Doggie Treats

What's in a name? You sure don't want to read the list of ingredients on most doggie treats. Some are better than others.

Personally, good old MilkBone dog biscuits are pretty good. My dog agrees.

I have a dog.

I give my dog "treats". We both think the MilkBone treats are ok but some of the others taste like dry particle board. I assume. Something on the flavor quality of Banana flavored Popsicles... or banana flavored anything other than bananas. IMHO of course. I am sure there are things that are even worse. Then, chocolate and peanut butter is an obscenity in my mind. I like both of them, they just don't belong together. I don't know what is in that peanut butter cup but it sure isn't peanut butter! I'd rather eat a Twinkie! Ding Dong's now are... ah yes, dog treats....

Other doggie treats are so artificial in flavoring that I am surprised he will eat them... but then... we know where dogs lick. A true dog lover is someone who knows the answer to that and enjoys a good lick on the ear from his dog... and one who does not immediately run for the wash basin or the shower.


I picked up a habit from my maternal grandfather of eating an apple by paring off thin slices and eating the slices as I cut them off the apple. Danny gets the core pieces and, truth be told, an occasional slice.
If I am eating a carrot, he gets a chunk.
If I am eating a slice of bread with peanut butter on it I have been known to wipe a little finger full on the roof of his mouth. That is both treat and humor. He gets back at me by taking a bite out of my slice of bread and peanut butter... which slice automatically then becomes his. (I love dogs... but there is a limit!) He, wisely, prefers to lick the peanut butter from the bread.

I have a dog.

He gets treats and has turned the process into a con game.

I have a dog. I didn't say I was smart. It may be safe to say that I am a 'soft touch'. Don't let it get around. I have a reputation and Danny does not want the competition.
