Food for thought.

โ€ข38 Replies

When I'm walking with my dog

And she sees a scrap that's edible

She'll eat it up with relish and

You wouldn't think that credible

Because when we are back home again

And she looks what's on her plate

She won't go anywhere near it

Unless the food on there's top rate.

You can tell from the intelligent look that Midge is waiting for a little bit of whatโ€™s on your plate ๐Ÿ˜Š

She has her tastes I have mine.

But both think fish and chips are fine. ๐Ÿ˜

My dog Bella is the same, and you just try getting stuff off her before she eats it.

Good morning Mr.D and you've given us a double wammy today.... A terrific photo of Midge,showing of her best features AND a rhyme!

I've got the feeling that today's going to be a good day!

Well that's always good to know but "righteous" ๐Ÿ˜‚ , I'm not too sure on that one but will gladly take it,lol !(another plus point to put in my autobiography ๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜œ).

โ€ข in reply toSquirrelsHolt

I'm sure your book will be a hit

If you leave in the naughty bit. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Mr.D I love the way you were being so tactful and only used the singular "naughty bit"...... because I know its hard to believe,but in my younger years I partied very hard,lol! By the time I'd reached the grand old age of 5, I was a well known party animal!!(squirrel obviously).

So, I think I may just make it "naughty bits"!!

What a lovely photo of her Cap'n and a great verse - can I pop my PR cap on and offer a suggestion - 'she looks' would be so much better if it read 'she inspects what's on' - just my little thought for the day :-) x

Iโ€™m sure you are right Margaret, but my memory is so bad now that by the time iโ€™ve scrolled back to edit it Iโ€™ll have forgotten what you suggested. Thereโ€™s also the danger that if my stuff is so perfect, people will start thinking someone else wrote it.๐Ÿค”

Ahh so you want to produce something like a Persian carpet . . . . . ?

โ€ข in reply tomajji

I just wanted to write a little poem Margaret, how did I get mixed up in producing Persian carpets? I think I'll go and lie down.

Lotsalols Cap'n - Persian carpets are always or often made with a mistake in them - see orientalrugexperts.com/deli... - I hope you are enjoying your moment of inertia ;-)

โ€ข in reply tomajji

Well! I'll go the back of our shed! (A popular northern expression.)

Are you going to lie down in there too? I am about to do the same - not in your shed though as I doubt I could find it in the dark . . . Good night Cap'n et al . . .

โ€ข in reply tomajji

The last time I spent that much time behind a shed I had a flimsy packet of five Wild Woodbines with me. Something I greatly regret now, exciting though it was at the time.๐Ÿ˜Ÿ

Scruff's and Midge are much the same

Their fussiness drive us insane

I am worried that look upn Midge's face

Means you are not in her good grace?

Until the next plateful i imagine! X

โ€ข in reply toskischool

Neither seem to give a toss

Because they think that they're the boss.

Perhaps we should be more strict

Until this habit has been kicked.

Manipulative Midge I have no doubt

Can sit right down and stare you out

She doesnโ€™t want whatโ€™s on her plate

So hurry Don before itโ€™s late

Buy her something nice to eat

Chocolate buttons for a treat!

(For her and you)

Love

Corin

Quite right, but itโ€™s often a case of who sees it first.

๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ˜ƒ You never fail dear Don. Reminds me of the time my late Muffin retreaved a sausage outside Asda and little lad had lost from his hot dog. He looked like Winston Churchill with his cigar. Muffin was a long haired 57 and looked a bit like your handsome boy.

It is just a case of "the grass is always greener", she is lovely.

It was bad enough having a phone that is smarter than me. Now I've developed a dog the same. ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

Typical dog! I love the look she is giving you - definitely disapproving. Have you offered her the very best dog food when she would have preferred the best steak?

โ€ข in reply toCarnival567

I've been having problems with her recently. She was always wanting what I had, even though what she had in her dish was better than I was having (I cook for myself ๐Ÿ™„). I now have to finish mine, wash up, put everything away, so that there is absolutely no chance of any scraps, left-overs or food dropped on floor. Then she will eat hers. It's ridiculous and not always convenient, but I realise it is a problem of my own making.

That's exactly what I have to do Don or there's no chance of her eating hers ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธXxx

She looks a bit sheepish Don like she knows you are talking about her.

โ€ข in reply tojoyce74

That is her โ€˜What are you up toโ€™ look, which has an element of โ€˜Youโ€™d better get it rightโ€™. We are in the campervan having done various new things that day.๐Ÿ˜‰
