Beer and Ice Cream

If Arwen was a human, she'd easily weigh 370 lbs.  Her favorite foods are beer and ice cream.  (And yes, I think Guinness can be considered a food.)  She finds the best seat in the house and can usually be seen curled on her back with all four paws in the air.  She's a glutton that slurps up any crumbs, spills, and drops left over on the kitchen floor.  She will lay beneath our feet while we eat and stare longingly at our food and hands.  If she had the power of telekinesis, all our food would launch itself out of our hands and into her gaping mouth as by catapult!

Insert noms here

We discovered the magical hold beer and ice cream have over Arwen very much by accident.  Ice cream she discovered on her own as she leaned closer and closer to my spoon while I ate distractedly.  Beer was a spill she managed to handle faster and more efficiently than you could say "paper towels!".  Now lest you think we're horrible eaters with nothing but junk in our fridge, let me tell you what else we've discovered about Arwen's foodie nature.  There are other things she won't turn down - fresh spinach, peas, sandwich bread (any bread, really), crabmeat wontons (absolute accident), wine, any fish, a mouse (we were feeding a frozen thawed mouse to our snake years ago - yes, really) and a bird (caught straight out of the air- quite impressive, really).

Arwen is an equal opportunity scrounge in every sense of the word.  And did I mention begging is a regular part of her repertoire?


       See that I'm a poor hungry dog?  I haven't eaten in at least 20 minutes!
