A possessive pronoun does not take an apostrophe. This is an exception to the rule that an apostrophe indicates the possessive. To write, 'the dog lost it's bone,' is not correct. The correct way is without the apostrophe: 'The dog lost its bone.' 'It's' (i.e., with an apostrophe) is correct only when used as a contraction of 'it is.'
