    Even the deep state will not waste wet food on Sly. He is on a strict Kibble diet.

    When I was a kid there used to be this dry dog food called Sure Champ. My cousin said we could eat the stuff so we all took a turn crunching on some Sure Champ. Why I ever listened to my cousin and his frequent stupid ideas, I'll never know.
    Thanks for making me relive my experience eating dry dog food. Ewwwwwwwwwwwww

    1. Okay, lighting the blue flame was always fun;
    2. Why did you have to pick on a sore when you reminded me of eating dog food?
    3. Have you ever tried eating wet cat food? There, paid you back!

    Do dogs have a soul and do they go to heaven?

    My oldest son has a dog named Sadie and a cat named Lucy (as well as another cat named McCartney. Got a Beatles theme going).

    My other son has a dog named Murphy.

    My mother named him Tonto after the faithful Indian companion of my favorite TV hero at the time (I was 9 years old when we got him), the Lone Ranger. We had him until I was nearly 12 and he died from some infection which I believe was his kidneys. he went everywhere I went. He used to gallop behind our car as we went to the nearby grocery store. He followed me to school and would put his paws up on the schoolroom window just to get a peek at me. I loved him more than anyone else in my family.
    He would have gladly given his life for me. That's pure love and in a time in my life that was pretty rocky it was just what I needed. Yep, he's for sure in heaven.
