Very bad dog! 🐶

Gosh! I'm glad we haven't a dog. What naughty boys (and girls). Mind you our doorbell went one day and it was a neighbour. She snippily handed over a salmon saying, 'That cat of yours has had half of it you might as well have the rest!!' 🙀

Aveline, my mother had a part Siamese cat. They lived on an unadapted road with 8 houses. Neighbours all had to get containers because she took the lid off milk bottles and ate the cream. She once arrived through the open kitchen window with a cooked leg of lamb she’d stolen from a neighbour. She also walked with mum and her dog. A local farmer once suggested mum might have witchcraft powers - you’re that woman who walks a black cat aren’t you. He said

My experience is cats are much cleverer than dogs. They’re also totally focussed on their own needs. Most dogs want to please their people. Even if they’re a work in progress like my young lab

Not sure if anyone else has mentioned there is an online calculator where you put how many grams of which type of chocolate they have eaten and the weight of your dog. It then tells you to what extent they may have had a toxic dose. The darker the chocolate the smaller the amount and obviously the smaller the dog the less they can safely eat. Obviously I wouldn't deliberately let them have chocolate, but mine have caught me off guard in the past and decided, using the calculator, that no action apart from close observation required x

Mine was a little pug cross puppy and ate a huge Easter egg. Labradors actually have genes which make them forever hungry, poor things. When crossed with poodles they are often fussy and not at all greedy.
