Maybe I should buy him a real bone?

flash-and-the-bone-folderLast night, I found my dog chewing on one of my brand new bone folders! I didn't have the heart to tell him it's not a real bone, I was laughing too hard. I guess I should be him more real bones huh? But was he trying to tell me that he wanted a bone? Or that he wanted to stamp?
