DOGS AND BACON

I save bacon grease to drizzle over the dogs dry food so that they will have shiny, healthy coats and skin. I know the professionals don't recommend that, but my aunts and uncles, who live on farms, swear by the practice and they have always had gorgeous hounds.

I fill up their bowls, heat up the grease, and pour it generously over the brown, crunchy stuff. Forgetting that the bacon grease is still hot, I set the bowl's on the floor and call Dakota and Diesel. They come running up and dig in, stopping abruptly. They back slowly away from the food and start barking at the bowls.

Sorry doggies, a little to warm for your canine palates.
