A hotdog by any other name would taste as sweet?

A visit from our friend Ash proved interesting last night.

David was outside doing yard work and our dogs were on the porch resting when Ash strolled up the driveway. David went inside to get his hotdogs while he sat and waited.

Since the dogs were outside on the porch we would think that Ash would have run away and come back when dining was more- quiet. But alas, he stayed.

And since the dogs were on the porch and a fox was in the driveway you think that the dogs would freak out over that "weird red kitty cat thing who has a dish we can't reach." But alas, they didn't.

It seems in the matter of hotdog importance, the animals united in a unspoken unity.

Ash was not shy, but timid in reaching his dinner out of David's hands while in the driveway. And the dogs let out a quiet whimper in the inability to share the other end of the hotdog with this "weird red kitty cat thing," because of the gate blocking them on the porch. It seems as if they had no barriers between them, these two species would unite, dine casually, and chat of the quality of such a fine Walmart hotdog. The barriers of different animals species have no power when it comes to such a meal. Uniting over a common love.....should we be so smart?
