And for some reason it had been a couple days since Daisy or I had seen it anywhere! At first I'm never concerned about his 'missing' toys, as often they migrate from home to school to the car or get left in the backpack. However, for his bone, I was kind of wondering where it went.
This bone was very useful because if we wanted a few minutes to just relax, we stuck some peanut butter in it and let Hamlet have at it. He would lick and lick until he got as much of the peanut butter as he could - and in the process not chew any furniture, carpet, etc.
It was early morning one day, before 7:30 AM, when Daisy felt a strange sensation on her feet. She was standing in the kitchen, starting to make coffee and oatmeal for breakfast. It felt like something bit her, and she rubbed her foot. I heard her make some noise as I was walking down the stairs. And then, to our surprise, she discovered that she was standing in a trail of black ants that crossed our kitchen!
After grabbing some slippers, for limited protection, we took a look under the stove -- and found the bone covered in ants!! Apparently Hamlet had knocked the bone under the stove (hence it went missing) and now two days later we had a sizable trail of ants from our back door through the kitchen. :). We got out the broom to sweep out the ants, and we tossed the bone outside for them as well. Cheers!
