Maybe the Dingo Ate Your Baby

I have owned dogs all my life, but I had never heard of Dingo Bones until we got Lily. Lily's first experience with a Dingo Bone was stealing our neighbors' dogs' mini Dingos out of their yard when they would leave them there, half eaten. She loved Dingo Bones so much that we eventually bought her some of her own and soon realized that they were a great way to keep her occupied for (fingers crossed) maybe half-an-hour. The only downfall to Lily's new interest in Dingo Bones was the cost. For a dog her size, she usually needs a medium-sized bone, and those cost almost $4 each if you buy them at pet stores. However, we had to satisfy Lily's expensive taste, so I searched online for a way to hopefully buy Dingo Bones in bulk and reduce the cost. I ended up finding the Dingo Bone website, www.dingobrand.com. There I was introduced to the wide world of all the products Dingo makes. The best discovery I made on Dingo's website was, however, that they sell their bones at a great discount if you buy a certain number. I think the medium bones were down to $1.96 if you bought around 50. Sure, 50 bones sounds like a lot, but it's not like they go bad, and the way Lily was eating them, it was worth it. Here's a picture of Lily with her first bulk order of Dingos.



Boy, was she a happy lady that day! After she ate her way through the first bulk order, I found a few great deals in the "specials" section of the website -- specifically one for beef-basted Wag 'N Wraps. They come two to a pack and were only 99 cents per pack. How can you beat that??

When the Wag 'N Wraps arrived, Lily devoured them just like she did the regular Dingo Bones, but there was only one problem -- the dye that they used to make the bones look more "beefy" rubbed off really easily. So, everywhere that Lily decided to eat one of the Wag 'N Wraps, a large red splotch was left behind. The carpet in my bedroom looks like an ax murderer came, went, and forgot to clean up the evidence. I had spent a lot of money on the bones and Lily did like eating them, even if they turned her paws pink, so I didn't want to just get rid of them. I started trying to rinse the bones off before I gave them to her to get rid of some of the coloring, and it helped a little, but there are still Wag 'N Wrap splotches all over the house. I have yet to find out if the red stains on the carpet will come out with a steam cleaner, so that will be the last of the 99-cent beef-flavored Wag 'N Wraps I'll be purchasing for some time.

Our latest purchase was the pork-flavored Wag 'N Wraps. These are a lighter, more natural brown color, so I thought they'd be safe. Lily has eaten two of them so far, and I can't see any brown splotches co-mingling with the red ones.

If your dog has a love of Dingos like Lily does, definitely check out the Dingo Brand website for great discounts. And if you would like to turn your beige carpet a lovely shade of pink, just buy some beef Wag 'N Wraps and let your dog go to town!
