Treats for Everyone

Anastasia learned very early on that if she ate a sufficient quantity for lunch or dinner, she can usually get a treat after she's done. The dogs earn treats less frequently, but not so infrequently that we don't get pictures.

A couple of weeks ago, we bought a big tub of cheese balls. When they were all gone, Orlando put the tub on the floor to see what the dogs would do.



Chase sniffed it a little, then stepped away and let Basil have at it. Sadly, Basil is not the smartest dog in the world, and he was a little over excited by the empty tub with all the cheese smells. The result was pretty funny.



Then, this weekend, the dogs treat time coincided with Anastasia's, which offered a unique photo opportunity. When Toute was alive, treats for the dogs were given with a little bit of caution. This was the first time we'd given the dogs a treat since Toute left us. We were pleasantly surprised by the way the dogs decided to eat their treats.



If she'd been allowed, I think Anastasia would have joined the dogs on the pillow to enjoy her treat, too.
