    Oh my goodness, Angel! I think I'd like to enclose your young humans in thick layers of bubble wrap before the next round of lawn skiing! Seriously, though ... I bet you sure like to run when you are outdoors and you see something interesting (like a bunny).

    Wolfy and the kitties are driving me nutz...............

    They are all on bug patrol. Now that the weather is cooler, the flies especially are finding their way indoors. If Wolfman isn't slamming into walls after them, then the kitties are taking flying leaps in mid air after them,, or slamming into the windows and jumping at the windows from atop their cat treehouse. And of course, they think the ones that they see outside on the windows, are really inside. It sounds like a small war has erupted inside the house ----- slam/bang/crash/splat/ -----

    You'd think the pain of slamming into things would somewhat discourage the lure of the hunt! Ha!

    Doesn't faze any of them in the least. After a brief rest and time out for their supper, they are back at it again.

    I often wonder what (besides the wall, or other piece of structure) is going through their heads when they're on the hunt.

    Well, I think a certain someone is finally settling in to the idea that she doesn't have to worry about where her next meal is coming from.

    We're getting picky about food.

    We give her treats after she comes in, normally a dog biscuit or two. They normally have the generic biscuits on sale up at the grocery store, and she hasn't complained aout them, so that's what we were getting.

    Yesterday she left 4 puppy cookies on the floor after a couple of trips outside, and didn't eat them until Patch started eyeing them. We were running low on cookies, so I picked up a box of milk bones on the way home this morning. Those didn't get left around, she ate them immediately.

    Time to start buying the Mother Hubbard cookies again.

    Awww, as soon as the kat is looking at them, they suddenly need to get eaten! Silly pup!

    Picky about food is something that Wolfy doesn't know the meaning of. Afterall - he's known as Mr Foodie in this house. He only gets all natural dog food - no by-products and fillers, etc, and the only "people" food that he gets, is bite size pieces of carrot or apple,, and he loves broccoli too. He eats better than I do.

    Anyway - have you ever tried the natural dog cookie treats that are made from various fruits and veggies for Angel? Ill bet she would LOVE them. Wolfman loves the apple ones, and the banana too. There's one that's made from pomegranate and blueberries, as well as other mixed fruit, carrots, peanut butter, and others too. I get them at a pet supply store in town, and I know that Petsmart and Petco carry them also.

    Give her something "special", and leave the Milk Bones for those other ordinary dogs. Come on Angel - tell Dad that you DESERVE the best.......
