Pony Loves Lattes

Heard from Susan:

On Friday I stopped at the feed store and bought a 50# sack of alfalfa pellets to spread around the base of the roses.  When I got home I popped in the house, made myself a latte, and then went back out to start scooping pellets.  I turned around to look at what I had done, and there was Pony greedily chomping down green alfalfa pellets.  I shooed her off ineffectually and went on with what I was doing, and a few minutes later turned around to see her washing down her pellets with the latte I had left sitting on a log…..microfoam all over her upper lip.    And again this morning I made a latte, went out to do my wander through the yard work, turned back and found my favorite second girl puppy lapping up MY latte.  Bad doggie !!! :-))))))   And after I picked it up she kept following me around in an uncharacteristic fashion that I now suspect was her way of waiting for me to put it back down where she could reach it….
