The Husband is on a diet. The Atkins diet which limits him to eating anything but bark and dirt. Not really but it feels like that when I'm trying to make meals interesting, like coating chicken and or pork chops with crushed pork rinds. Do you know how awkward it is to crush pork rinds?
He's been on this diet once before and so we know what to expect. Last time he didn't cheat at all this time...well.... That's where this story starts.
The Husband is sitting in the living room watching TV. He's always been a cruncher, preferring pretzels and other crunchy stuff while watching TV. Which is probably why he has to lose some weight. So one night, while I was safely away in the craft room he spies a bright yellow bag of People Crackers sitting on a tray. The bag is already open and ripe for the picking and so, since the diet police aren't around... namely me... he takes a couple of the cute people shaped crackers and put them in his mouth.
He chewed once then spat it all out thinking that they had gone bad till he picked up the bag looked at it closely and realized he'd just eaten DOG TREATS!!!!!
Maybe he's discovered a new diet. The dog treat diet. The stuff tastes so bad you don't want to eat ANYTHING.
BTW Little dog Ollie doesn't like the people crackers either. I threw them outside for the birds. But wait... what if the birds are on Atkins? We are going to have some plump sparrows a=hanging about.

ha ha! I remember buying some Alpo that looked just like stew - had peas and tiny carrot bit in it. I served half the can to the dog and put the other half in the refrigerator. Later that night I heard my dad tell my mom that he really enjoyed the left over stew!
