Tea? (Part 2)

[coffeejo]

Not sure what's the most extreme thing I gave to the dog.
Certainly she liked the trimmings off steak or other meat, if I was neatening some up or getting bits of fat off.
And she loved cheese.

Ah, yes, cheese. I refuse to buy cheese. A sliver here, a sliver there and the whole block's mysteriously vanished in ten minutes. And yes, that's me, not the dog.

She also likes plums (to the point where she's learnt to pick them from the tree), cherries and greengages. And peas. (And grapes but she's not allowed them.)

My boy cat likes a lick of what's left after a chilli and rice meal

Remind us what he's called...

 

[TheDoctor]

Actually, since she was (mostly) a Lab, it'd be quicker to tell you what she didn't eat!

There you go. That was it.
Why do dogs love poppadoms? They can hardly be a natural part of the doggie diet...

 

[coffeejo]

Why do they like cat poo?

 

[TheDoctor]

Eeew.
I still wince at the time she found, and rolled in, fox poo.
I have never smelled anything quite so horrid...

You might like it - that's more than I did.
Almost put me off my cake.

Badger dung is much worse. I've got quite good at spotting when she about to roll and the volume of my roar is enough to penetrate even her stubborn skull. Perhaps because she knows what will happen....

Considering she'll splish splash in any body of water, from the shallowest of puddles to the sea in conditions so cold that even the rock pools have frozen over, anything involving the bath or hosepipe is pure torture.

 

[TheDoctor]

That too I have never understood.
They love ponds, rivers, lakes and the sea, so what's wrong with a nice warm bath and some shampoo?
The way they look at you...

Things are getting worse, rather than better! I was persuaded that buying a pack of plain chocolate wholemeal digestive biscuits was 'better' than buying bars of chocolate. Later on, I looked at the label - 87 calories per biscuit - yikes! (I scoffed 8 before sending the rest of the packet away with the foul temptress my friend!

This has all come about because she decided to give up her TV when we had the digital switchover here last year. As a result, she comes round and watches my TV instead. (I get to buy the biscuits/chocolate, make the tea and pay the TV licence fee! )

Shall I keep quiet about the slow-cooked belly pork?

It's probably for the best.

How long have you been working in the care home Doc?

 

[TheDoctor]

Youve

How long have you been working in the care home Doc?

You've met my work colleagues, then?
