Today's Canine Antics

A good Manhattan requires a pickled mushroom as garnish. Cherries are for girly men. I pickle my own by putting white vinegar and pickling spices in a Ball jar and drop in canned mushrooms. As I was pickling my mushrooms today, one got away. Gumdrop the Goof (the one parti-colored Cocker Spaniel we have)snagged it and rather than bolting it down, savored it in front of the other three Cocker Spaniels (Pumpkin, Pie, and the visiting Tori.) I suspect canned mushrooms are the only thing this dog will not quickly swallow. Interesting.
