aaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! never bones, let alone sharp bones for your pet. Heres a true story: My Mothers sick friend died and she took in the ladys medium sized dog, Champ. Mom took him to the vet to be checked and asked "what kinds of bones should I give him?" The vet frowned then smiled and said; "elephant bones." Mom looked quizically at him, thought then smiled and said, "oh I get it no bones, right?" Too many pets have died of bones stuck in the throat, in the bowel etc. or bones slivers penetratring the esophagus or intestines....Maybe you could try beef jerky for his chewing delight instead?

Oops, nearly forgot Dotsie, glad the furniture is everythig you hoped it would be. Just keep the dogs nails trimmed and even filed smooth. My leather has withstood many doggy visitors of all sizes and shapes, still does...
