Peanut Beggars

Tonight, the Grrls are begging peanuts from Mom.  She's shelling peanuts, taking the red skin off and tossing them peanuts.  (Can you say SPOILED DOGS???)

Sophie *always* catches whatever you throw for her to catch.  Well, except for liver.  All of our Grrls detest raw liver.  It just cracks me up to picture in my head the first time they each had liver tossed to them.  Sophie caught the liver piece, it *barely* touched her tongue and she spat it back out, then looked up at Mom like she was trying to poison her.  Hahahaha!  Have you ever seen a look like that from a dog?  It's supposed to be something they LIKE.

Yenna just doesn't catch the treat unless she knows she's going to like it.  Sometimes, she doesn't catch it even if she knows she's going to like it.  Cookies, for instance, are in that category.  Cookies are a favorite food, but she'd rather see it drop to the floor and go picking it up.  It's frustrating to never quite know if she's going to catch it or not.  What a picky, spoiled snot of a dog.  Yen doesn't like liver, hearts, or stomach.  She doesn't like fish, in general.  She doesn't like lima beans (a dog after my own taste buds, let me tell ya!).

Lady Bug *NEVER* catches anything you toss to her - even if she can catch it.  It's clearly beneath her to do some "common dog" trick like catching your food.  It should always be HANDED to her...  First, it should be presented properly, though, so she may enjoy the aromas before considering it to actually touch her palette.  Liver, unless properly breaded, spiced, and crisped in oil, is something she would never consider.  She'd never say something like "blech," but that sort of low-food form is just uncouth.  WHY would we consider laying that before her Royalness?  Ugh.  It's so hard to find good help.  She can be so catty some times.
