- When dogs swallow glass...

Dear Friends of Hounds Who Cook,

We dogs made an extraordinary meal that pleased the palates of our relations, so we're writing it out in the next blog for you. Our girl Me would have made changes - and did in the second batch, which is outlined in Elias' notes. This all happened on the day that Eli ate the candy thermometer. I the Gute know better than to eat Glass, but Elias could not resist the candy coating stuck to the outside. He crunched it up and swallowed a little and then thought better of it, or that's when Me came in from shoveling, I'm not sure. She was so taken aback that Elias did not even get punished, as he is supposed to for stealing from the counter. She just gasped and picked up the little pieces from the carpet and the kitchen floor and gasped again. So we each got a can of pumpkin to eat and then had to throw it all up. The pumpkin was to make a funny gelatinousness in our bellies to coat our throats so the glass would not cut us on the way back up. We don't know if it worked. She is Observing us for a day or so more to see. I, for one, did not eat any glass, but she doesn't know that. The problem with Eli is that he is all alpha dog where he thinks and knows that our pack world revolves around him. Which means he doesn't always learn. He just thinks he can do what he wants. I hope she doesn't leave another thermometer out...I don't like throwing up.

Love for now from the Gute.
