Attention dog-owners.
Consider this a Public Service Announcement.
I was at Food Lion the other day
and naturally was on the dog food aisle.
I decided to get some chew treats
for Dixie and Giada and Beau and Junior.
So Junior won't eat other things
he's not supposed to
because he does have a tendency to do that.
I will never buy these spirals again.
I've never had a problem giving
my puppies pig ears,
but I ran into a problem this morning with Junior
after he chewed and ingested the spiral chews.
Mr. Hawthorne walked into the living room
this morning while I was
"blaaaaaahhhhhhhhhggginggggggg,"
(That's how he pronounces it.)
and asked me, "What's that on the floor over there?"
I turned to look and said,
"I don't know but I ain't cleaning it up."
I walked over to check it out
and recognized it as part pizza box
and part spiral rawhide which had ...
expanded.
I looked at poor Junior
and immediately his face and body language
went into hang-dog mode.
He knew he'd done something
socially unacceptable -
a faux pas, if you will.
Poor baby.
I tried to tell him everything was OK
and I'm sure you must feel muuuuuuch better.
But he wasn't havin' it.
Went under the bench in the corner.
So I straightened out the sheets and towels
Dixie was lying on
because I knew that's where he wanted to be.
Little Junior immediately went to lie
next to Dixie.
Sweet.
And don't worry about Junior.
He's very resilient.
Hours later,
he was feeling fine.
Dixie's sleepy and tired after jumping
in the pool 216 times
and swimming around for two hours.
