My husband, The Colonel, has talked me in to writing this, just so you know! It all started before my Beagle, Tasha died. She would not eat her dog food no matter what I would ad to it. She finally just quit eating. MO had done the same thing and when we took him to the vet he gave me a recipe for some really healthy food.

I made it for Tasha and she would not even touch it. So, one night I was looking for something to fix for supper and I asked The Colonel what he wanted. He looked in the refrigerator and said what about this? He pulled out the food I had fixed for Tasha. I looked at him and saw he was serious. OK, I said, just remember you asked for it. I warmed it up, put it on a plate for him and called him to supper.

During this time I had also ran out of napkins for our meals. He gave me a roll of blue shop towels and said here you go. Then he said, here we are eating dog food and using shop towels for napkins…what will people think of us?!

Have a good New Year’s Eve and Day from the folks at the Red Oak Ranch.
