Thinking twice about lemon water

I love lemons!

In California there are probably as many lemon trees as palm trees, and my mother-in-law has a nice, big one in her backyard. When she comes to visit, she usually packs a few to bring along because she knows how much I like them.

Personally, nothing hits the spot on a hot day like a big, icy glass of lemonade, or if I'm feeling under the weather, it's nice to have a cup of steaming hot tea with a squeeze of fresh lemon and honey. I also enjoyed lemon in my water when dining out; however, after my friend Lori forwarded this video to me, I shall be drinking tap water sans lemon from now on. How about you?

Is dog food tasty?

I have never tasted dog food, at least I cannot remember if I have; however, Luke has discovered the crunchy morsels in Missy's dog bowl and can't keep them out of his mouth!

Now, I'm not dumb. I do realize that as long as he is crawling around in the kitchen, the dog's food and water bowls should be on the counter. But, the dog's gotta eat, right? So when Luke is seemingly occupied with other things, or is crawling off to another room, I put the food down. And today I forgot about it.

Every mom knows that when a crawling baby is quiet for more than 60 seconds straight, it's probably because they are into something they shouldn't be...like unraveling toilet paper into the toilet, pulling trash out of the trashcan, or eating dog food, which is precisely what Luke was doing this morning. Unfortunately, I didn't catch him in time. When I fished the chunks out of his mouth, they were nothing more than the leftover dissolved particles of the larger, denser pieces that he had managed to get into his mouth.

So, I suppose I can take comfort in the information I read on the Goodlife website:

"That's why all of our products are made with the right balance of real wholesome ingredients your pet needs without any of the artificial flavors or preservatives they don't. Our range of food for dogs and cats, wholesome biscuits & bones for dogs and wholesome treats for cats are not only safe but healthy and delicious."

Since Luke loves Missy so much, it only seems natural that he should share in the love of her food too, right?
