I thought so too awhile back, but it is perfectly safe. Raw bones are as well, and those are far harder than any little egg shell. :P Many wild animals eat the eggs of other animals as well.

Cool, now tally has a new snack :p if she'll eat it, I think she would just lick the egg flavor off it.

Clemmy managed to fill her food bowl with one push of the pedal today xD If you push it down far enough, it tends to stick a little bit and release a lot of food at once. I think I nearly drowned her in praise.

For those who don't know what I'm talking about plus I like showing her off

Woot woot! Lol, I just bought Victoria Stillwell's book, "It's Me or the Dog", for $3 x)
It's in brand new condition; I'm so happy I found it because our library doesn't have it.

Omg this is what happens when I leave the dog and the boyfriend alone together. I receive a text at work that went like this "call me, squirrel, dog, in the house...wow" so I immediately assume the dog must be injured or the house must be destroyed.

Call my boyfriend I guess he was in bed with the dog (lazy buggers!) and heared a squirrel outside the window. Murray has issues with squirrels, he HATES them. Ever sense we were in the garden shed and one jumped out and startled me he can't stand them. Anyway He went out with the dog because the dog was having a fit. No squirrel. Turned to go back inside and as he opened the door it came out of the flower bed and Murray chased it right into the house! My poor boyfriend! All he could do was hide the cats in the bathroom (the dog was going nuts he was afraid he would get over excited and hurt one of them). I guess they nearly turned the place upside down! Unfortunately Murray caught the squirrel but at least it's not still in our house.

I just hate it when people seriously think positive reinforcement/clickers/all that jazz is "for pansies" "weak" "teaches no respect" and yes, I've really heard someone call it "queer". Really.

"It just throws food at the dog!"
"it doesn't teach them respect or anything-- it puts a bandaid on the problem"

sigh
