Chena crying

Yesterday, the dogs were outside and Chena, in perticular, was chewing on one of her bones. She was crying (whining) as she was chewing her bone. It's not unusual for her to cry when she wants something and it's not unusual for her to chew bones. What is unusual is for her to cry while chewing the bone. Why would she do this? Here's what I think...

All the neighborhood dogs were out in their yards at the same time yesterday, or at least all the neighbors surrounding us. They were all barking and whimpering and running the fences just to get a peek and sniff at each other. My guess is that Chena wanted to be chewing on her bone AND chasing the other dogs at the same time and since she could only do one or the other she chose the one she wanted to do the most and did it. And then she cried because she couldn't do have it all.

I'm just guessing here......
