Dog Biscuit Memories
In which I embark on a moving trip down memory lane, sparked by this post about avian home invasions and toddler eating (or not) habits by Trish at My Little Drummer Boys.
Do you remember when milk came in bottles? I do.
I just remembered it, because I just remembered the Luv dog biscuits I used to secretly eat from our two dogs’ bowls and the box that was kept on a shelf in their kennel.
That was when I was younger, of course.
They don’t make that type of dog biscuit anymore.
They were something special and looked a bit like the one in the above image, only smaller and in different shapes. And the colours weren’t the same. But still a bit like that one, sortof.
~ But nowhere on the web~according~to~Google could I find an image of them!
I thought it was amazing how they came in all types of shapes, sizes and colours. So you could eat according to your mood.
A bit bored and looking for some action? Try one of the red heart~shaped ones.
Feeling a bit down~in~the~mouth? How about a yellow triangle for some lithium~yellow therapy?
Never was sure what they were meant to be. Cheese maybe?
They didn’t taste like cheese…
And then I remembered the white milk bottle ones. I think they had added calcium or something. They were definitely my favourite. I know I’ve only ever had one broken bone, and that was just a fracture.
Hey! If only they still made these biscuits, I could go on television and reveal the cure for osteoarthritis.
So that’s when I remembered that I remember when milk came in bottles.
Interesting thought process, huh?
So now I’m thinking how sad it is that you can’t trust anyone enough to leave money out for milk.
If they delivered it around here still.
Which they don’t.
I know you’ve always thought I’m weird.
Now you have written proof.
It is weird what kids will eat. Apparently I picked up chewing gum of the footpath and ate it when I was about 6! (eewwwwww!!!)
BTW - All my technical troubles are over finally and to celebrate my 100th post I have a free e-book to download that you might be interested in called Planning With Kids Top 100 Tips.

Hi Nicole, did you just give your blog a facelift? Neat! ~And very efficient looking.
I hate to think what that gum tasted like. Mmmm, gritty and chewy at the same time…lol
Thanks for letting me know about your free e~book. I really need those tips on making school mornings easier. ~I’ll let you know how we go.
Hi, thanks for asking about TB’s legs, I wish I could say he’s totally on the mend but I am calling the dr for a new appt. He still has a lot of pain and seems to be retaining even more fluid than usual
On the up side, though, your post brought back nice memories. I remember milk in bottles! I don’t remember trying out the dog biscuits but I’m sure I did. Anyway, we also used to get fresh bread deliveries and the “Doogan” man (we called him) also brought us our pies, rolls, donuts and cakes. Boy, those were the days!

Sorry to hear that Cassie, hope things are looking up soon for him. Tell him I’ll be thinking about his legs over the weekend ~that should cheer him up…
LOL I do remember those LUV biscuits - it wasn’ t that long ago you could still get them. I really liked the shapes and colours too … not that I remember eating them.
I remember when milk came in bottles too.
My parents still had milk delivered until last 3 years … the milko had an account - they only settled monthly.

Really?
You mean I could have been eating them for morning tea still?
And sharing them with the kids?
Damn!
That is quite a stream of consciousness going there:)
I never tested out any of my dogs food when I was young, though she loved to eat my gum drops and ice cream:)
Lol….I wonder if you used to eat it after she’d had a lick?
:O) Love the story…thanks for linking up at blogcarnival! I also do a Mr Linky linkage on my blog - Mommy Always Wins - stop by and play again!
