Chuck Wagon

Dropped off a whole bag of food for the strays to munch on while I'm away for Christmas weekend. I have a dog bowl near the Momma dog's den, and put canned food in it twice a day. This morning I poured in two cans full since I'll be out of town...she'll have to get by on the dry food the rest of the weekend. She was nowhere in site, so I took a flashlight and tried to peek way back under the rubble to see the puppies. Couldn't see them, but heard a few puppy grunts when I flashed the light...so sounds like all's well. Was a little concerned that I didn't see Momma dog at last night's feeding and same for this morning. When I was returning to my car after dropping the bag of kibble off, I looked up and saw her high-tailing it toward me. She must have been across the street at the construction site, shmoozing food, and saw the "Chuck Wagon" (my SUV) making a delivery. Was happy to see me, but went right for the food rather than let me pet her.
