When I was twelve we got a Boxer dog-I want with my grandmother to the nearby Food Fair-across City Line. She went to the non-kosher meat department to ask about meat for the  dog-some members of Har Zion saw her and made comments about Mrs. Satinsky buying non-kosher meat. From then on the dog got only canned dog food.

Another one-in very religious families is you mix meat and milk silverware you are to bury the mixed piece for 72 hours in the ground to make it kosher again-my grandmother was always looking in the garden as she did not always remember where she buried the silverware. We finally got her potted plants so she could bury them there. Memories.
