These Dogs are Trying to KILL Me

I have been walking the dogs a lot in the lower field lately, as the grass has been mowed and hay has been harvested. I thought the dogs LOVED this walk...but i may be wrong. Yesterday, i think they might have been trying to tell me something.
I normally walk down the river with them, and then we turn and head back to the house. Fred normally lingers at the river for a bit, and then races to catch up with us. Well, yesterday i got to the top of the field, and noticed that Fred was not by my side. I looked down into the field, and the little shit was rolling in shit. Coyote? Fox? Elephant? Who the hell knows. I got him home, and hosed him off, and sprayed him down with "Key West Guy" doggie deodorant. He still reeked, so into the shower he went. It was very painful for both of us. But, the end result was worth it.
After dinner, i took the little mongrels back down into the field for a walk. Normally, Henry is either rightinfrontofmetrippingmeup, or rightbehindme. I got to the top of the field, and noticed he was nowhere to be found. I look down into the field, and Henry is EATING the pile of shit that Fred had rolled in. GAG.
Now, Henry is normally a perfect prince. He does NOTHING wrong. Except eat wild animal shit every so often. Honestly, i would rather he chew on my newest pair of shoes than eat wild animal shit.
This is not a sign of a diet deficiency. My dogs eat better than the vast majority of HUMANS...and not humans in the WORLD, but humans in frakking Beverly Hills. Seriously, they eat an insanely nutritious diet...the Volhard Diet, to be specific. Henry is just groddy. What can i say...he LIKES wild animal shit.
Nice.

Ok...so now i will take this time to write about my NEW favorite tv show. Aside from the Dallas reruns, which i cannot seem to get enough of (I was a Dynasty watcher back in the day...never did watch Dallas...what was i thinking???) I am LOVING the TBS show "My Boys". When they were first promoting this show, sometime last year, i was a hater. The network did a HORRIBLE job...it looked so annoying, and the clips they showed were the worst. In fact, the clips they show now are STILL the worst. Well, after reading Pop Candy's (my fave entertainment blog) review of the show, i decided to give it a shot. OHMYGAWD....best show ever. for now, at least. Or at least until they bring Buffy back. Or Veronica Mars. sigh. Can we get a moment of silence? anywhoot, Single girl sportswriter, living in Chicago...her brother is Jim Gaffigan, who i heart..so funny, cute roommate, and dorky cute guy friends. the show is clever and witty, and i watch it over and over again. And it is clever and witty in a good way...not in an annoying "Friends" way. I love it as much as The Office. Well, not really...but almost.

Don't you just HATE IT when you spend a fortune on foot and supplements only to have them retreat to their instincts and eat something gross!?!

That's pretty disguisting and funny all at the same time about your dogs. I so thought Henry was better than that!

I haven't watched My Boys - good, huh? I'm a huge fan of The Closer and I've been watching Las Vegas on DVD - love it!! g
