Hahaha! Speaking of that, I’ve begun buying big cheap soup bones for my half Chihuahua/half Jack Russell and roasting them for him. Much cheaper than those big bones at the PetSmart or Petco places and it keeps him busy for days.
Half Chihuahua/half Jack Russell - that's one helluva combination. LOL! I love Jack Russells - one of the smartest small dog breeds I've ever seen. You ought to kill two birds with one stone with those soup bones, and get a good, meaty one to use for stock while you're at it. Our current dogpile populace is a company of two (we sadly lost Number Three last fall to cancer), so one bone ain't gonna cut it. The neighbor's dog is also a semi-custodial charge of ours - a big, beautiful, Collie-Lab mix, but they don't feed the poor girl worth a damn. They just leave her in the back yard and let her sleep in a crawlspace under the foundation of the house, and their idea of feeding her is pouring a five-pound bag of Ol' Roy on the ground once or twice a week, so we pick up the slack. She'd probably squeeze in the dog door and sleep on our bedroom floor if she could tunnel through the cinder-block retaining wall and get under the fence. When we buy meat, make it a point to make sure there's cheese enough to go around to all the mice.
"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away, for his name is Obama."
