We like beef jerky here at Chez Shirk. We all seem to like it.
Even the d-thing can smell it coming from a mile away and is waiting
at the door when the groceries come in the house. So, we have been
killing time while keeping Rob entertained by visiting Gander
Mountain, a chain outdoor sports store. Among other goodies, I
discover a glasses cleaner called "Cat Crap." I also discover
something wonderful. JERKY!!!! So I buy three bags of it as we've
never had this brand before and it comes in multiple flavors.

We bring it home and Rob hides it on his side of the bed. The next
day, he opens up a bag and offers me a piece. Wonderful. Tastes as
good as it smells and it smells great. We each have a couple of
pieces of jerky while sharing another couple of pieces among the
five cats that have suddenly shown up on the bed looking for
handouts. Merlin and Huey are especially insistent on us paying the
share toll. Rob then seals the bag up and hides it again. Later
that day, Rob comes into the room to take a nap and finds. . .

A torn open bag of jerky with only one small piece and some crumbs
left in it. Merlin and Huey fight over the left over piece and the
loser, Merlin, cleans the crumbs from the bag, after I open the bag
up further so that Merlin won't have to run around with a plastic
bag on his head, which he seemed quite willing to do. The other
cats looked on enviously while Rob checked out the other bags in
their hiding spot. I suspect that at least one of them has marked
where the good stuff is hidden so that they can have another treat
when we aren't in the room.

Pam S. who is thinking of buying a jerky safe.


We never have to hide the jerky around here.








It never lasts that long. Kids always wipe it out, no matter how
little or how much while putting the groceries away.

Have I mentioned I never have trouble getting the kids to bring in the
groceries and put them away?

He who stashes knows where the good stuff is.
