Different dog
Yesterday, Pebbles was a different dog. On Wednesday her ‘Bitey McBiteface’ nickname was well earned. Mum couldn’t do a thing with her and by the end of the day didn’t know which way to turn. Yesterday morning the dog who got out of Pebbles’ bed was a mild mannered, adorable Puppy who was happy to do whatever Mum wanted. Actually, it went even further than that. On Wednesday Pebbles didn’t so much as want to sit down, let alone lie down and rest during the day. Yesterday, she happily lay quietly at Mum’s side for a nap every hour or so. I guess she may have been having a growing day, but it did give Mum some hope that things will get better.
Filled Kongs
Pebbles didn’t take to having Kongs filled with banana and kibble and so generally left them for me. Mum had all but given up, but Pebbles trainer suggested making them meaty. Now, Mum has spent more on treats for Pebbles than is sensible for anyone and the thought of starting to buy meat to fill Kong toys didn’t make her happy, but then she had a thought. For one thing, Dad has gone away for work and there are some yoghurts which will be out of date before he comes back. Mum has checked they don’t have any ingredients which are unsafe for dogs. Then she looked in the cupboard for something to mix with it.
Tinned meat
On the whole tinned food is fine for a long time, or so Mum tells me. However, Mum is unlikely to serve out of date tins to her human guests. That’s where we come in. Anyone who is prepared to eat fox poo and drink out of rancid puddles, is not going to complain about a slightly out of date tine of meat. Mum mixed the honey yoghurt with a small tin of chicken in jelly. Now we are both happy dogs and frozen Kongs are firmly back on the menu. Thankfully, there were a couple of tins of chicken and a couple of ham – all out of date. I’m not sure what happens when they run out, but the cupboard is quite big, so there may be something else lurking at the back.
Love and licks
