Puggle Refuses to Eat Owner's Cooking

So there was this big, fat roach in my house. I managed to wing it with something heavy, so it couldn't really get away, but I didn't want to pick it up. Louie, my puggle, is the solution to many of my biological disposal needs, and I didn't see why this should be any different. After calling his attention to the still twitching roach, however, he didn't seem interested. Amazed that he was passing *any* opportunity to ingest something, well, *organic*, I decided that maybe it needed some garnish to whet the palette! I retrieved the honey, dribbled on a few drops, then called him back over.

He *still* wouldn't eat it!

Eventually I had to pick it up with a paper towel, honey and all, and throw it away.

LOL poor Louie! I can't believe you tried to get that sweet baby to eat a roach....that's just wrong, man! Now a June Bug, that would have been totally different, I've had several dogs that loved those. :)

While his taste is obviously atrocious, it evidently exists. I didn't check the sex of the roach, but females have this really awful pheromone powder on the two pointy things on their ass that smells *really* bad and is almost impossible to remove from skin.

I wouldn't have eaten it, either.

Your subject heading sounds like an Onion headline.

I often think in terms of Onion headlines, so I'll consider that a compliment.

Definitely an amusing lens through which to view the world.
