Heart Like a Dog

The Good, the Bad, and the Oh My God of living with dogs!

LBD – (Life Before Delilah) Sampson use to enjoy pork roll raw hide treat.  When Delilah joined us we extended the habit to her as well.

Unfortunately Delilah’s idea of eating this treat was to woof it down as fast as she possibly could. After watching her struggle to swallow a huge piece, panicking wondering if a person could actually perform the Heimlich Maneuver on a dog (you can) and then watching her use her paw to dig it out of her mouth too many times, we switched treats.

BESIDES this treat is made from a whole bunch of stuff I can’t pronounce and from a dog food manufacturer who refuses to recall their China-made-dog-killing treats.

ANYHOW...

We would giggle watching Sampson with this treat because many times he would take it in his mouth like a stogie.

Edith, get me a beer!

“Nnng-you dirty ra-at, you killed my brother.”

 

Isn’t that cute?  How do you think I did with the caption?  Would you caption it differently?

A Little Yankee Ingenuity

Oh my god, I forgot to make the dog’s treats! I shouted at Hubby.

It was 9 o’clock and Delilah was ready for her snack.

Every morning as I’m washing up the dishes, I was out the bones from the night before and frost the end with pumpkin, leaving them to set in the freezer while I’m at work.  Once I get home, I prepare the dog’s food and fill the bone with yogurt and let it freeze until snack time.

I had frozen the pumpkin but forgotten to add anything else to the treat.

There was no way a certain Chocolate Lab was going to settle for a tiny bit of frozen pumpkin..

Think Quick!

IMG_4917 I had some frozen pineapple bits which I tucked into the bone.

IMG_4918 Remember the Tasty Cubes I made?  Well I took one and smashed it in to the bone.  It was just enough to make it enjoyable for her.

A little luck pitted with a little Yankee Ingenuity and all was right in Delilah’s world.
