All You Need is Love!
This has been a great Friday! This morning Diane and her daughter, Susan, drove out from Kerrville to possibly adopt a dog! Diane believes two dogs are better than one, and because one of her old dogs had passed away recently, from old age, she wanted to get a companion for her other dog.
Ringo was the first dog she met on the tour and Diane fell in love with Ringo the minute she met him but she and Susan still wanted to take a tour to make sure. After meeting all of our other dogs—Ringo was the one for her!
After signing Ringo’s adoption papers Diane asked me several questions about Ringo and then she told me her plans. First off, Ringo will be an inside dog and will, of course, be allowed to sit on the people couch as well as the custom made dog couch, which by the way— was more expensive than her people couch! Diane told me that her routine for feeding her dogs has always been to feed the finest canned dog food mixed with dry dog food in the morning. Then several times during the day she gives them treats to eat. (I love the next part.) Then she cooks them dinner! Diane told us she has always enjoyed cooking for her dogs and every night she serves her dogs cooked liver or gizzards for dinner.
Here is Diane’s recipe: Cook meet in olive oil. Cut meat into small chunks. Then fill dog bowls with a little dry dog food, stir in the meat and then drizzle the remaining juices over the mixture!
Voila! Dinner is served!
After Susan, Diane and Ringo happily drove away, I said to Tony, John and Ben, “Ringo is going to think that he has died and gone to heaven with that new lifestyle! I can just see it now. Tonight, after Ringo has eaten his first home cooked meal by Diane, he will be sitting on his doggie couch with Diane’s other dog, thinking—screw that rescue ranch!”
The guys laughed.
