They can be so funny

All my previous dogs have enjoyed eating apple cores, and when I lived in the country with apple-bearing trees, it was common to see them out with the horses snacking off windfalls in the autumn.

Taenzer, however, if given an apple core, gets this "er, thanks, but what am I supposed to do with it" expression and gently deposits it in a quiet corner as soon as she can manage it, so I've stopped offering them to her.

Imagine my surprise this evening when I tossed my apple core toward the fence. It didn't quite clear and bounced back into the yard, and boy howdy, she thought that was a great treat! I guess it must need that dirt seasoning to make it really yummy.
