A friend once told me that the game Otello is “very moreish”. I replied, “Moorish sounds appropriate for something called Otello.” She laughed and said that her pun had been an unintentional one.
That’s the trouble with biscuits/cookies, they have that taste that says “have some more”. Digestive biscuits are tasty, so I don’t blame Fred having another go, but he’d better remember to lick the crumbs off his chops. Not good to leave incriminating evidence upon oneself dear Fred.
Quite. I had taken a savoury scone with me to watch some tv last night and before the first commercial the youngest dog had scarfed it up and did not even have a remorseful face when I questioned her about it. Her parents are training her all too well.
Made the mistake of leaving a loaf of bread in the plastic bag on a table. The always hungry Samoyed [nicknamed Miss Piggy] got most of it, including some plastic bag, which was found a day later, when cleaning up after her..
I was eating some Herseys miniature candy bars one afternoon, tending to leave the dark chocolate ones in the bag, and got called off to work. Returned to find that my dachshund had gotten the bag of of the end table and had eaten all of the remaining dark chocolate bars, about 5-6.
Freaked out, and did a rapid internet search on dark chocolate and dogs, knowing that the darker the chocolate, the more of the harmful substance was in it.
Imagine my relief when I saw the numbers and calculated that she would have had to eat around 13.5 ounces of the tiny bars in order to hit the critical level that would have either made her very sick, and/or caused her death.
Needless to say, both of my dogs now know that when I say “no, it’s chocolate”, that they aren’t getting even a tidbit.
Which is also why I don’t panic if I accidentally drop a bit of chocolate on the floor. Especially if it’s milk chocolate.

Hopefully, none have chocolate chips in them.

Our dog would never take food from the kitchen table or dig in the trash. Food on the end table, however, is fair game.

I sat my hot tea down on the end table next to my chair, much like the cookies. Came back a few minutes later to find it half empty. Dachshunditis…
