Bird Breath

My best blog material involves the dietary habits of the canine resident of our home. So here goes another tale...

Ever seen two nightgown and robe-dressed women (one pushing forty and the other four) running around their deck on an early autumn morning trying to retreive a bird from the jaws of their retriever? Yep- that was the photo op at my house this morning.

Our Duke pup brought a bird to the back door and then wouldn't let it go... I guess he thought it was a present or some kind of gift/offering. (YUCK) No wonder God isn't into animal sacrifice anymore- it is smelly and gross.

A pair of gloves, trash bag, and three dog biscuits later... bird was history. Sigh. So far this year our dog has eaten...
  • 40 pounds dog food (a month)
  • 20 pounds of small rock
  • 1 box of Kleenex tissues
  • 2 pillows from daughter's dollhouse
  • 1 number '5' puzzle piece
  • 2 halves of two differnet one dollar bills
  • attempted one early morning bird

This is getting expensive to feed him!
