I need a shot glass

Not for me, for my dogs silly.

I bought some vitamin and mineral supplement for Greta and Georgia, and because it’s liquid the dosage is doled out in teaspoons. 1 teaspoon per 10 pounds of body weight.

Because in my former life I was a bartender I know that one ounce is one shot, and a shot holds 6 teaspoons. So really each of my dogs should be getting two shooters a day, which is far easier and faster than trying to accurately measure out 12 teaspoons. Right?

I feel so clever. The only problem is that I’ve packed away the glasses somewhere and I’m not sure which box would actually contain the shotglasses. Why did I not write the contents of each box on the outside of the boxes? Cleverness gone.

On theĀ  bright side I did find a dosage cup conveniently attached to an unopened bottle of cough syrup. I’m clever again! At least I think I’ll be clever until I need to take some cough syrup.

Greta working on her boneI also bought Greta a nice huge thigh bone at the animal supply store, she’s in heaven.

Greta deserves a treat for being my helper today. While I was sorting and storing fabrics today she kept me company, and when I felt compelled to iron she faithfully kept the cats away from the ironingĀ  board.

Housework is always nicer when I have company.

  1. I just want to say that a shot is 1.68 ounces, not 1 ounce.

  2. If you’re talking weight that might be the case depending on the weight of the liquor, but by volume the standard shot is a pony shot (aka short shot) is marked at one ounce, filled to the brim it might hold almost 1.5 ounces (again by volume.)

  3. i can’t get over the size of that bone. *cough*
