I just love this Veggietales song. Cracks me up hearing Mr. Lunt sing about a cheeseburger. So, I thought this song only appropriate when you see the pics below.

Our dog, Al {albert} is not allowed to have any people food, except if he is lucky and gets the occasional dropped morsel and we can't get to it faster than he {he has a mean blitz}. It's hard at times when you see those little puppy dog eyes looking up at you as Al sits patiently hoping, just hoping for one tiny crumb. Can't help but smile. Needless to say, he is my fairly constant companion in the kitchen whenever I am making something.

A couple weeks ago, we were at AZ Mills (no Al did not get to go - he can't be classified as a seeing eye dog for some reason1?!) and decided we were going to go into the pet store. Lo and behold what do my eyes see....puppy treats that look like the REAL thing ~ cookies, pizza, steak, etc. So, what's this mommy to do but to buy her puppy{son} a CHEESEBURGER!!

When we brought home his treat, he had to do the "normal" and sit and shake for his treat, which he did; and, then we gave him his cheeseburger. It was the FUNNIEST thing to see Al with his cheeseburger. He was VERY protective of it. He even went as far as to run up the stairs so no one would steal his cheeseburger (ahem, do you think we really would want to?) He even ran around carrying the silly thing in his mouth and "looking over his shoulder" so no one could take it. It was too funny! The life of a little dog!!

THE CHEESEBURGER (doesn't it look delicious?!)
