That's what his service dog is for - she'll keep them in line!  But, the
reindeer are easier to store in the off-season - chop 'em down to steaks
and keep them in the freezer ;)

My dog, Cooper, who we figured wouldn't like the cold at all because
he's so lean and has a super short, flat coat (German Shorthair
Pointer,) turns out to be a snow fiend.  It was snowing an hour ago, so
I opened the door to let him out.  He took one look and barreled through
the screen door before I could open it (99% of the time he wouldn't dare
push the screen door open himself - he knows the rules very well.)  He
got out to the middle of the yard, stopped short and looked around
confused, because it was *snowing* but there was no snow on the ground!
  How could this be??

OOP food content: Anybody else here home-cook for their pets?  I recall
that we had a conversation about home-cooking treats a few months ago,
but I don't remember who, if anybody, actually home-cooks regularly.
