I Know What You've Been Doing...

I just said that to the dog.  It wasn't what I was going to write about, but this topic is so poignant that I just have to drop a line. 

Tess is our 3rd dog -- all labs in part or full.  Tess is probably the most loving of all dogs.  She is also the most selective of hearing, the most egotistical (she thinks if she barks at EVERYTHING, she is intimidating), and she has an indiscriminating collection of taste buds.  She will eat almost anything -- chocolate covered in foil, brownies and chocolate cake, left over cereal, cat food and the most disgusting:  cat poop.  

Now you would need to know the 2 cats we currently have living with us to fully understand that this "delicacy" is not rare.  Tess is picky in that she prefers the "fresh-from-the-source" version over the "been-there-a-while" type.  Neither of our other dogs ever did this so it disgusts me to no end.  At least, I can always tell when she's had a snack so we get her plenty of water and real dog food to cleanse the palate.  Ewwwwwwww!!!!!!

Meanwhile, the 2 cats observe her with a look of dismay and tolerance.  Mack is the oldest at 9 and Loki, Lauren's fat cat we are fostering, is about 5?  They are as opposite as they come but since the younger one has become a permanent fixture, Mack has become quite the hip-hugger on the couch.  Loki takes over the table and plops himself down, rolls over and looks at you backwards just begging for a rub.  He also thinks he can hide his huge rear end behind the sheer drapes in the dining room.  He's not real bright.  

Come to think about it, Tess and Loki have the same color fur -- kind of blondish.....   Just makes you think.
