I'm probably getting my dog a stuffed toy of some kind. He loves to shred them, which gets expensive real fast, which is why they're saved as Christmas or birthday presents for him lol. I also want to get him a chew of some kind for him to enjoy on Christmas morning. He would probably be happiest if I got him another dog to play with but that's not likely to happen right now lol.
For the chickens, maybe I'll give them some extra-special soaked seeds or something. I have to think about that one
Rawhide scares me, too. I've given it to him before when he needed a chew but I try not to give too often. There's these chews called No-Hide Rawhide that he really loves, and those I do give him.
