My Hobbie boy loved grits.not just any grits ,they had to be prepared a certain way.you whipped in some cold water and butter before the grits were done and then whipped in more before serving.if you didn't ,he sat there till you did.also liked turnip greens and peach cobbler.One of the best memories I have is Hobbie eating his bowl of grits and a new pup sneaking over to get a bite.he never stopped eating just took a front paw and held her down .she howled but he never stopped eating and she never bothered his bowl of grits again.he wasn't good with other males but loved puppies.
