Well I thought we wouldn't be dealing with this until at least a toddler was around... but Ramona is a Beagle, which means a lot of eating. On Saturday, our friends were so sweet to bring over those delicious sugar cookies with the icing that the grocery store puts out for just about every holiday or season. These had purple frosting (totally appropriate for the LSU game that was on) with Halloween sprinkles on top. Sunday morning, I woke up to my alarm at 7am, fed my always hungry dog, and went back to bed. About an hour later I found Ramona behind the chair with the tray of cookies- with only 1 cookie left! She ate about 15 cookies! She looked up at me with a look of "OMG what did I just do?!"
That's what I get for leaving any edible objects on the dining table. The good news is, she left no mess on any rugs and licked up all the crumbs. And as for vomiting, which we thought was sure to happen, none occurred. Thank goodness! But this Halloween outfit from Target is extremely appropriate :) I can only imagine what we would find in her belly if we could see... (worms, lizards, crab claws, crawfish heads, chicken bones, grasshoppers, chewed gum- just a few that we know of)!
On December 5, 2010 Josh and I welcomed RAMONA into our home. The shelter named her Sasha, but we knew we wanted to give her an identity that was from us. Her name, recommended by Josh's 11-year-old nephew,was a perfect fit for her overly friendly yet quirky demeanor. The last few weeks have been full of worms… literally! This dog is the wormiest dog I have ever met! On my quest to de-worm my dog (hookworms, tapeworms, and heartworms), I've been concentrating on how I can be a great owner.
