Go figure?!

Every time we went through a drive through and Cricket would get a Milkbone from an eager drive-through window worker, she would turn up her nose is disdain, and I would have try to make up some excuse of why my dog is acting like such a snob.

But then, she woke up one day (not so long ago) and everything seemed to change. Maybe it’s all the cooking I do? Maybe she is just getting senile in her old age? But whatever had happened she is now a food hound for sure. In fact, I just fed her a RAW CARROT the other day and she scarfed it down like it was a tender piece of filet mignon. Yes way!
