Re: [PyrNet-L] new addition to our pyr family *G*(kinda long)

["Andy and Mary Hasper" <ahasper@mmcable.com>]

I know the feeling with that *L*. My terrier mix Reba loves any type of
veggies. her favorite is jalapenos though..she will do anything to get them.
But i don't like her to have them..besides the "doggie air biscuits"*L* they
cause i'm not sure they are really are great part of her diet. Jalapenos are
no longer allowed in our house..the final straw was when i found her
actually inside the garbage can (it has a flip top lid & one of us here
forgot to rehook the lock we've added to it) & she was happily munching away
on remainders of jalapenos, didn't touch anything else *L*. so now no more
jalapenos are allowed here. I tried to scold her, but as you stated it was
hard to keep the smile off my face, she was just to funny to see peeking her
head out of the garbage can with that "mom i'm not doing anything wrong
look". But now we've gotten a new garbage can with a lock top on it *L* &
have moved it to (hopefullY) a new area where the dogs can't get to it.
