The mystery bone.

I found a mysterious bone in my garage today. My garage is pretty tidy and often used and the bone was right at the door that leads into the house so I think I would have noticed the mystery bone if it had been there for any length of time.

I mowed my yard just today and I didn't see anywhere that maybe my dog might have dug it up. She's a good dog and doesn't dig anyway but maybe she was mad about something or..... something. Dogs. Nobody really knows, right?

My cat is a good hunter but she's a dinky squirt. Maybe 7 pounds. I don't think she could have killed anything that had a bone this size in it.

Mo denies any knowledge of said bone.

Mr. B is a bit odd but he typically doesn't leave bones outside the door or anything nutty like that.

As you can (or can't - sorry for the crappy photos) see the bone is about 5 inches long, and 2 inches across with a big bone type hole in the middle. It's dirty but not meaty.

I'm hoping that someone might recognize my mystery bone and offer an explaination as to why it might be in my garage all mysterious-like.

If it is your bone and you left it here please come get it.

Thank you for your help!

I think it's a soup marrow bone. I sometimes give them to my dogs as they are very hard, good for their teeth and full of nutritious marrow. It looks like it was cut by a butcher (they use a band saw meat cutter). I think you dog is to blame, he either stole it out of someone's garbage or a nice person threw it over your fence for him.

It's a marrow bone or a soup bone available at your local grocery meat counter. Methinks yah dawg has been dumpster diving.

The dog is the most likely suspect, for sure. But she is not a free range dog. Plus, she's old, lazy and well fed.

I shall question the neighbors regarding bone dispersal.

Problem neighbors!? I've never know such a soul. My neighbors are lovely. So lovely I don't think they'd give my dog bones without asking first.

I've been thinking through this soup bone scenario. I make a lot of soup and I have never encountered a bone this large. What possible cut of meat would leave one with such a bone?

It's a cow shin, very common and once very cheap.

It's a message.

First, bones turn up.

Then, worse.

Be afraid. Be very afraid.

Oh rats! Now you tell me to listen to the bone.

It was Bachelor #1's dog's bone. He is mystified as to how it ended up in my garage. Maybe the racoons did it.

Anyway.....

Maybe he'll let me borrow it back so I can listen to it......

It's got a good rhythm. I could dance to it.

Wait a minute...

Bachelor #1 sent you a bone and you're baffled? C'mon!

0 Replies

Ha!

Bachelor #1 has all the action he can handle.

Now if it had been Bachelor #2......

I live on Bachelor block - 5 single men (two of them raising their young daughters alone). It's an interesting place. I'm convinced I could rent out my house at say six month stretches to single women and make enough to pay for this house and whatever place we have to live in during rentals.

You should place an ad in tomorrow's paper. It would be like shooting fish in a barrel.

What you have is the perfect situation comedy set-up.
Five bachelors ( two with kids) one single woman.

That will have to be reduced to three, all with kids, in the pilot.

Hmmm. Let's say she's a work from home type(a backyard studio) where she does custom marketing design work (Eva can help you with the details).

None of the men are widowers, that way we can have the evil ex-wives show up now and then.

All of the kids (one guy has two, so let's say, four in total) all want a new mom, both for themselves and their dads.

The problem is all of the guys are burned out on love (that's the title of the show?) and the woman in the center of things has never met a man who was just right for any period longer than three days.

Okay, episode one, the woman steps out of her door and slips on a soup bone. She limps over to the next door neighbor's house to confront the hounddog's owner.

Hilarity ensures.

I expect pages by Sunday night.

Er...

That could actually make it.

Hillary Swank is an excellent choice to play me!

I'll dish out some soup-bone-esque tidbits about life among the bachelors, you fill in all the many and various blanks and become rich and famous and never forget to send me a royalty check which allows me to remain anonymous and inconspicuous.

Perfect!
