[Gpdd] Care: corn on the cob

[Algernon07 at aol.com]

Hi --
     My piggies don't get it often, but several times a year they get to 
share an ear. I strip off the very outer leaves and the brown part of the tassle 
then thoroughly rinse what's left, cut thru the husks and then the ear easily 
breaks there. So both the Jolly Rodents get a bit of everything-- husk, corn 
silk and the corn itself, which they LOVE.
     I'm convinced that the kernels of corn do no harm if offered in 
moderation.

     Ebeneezer WoollyBear left for the Bridge on a Monday (in 2004). I knew 
that I was going to take him to the vet's the next A.M. and have him euthanized 
in order to prevent further misery for the little guy. I had a couple fresh 
ears of corn in the fridge at the time and I STILL regret not giving him a 
partial or even entire ear that Sunday. It would have been such a little thing but 
I think it would have helped him be distracted from his pain in what were to 
be his last hours.
