If your human has not made this for you, you are being deprived of your basic rights and not being spoiled nearly enough. Marrow bones are inexpensive, easy to make and very, very yummy! This is how my mom makes it.
Get a package of Marrow Bones from the butcher or meat section of the supermarket. They all have them just ask. This entire pack set my mom back about $4.00.
Put the bones, a teaspoon of garlic and 1/3 of a cup of water in a baking dish. Cover with foil and bake for 40 minutes at 350 degrees. My mom likes to use garlic but, if your human does not like garlic, just water is fine.
While the bones are cooking, hang out, smile with anticipation, maybe take a nap and wait for the timer to go off. This is me preparing for a nap on the patio while I wait.
This is what you get when they are done. Your human should check to make sure the bones are cool enough to be enjoyed, we don’t any burned tongues. The rest of the bones can be stored in the fridge or freezer for future enjoyment.
The proper way to enjoy a bone: On day one I scoop out the middle (marrow) first with my tongue. Be very meticulous here you don’t want to miss any of the middle this is good stuff. Next, I work on the cartilage on the outside. It takes a lot of work so feel free to hide your bone in your bed and take a break as you go. On day two I work on the bone itself. Nibble at it, scrape your teeth on it, enjoy it until it looks like the picture below and your human says ‘yuck’ and throws it in the trash. Don’t worry about the trash thing. There are more bones in the fridge after all and you will be too tired and happy from two full days of working on that bone to be upset.
So off with you! Go look your human in the face, use sad eyes, cute eyes, kisses, tail wags or whatever it takes to get them out to the grocery store to buy marrow bones. Remember life is best when you love and obey your human and whatever you do don’t go into the trash to remove the used bone. Trust me…..
*Note from the human-mom: I use marrow bones because I don’t worry about shards or pieces breaking off and being ingested. Many dogs enjoy their marrow bones raw or just warmed and I have friends that serve it this way. However, Coco will not eat anything raw so I cook them. Feel free to serve the bones the way that makes you most comfortable and your dog will enjoy the most.
