It's official.

...May Bee prefers elk bones to Milk Bones. (And yes, I know it's gross to let that nasty thing in the house, but we live in the city so there's RATS in our backyard at night. The only thing ickier than a giant carcass on the living room carpet is a giant carcass feeding the neighborhood vermin!) BIG THANKS to Felipe for saving a bone from the last hunt!

She's a little obsessed, btw. Her new full-time job is guarding her dinosaur leg (which Karen considers a big improvement after her old occupation as Private Areas Sniffer).
