Commissary treats

I don't know if most food stores stock these, and I just haven't noticed (and maybe it is due to the extremely small size of our current commissary that causes me to notice just about everything, lol), but I can't get enough of them.  Canine cow cuts for Petunia!!  A 5 pack for about a dollar!

I got her a 2-pack of vertical cuts a few weeks ago, but she devoured those instantly, since the marrow was too easy to access.  These cross sections are great though!  Each one lasts her about 60-90 minutes, and it is nice to be able to put something aromatic in the oven--that she actually gets to enjoy (instead of just family meals, lol).  Back in the day, before the kids were born, I used to regularly cook her fresh meat/veggie patties, so maybe this takes her back a bit to her childhood.  Either way, she certainly enjoys them!

She just ate one last night, and I was going to treat her to another tonight, until I got home from picking Matt and the girls up from the Father-Daughter Princess Ball he took them to this evening (it was marvelous, by the way!).  However, while I was gone, Petunia managed to climb from the floor to the kitchen table to the counter--where she accessed a Tupperware container full of blondies I'd baked for the girls' school lunches/after school treats.  She broke into it and devoured the whole batch!!  (Thank goodness the chocolate amount was very low!)  This is, might I add, the SECOND Tupperware container she has been able to get into over the past couple of years, despite having no hands with which to break the otherwise impressive seals...  Guess she will have to wait until tomorrow for another bone!
