Give me the Jerky and no one gets hurt
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. Jo |

That's funny.... Woodgie wouldn't think of stooping to eat people food anymore. Apparently she's been brainwashed by her cat food... :-) ^..^ Kathy and Woodgie |

Not the point of your post, but I have to wonder what genius came up with this particular name for that product. scratching head -- Joyce ^..^ (To email me, remove the X's from my user name.) |

While staying at a cabin with a bunch of friends I broke out two packs of jerky. One for me and the boys, one for the dog (the best trained lab you ever saw). Dog-owner-pal says she wont go crazy for that. I just chuckled. In seconds the dog was ON the table begging for jerky. "I am sorry; were you saying something" I replied. |

"I am sorry; were you saying something" I replied. Kayla is extremely good with the command 'that isn't yours'. But I'm not sure I'd want to try it with jerky. She has obeyed the command at the park from the first time I said it. Something that just clicked for her. Yesterday and today we have been reinforcing 'go lay down' since it is far too hot and smoky for even the dog and cats to be outside. 103f today. 111f tomorrow. And I don't know where the latest fires are, but I passed a line of forest service fire trucks when I went to the store. Jo |
