Now we have 20 jars of the sauce around, well worth it I'd say.
Lou likes to eat. And she doesn't discriminate. Squirrels, birds, mice, rats, moles, chickens. I know she'd eat a raccoon if she could just get her paws on one. And it's not all fauna for this girl. Some other favorite treats include blackberries, carrots, chestnuts and apples.
There really is nothing better than to race the truck to the farm stand. Gets 'em going every time.
