Trust me, BillyPorter,
You REALLY don't want to do that. :smily:
I tasted them once totally by accident, and I thought I would NEVER get that awful taste out of my mouth. Bleh! Yuck! Puey!
Widget loves them, but, seriously, they were NASTY.
It happened one night about 2yrs ago. I was going through a period where I just could not sleep at night, so I took 1/2 of an Ambien to try to get my sleep cycle back on track. Widget sleeps in/on a puff ball type doggie bed on the opposite bottom corner of my bed. Widget is a Maltese, just 5lbs, so a tiny fella who doesn't take up much space. I usually keep a ziploc bag with a few of Widget's treats in a drawer in the nightstand, but that night for some reason I left the zip bag on bed, on the side I don't use.
The Ambien put me to sleep right away, but after a few hours I awoke, well, kind of. I was in this sort of groggy state somewhere between wake and sleep. I opened my eyes, saw the 'cookies' on the other side of the bed, and thought, "Yum!" Completely oblivious to the facts concerning their true identity, I was just thrilled to find that I had cookies. I sat up in bed, grabbed a cookie, took a bite, started chewing, and eeeewww!!! That really woke me up, because they were SO nasty. I spit that bite out, but it took a day or so to get that taste out of my mouth, and weeks to get it out of my head. (I make sure to keep his treats in the drawer now.)
