Oh no. I’m finally busted.<\/p>\n
The truth is, I am a nibbler and a grazer. As we walk along the street, I constantly look for food. We’re making some progress, my mom says. But every time I’m let loose for a good sniff, she worries that I’ve found a chicken bone (or worse).<\/p>\n
Then there’s the dog park. I eat things that I am not allowed to mention in this blog. Things that, my mom says, are totally not in keeping with my royal image. <\/p>\n
“Utterly gross,” the mom says.<\/p>\n
“Delicious,” I say. <\/p>\n
And once I start to eat, i won’t let go. Even if they yell, squirt or chase. I chew as I run.<\/p>\n
After my last bout with tummy troubles, my wonderful Aunt Sara said, “How about getting Gracie a muzzle? A basket muzzle so she can drink and bark but not eat?”<\/p>\n
My mom asked our vet. “Great idea!” our vet said. <\/p>\n
I’m not thrilled. <\/p>\n
“You won’t get sick as often,” my mom said. “You won’t have to skip meals and eat bland food for days on end.”<\/p>\n
Hmm, We’ll have to see about that. The mom found a pet store that stocks muzzles. It’s about 20 minutes away and she hates to go anywhere so I may have a reprieve. <\/p>\n
