Spoiled Bully
NFL season starts now! I've taken Spud to the park for an hour, played fetch for 30 minutes and another 30 minute walk right now. Now that football is starteing I have to find something to spoil and occupy Spud while I watch games. Today he gets a raw buffalo bone marrow to chew on for hours while I watch before he sleeps.
What do you guys spoil your bully to keep them occupied for hours on end?

It's 6:30 now and he's just chewing his elephant stuffed animal while I watch football. Didn't need to give him the bone marrow yet.
well, seeing as how an average everyday walk is about 2-4 hours, depending on the weather, if its not too hot we will go for 5-6 hours.
then we play in the yard either fetch, flirt pole or the unbreak-o-ball for an hour.
then I freeze all meals so they usually take about 20 minutes to eat (if im lucky!)
BUT, if I want peace and quiet for a while, I hand them dear spines, whole deer spines-let them chew on them for several hours on speciel occasions they can last for months!

We normally so a 1.5 hour dog park play and he's tired around an hour and we rest for the last 30. He's still young so when he gets older i expect to do a little more stuff like hiking and running.
You have to be careful of of CWD in the areas it is present, but if your used to eating your own venison, then your probably sued to having it tested thru the DNA before eating it anyways.
As far as parasites go-I have never been too worried aout my dogs getting parasites because my dogs don't eat the intestinal tract where most parasites live-plus they are also on a monthly wormer.
BUT-if you do worry about parasites, freezing venison for 2 weeks will suffice in killing any lingering parasite, wild caught fish area different matter and should be frozen for up to 6 weeks (difference is, parasites living in mammals need warmth, parasites in fish do not.
the spines I gave my two still had a decent amount of meat on them, I would give them to them to munch on for several hours then pick it up and put it back in the freezer until the next time.
deer legs are also much loved treats-my dogs eat the hooves off first before eating the rest, stripping the fur off and eating that too. here is a video of Cesar carrying around a deerl eg I gave him-he had to go out to go potty, but didn't want to set his leg down
even Chimera as a 7 months old was able to demolish a deer leg-fur and all!

Yes, I know many people would be quite upset to see a dog eating whole dead prey animal, or these deer legs-but remember, people WILL hunt deer for meat-its a given, these legs were to be thrown away by the processor who processed this deer, things like the rib cage, spine,legs, pelvis,etc, would all have been thrown away in a large dumpster.
by me taking these things-my dogs get a good meal, and we are not contributing to wasteful-ness
same as when I take meat that is still good from the grocery store, people don't buy it because it just doesn't get sold, so they throw it in the dumpster to be taken away to a dump, by me taking it for my dogs to eat, im making sure that, those cows,chickens,turkeys, etc are not killed needlessly in slaughterhouses.
I see it as-they are killed anyways-the parts are going to be throw away if I don't take them and use them-I may as well use them!
Now I gotta get Stoge some spines and legs before they hit the dumpster and the rendering guy comes to pick 'em up!
FYI - he's looking at the two cats my niece has over. One allows Spud to play with her but the other always runs away. I'll try and get a picture with Spud's cat friend playing.
