This is way too funny…o.k. quick story.
Amanda was trying to find me a present for Christmas and she found a great del on a huge bag of beef jerky…..she showed her dad and he couldn’t stop laughing….finally he was able to tell her to look more carefully and with a magnifier at her website….she did and apparently there was a cute dog pictured on the bag…yes dog treats and not human ones.
