I'm pretty sure I did that when I was a kid DD. I don't think a crunchy bit of whatever they are made of is nearly as nasty as canned food. Of course, at least with cat food, some are made to look and be a lot like people food. Still stinks though. And no, I haven't tried canned cat food.
2 of my kids tried dog treat bones just last month.
When we were taking care of the in-laws dog... she came with fancy treats in an assortment of flavors. The kids wanted to know if they really were... and if the chicken ones really did taste like chicken.... and the bacon 1 really like bacon.
(the 15 and 12 year olds BTW)

Bake some chocolate chip cookies before the Shot!Well today's been sucky. I told DH about 2 pm that I wanted to git a reset switch, go back to bed go to sleep and wake up again.
Storm woke us up about 1:30 this morning. Doggo with DM doesn't like storms so he was shuffling around looking for a place to hide that he could get to. Buck didn't like him doing that and started barking at him like he was yelling 'WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU? IT'S ONLY THUNDER! GEEZE DUDE! GROW A PAIR! NO I WILL NOT LET YOU HIDE UNDER THE UTILITY SINK!"
That went on for about 20 minutes until DM Doggo found a closet that Buck was okay with him hiding in. I woke up to DH telling me that he had found chairs pulled out from the dining room table. My purse was on one of the chairs and 'you'd better check it over'. Not a good way to start the day. Evidently Dingo had gotten tangled up in the handle some how, dragged it off the chair as he shuffled around with Buck yelling at him, My two month old purse was shredded.
I'm funny with purses. I get one I like and I wear the poor thing out. Spend weeks looking for one that screams "ME!" when I have to replace it. I really LIKED this purse. Went on line. Couldn't replace it. Spent much of the morning trying to find a purse I could bond with. Finally found one after 4 hours of searching. Dragged out my last battered purse and crammed my stuff into it till the new one arrives.
In the mean time, it's gray, chilly and rainy outside.
I'd say that tomorrow has got to be better but tomorrow is shot day.....maybe Sunday?
Then you will have a treat ready when you need it and have now energy to bake
I get to work all weekend, which means I got a day off today. Carpe diem. I'm covered in scratches and dirt and am a bit sore.
My town "lost" 3 cemeteries. Well, it lost 4 but I found one a few weeks ago. The town also bought signs a few years back to mark each cemetery and I've been hearing that the sign project isn't done on a monthly basis when the committee meets, and finally I got pushy and said I'd take care of it.
Went out early this morning with an old folk to try and find these last 3. I had located one in the deep woods through google satellite maps, and we got out there first using the GPS coordinates I got from the map. Lots of ravines and steep hills. The second involved knocking on doors and maybe a bit of romping through the woods looking for it (but not finding it). Luckily today was a teacher prep day and kids were home from school. We knocked at one place and the lady's son knew a kid a few doors down who had talked of finding a cemetery. We found the kid and he happily took us out there (he found it looking for a better fishing hole). Weirdly, at the end of his driveway is the base to an obelisk (marked with 2 names of children) that's been there for decades. And it's nowhere near the cemetery. He tells a tale that he heard that it came from a cemetery a few miles up in the next town. There's a story there, hopefully I will find it. The last cemetery we knew was going to be the most difficult, we weren't even sure what road it was on just knew it was almost at the north town line. After about 10 folks, we found a lady who was just coming home from getting her dog groomed who had (now older) boys that used to skate on the pond in the back of the neighborhood and had seen and told stories of the stones. We then found the property owner nearest the pond, and he took us out there.
At least the signs are all up, now, and I've GPSed and satellite mapped the routes to get there and emailed it to the cemetery committee. Shouldn't lose them from here on out.
The driveway obelisk base. (I can tell it is the base of something for 2 big reasons. One the top of the stone is rough, which means it was hidden. Two, and biggest, is the top of the stone has a trench in it. This trench was to pour molten stuff (lead, copper, sulphur mortar) to attach the top part of the stone to the base).
The most difficult to find:

So your basically have taken another job on finding all of these getting them identified
Oh my! Look at that path. Do you take the dog to sniff these places out for you?
Gotta say SCG, you are one DETERMINED lady!
You can't leave us hanging like that Al!! So ... did the boys think they tastes like what they expected? I see some pretty fancy dog treat "bones" at the small grocery store and the farm and yard store. Can't imagine paying that kind of money for a dog treat that will be gone in 1/4 second.2 of my kids tried dog treat bones just last month.

Yeah we only have 27 known cemeteries in the town. Shouldn't be long.
Not to mention each place has broken stones that need tending.
I am very impressed!
We have some Native American cemetary sites that are unmarked and allowed to overgrow, as they are often the targets of "Thieves of Time", grave robbers looking for artifacts to sell
