My Greeters and Dog Biscuits
After Aquarobics this morning, I went to the grocery store. One of the things I bought was a big bag of doggie biscuits. I carried it into the house with me in my first trip of getting the groceries into the house. My two greeters, Desy and Rusty, were really excited as I brought the bag into the house.
I have a plastic, bone-shaped container that I put the dog biscuits in and they always know when I pick that up what's in that container and what comes next. But today I see that they know all about the bag of biscuits that comes from the store and that surprised me, though I know it shouldn't. The nose knows.
I'm reminded today of how much Rusty has learned from living here. When he first came to our house and I gave him a biscuit, he took it politely and then laid it down and let Desy have it. He didn't seem to know what to do with it. He did that the next couple times and then he tried it for himself. Now he loves the biscuits as much as Desy does. When I say, "Who wants a cookie?" he comes bounding and eagerly accepts his treat. And, eats every crumb! It would be a shame to run out of dog biscuits.

What a heart-warming story. How sad that he had never been given a biscuit before; I'm so glad he's making up for lost time. He's a lucky boy (they're both lucky).
