We gave Smokey – the dog – her very first ice cream cone the other day!
Stop- I KNOW dairy is not good for dogs, please no lectures, it was a teaspoon of ice cream in the bottom of a cone!
She was begging so cutely – she doesn’t whine or cry, she sits and pushes her head into your leg and looks up at you with her big ol’ doggy smile, and I could not resist. I made her the cone and held it out to her. She looked at me like I was insane!
“Can I take that?” she seemed to be asking so I pushed it directly against her nose. She opened her mouth, went to take the cone and stopped, again looking up at me like “Really lady? This is mine?”
I pushed it against her mouth again and told her to take it.
She did.
The next ten minutes were hilarious as she gingerly carried it to her bed, laid down and held it with her front paws and began to devour her cone – Like a HUMAN would!
First she licked out every bit of ice cream, and then she began taking the tiniest nibbles of the top of the cone, and then finally, FINALLY, she crunched down on the bottom.
She was in heaven, and we were in stitches laughing!
