In this special situation, I can't think of any reason not to continue". These aren't competition dogs so there is absolutely no reason to wean them off the reward. As Martha would say; "Random is a good thing". Yep. It's not 100%, but it's way up there. These are very happy elderly dogs I have almost glued to me. Even when I shake them off and walk a few feet away, they look at me (well, my bait bag) approximately every 20 seconds. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA This was a huge success.

I sure could do with a little something to tide me over. NOW is it supper time? Or we could just have some of those Zuke's. It MUST be supper time now."

That incredible food drive helps to make up for a slight, shall we say, shortage in the brain department, as compared to the pointy-ears ......

No, of course not. No bulb. But food drive makes them BRILLIANT! And thank goodness for that noble handsomeness ..... that regal profile ..... that je ne sais quoi in the looks department .... (despite certain people on this very board who think they are "hilarious" looking!) ....
