Recipe News: A recipe to comfort your canny canine

From what Aunt Bunny reads these days, today’s dogs are bored. No longer do most herd sheep, dig for badgers or save little boys who’ve fallen into wells on long-running TV series. No, say the doggie experts with disdain, dogs have devolved into mere “companions.”
Well, that’s simple to fix. Like typewriter repairmen and disco dancing instructors who had to update their skills, dogs need new jobs. Aunt Bunny has no doubt that they can learn. They just need to hurry up because of that whole seven-people-years-equal-one-dog-year thing.

Dogs are smart. Aunt Bunny seriously suspects that after she leaves for work, her large, fluffy dog, Dottie, makes herself a pot of coffee, jumps on her MySpace page and snacks on the Lucky Charms that Aunt Bunny has hidden behind the whole-grain cereal on the top shelf. You laugh. Aunt Bunny would not put it past her. Every time Aunt Bunny breaks out the Charms, Dottie follows her room to room relentlessly.

Anyone who’s ever tried to open a cellophane or hard plastic package — especially at the diabolical “tear here” spot — knows that the process is often trying. Not with Big Dottie around. Leave your extra-sharp cheddar cheese or Little Debbie snack cakes or, frankly, even a can of clam sauce on the counter, walk away and consider the job done. Of course, timing is important if you want the stuff inside.

Aunt Bunny’s border collie, Xodar, with a patch over one eye, spotted ear, one blue eye, one brown, and friendly smile — is professionally cute, and he knows it. Wal-Mart could engage him as a greeter. He also can catch toys midair. Aunt Bunny would like to see one of those geezers handing out carts by the automatic doors try that.
