Even Russian Bears Have Better Taste

Seems about right. Many years ago I had a Siberian Husky. Anyone who knows the breed knows they are very smart and strong willed dogs, but are also garbage pits that will eat almost anything, including some downright disgusting stuff. One might say the breed is known for having a cast iron stomach and a teflon anus.

One Sunday morning I made a McDonald’s run (back before I swore off such tripe for my own good) and got sausage and gravy biscuits for breakfast. There was about half a biscuit left with lots of gravy on it yet, and I put it on the floor for the dog. She took one sniff of it -- not even a taste -- then gave me a look that said “you bastard, how dare you present this inedible atrocity to me?” She had a very expressive face, and could convey such things with a look. Then she walked off, and I was forced to throw it in the trash.

I just about busted my gut laughing until I thought about the fact I’d eaten it, and she wouldn’t even consider trying it. That was a teachable moment.
