@Okanagancook Yup.Terriers present their own set of problems...but I love the beasts.
Henry's predecessor, the sainted Tucker, once ate a bag of uncooked rice off of the counter. Very unhappy few days for the boy. But he was cleansed by the end of it. Two weeks later a whole butternut squash. That one didn't faze him. Henry is more interested in chewing than eating which is a mixed blessing.
First thing to cook? Hmmm. That requires a lot of thought.
