OFF TOPIC - old dog losing its mind

[Larry Reese]

We have an old dog; all outdoors, she doesn't come inside. Really great demeanor, friendly and smart; very obedient of voice commands. Well, over the last few weeks she's been displaying signs of senility or something.

A few weeks back she took raw chicken off a platter of fajitas I was about to grill and started gnawing on it, twice. Once after having been reprimanded the first time (never EVER done that kind of thing before).

Never been one to chase cats or the like, like I said, placid, but still isn't wont to let others (like birds) scarf from her food bowl. The last week or so she's let this neighborhood cat come and eat out of her dish while she concentrates on eating birdseed. In case you guys are wondering, birdseed doesn't meet all a dog's nutritional requirements.

Weird.

Peace out.
