Pig ears

It is finally official: my dad is in the wrong line of work.

I've seen pig ears being sold in all the upscale pet food stores and on pet websites. Yes, they're real pig ears: smoked and vaccum-packed. The things sell for like $1.50 apiece (not a pair--a piece).

This afternoon we were in Harris Teeter (a grocery store out here) buying food for dinner and decided to buy a pig ear for good ole Lucy. She really likes rawhide bones but let's just say they affect her digestion. So we thought pig ears might be a good choice. We support those hog farmers however we can!

To say that Lucy loved it would be an understatement. It kept her occupied for 45 minutes and she gnawed on it until it was gone. I'm hoping that dad can talk to his butcher and smoke me up some pig ears when we come home this summer. Daniel's dog Otis might like them too!
