Question:

: My little girl Casino is the love of my life. She gets tons of attention and play time and toys. She will pass any or all of the above for rocks. What on earth
: is so special to her about a rock?

Hi Linda,

It really beats me! I also have a terrier that has a fascination with rocks. Every time we are outside he likes to find a rock and carry it around and redeposit it somewhere else....much to my husband's dismay.

I am lucky in the fact that my guy picks large rocks so I don't have to worry about him ingesting it, but at the same token he sometimes chews on them and it shows on his teeth.

I wish I could tell you why, but my guy is not telling me!

Just make sure she doesn't swallow any.

Wish I could help you more, but thought you would at least like to know that Casino has a "partner in crime."

Regards,
Marie
