Chewer

Dorothy is just about coping with Roger’s wayward ways 

I went to stock up on “ funeral food” for tomorrow and wish I hadn’t. 
It was worse than bloody Christmas and Tesco’s was packed.
I got my nibbles, bought faggots in gravy for my tea and added pigs ears to my final items.
Roger needs to chew on something.

The new man in my life is a chewer and a hoarder, only this morning I ventured into his crate to find the following items hidden under his bedding

1 hairbrush
1 flip flop
1 small plastic container of olive tapenade
2 pencils
One sock 
I chewed plastic clothes peg
And oddly the red cloth lobster given to me by Mrs Trellis but with its antenna chewed off

  5. I was thinking you'd headed off to join the Queue in person! Had o look up faggots and gravy: "Faggots are meatballs made from minced off-cuts and offal, especially pork (traditionally pig's heart, liver, and fatty belly meat or bacon)"---hmmmm.

  6. Well, I had to Google your "faggots in gravy" to discover what the heck that is! Sounds as bad as "spotted dicks" ... 😞
    Do try to keep plenty of chew toys available for Roger to gnaw on rather then the articles you found in his cage. Praise him when he chews on the proper things! He will learn eventually!

    1. Faggots have to be seasoned properly to be lovely. Traditionally they are the food of the poor

  8. Puppy chewing is challenging. My Caesar managed to get in to a closet and grab a pair of snake skin shoes and destroy one. He also had a preference for mahogany wood trim throughout my house. These are just the most damaging acts of chewing; there were many more. Today he's fine. That said, I do not leave shoes around...just in case.

    Hope all of the small inviting items can be put UP high where they cannot be reached and chewed up. That advice was met with "BUt UP is FULL!" from a friend with a new puppy.
    Bother about the crowds at Tesco.

    Hugs!

    The panic buying for one day of closure is crazy.

    oh Roger! he is not disappointing me with his puppy antics! I kept thinking how *mild and good* of a pup he was (especially for a terrier) since you brought him home......now he is developing into a pretty *normal* pup with eclectic *favorite* things!

  18. We shall be sitting down and watching Her Majesty's funeral ..... what an historical event. I was two when she ascended the throne so she has been a constant throughout my life. I'm sure that Roger is gathering his comfort items to have around him as he watches the historical events unfold ! XXXX

  20. I baked a beautiful cake - Then generously took a slice to the person upstairs - Ungraciously they did not appreciate my efforts so I slung it out of the window - My Rex surprised but grateful picked it up with his mouth and carefully took it and buried for later x 🍰

  21. If you leave your dirty socks on the floor, at least you'll know where to find them.
