gross

Dogs are gross.  Really gross. 


Of course we all know that they eat cat poop and lick their own exit holes and bugs and anything else that smells bad.  I'm never surprised when I see one of our dogs making a horrid scene of themselves but something happened yesterday afternoon that I just felt the need to write down. 


Hershey The Destroyer is a pretty young mini-bulldog or something.  We don't really know what kind of dogling she is because we don't know where she came from.  One day she appeared.  Walking down the driveway. And she never left. 


Well Hershey's an adventurer.  I was sitting out in the south yard with her and Butty and Gertie.  Hershey pranced over to a weed patch and sniffed down and quickly pulled up a fresh earthworm.  Right out of the ground, as they do.  She likes the fresh ones.  Jake likes worms but they really need to be aged.  They need to be crispy.  I guess you could guess that Hershey is sort of a health nut as far as earthworms go.  Hershey trotted over by herself and tossed the worm around like a puppy does and then she dropped it and carefully peed on it. 


Gertie came over and saw what was going on and, you know dogs, she too peed on the worm. 


Butty saw the action and promptly peed on the worm.


Hershey then found the worm once again.  She carried over by me and sat down. 
And she ate it.


Dogs are gross.  Really gross.
