Jake's Progress

The adventures of a lurcher in the Scottish capital


Gravy bones spree




I have to admire Jake. This morning, while we were out, he finally worked out how to

a) reach up to the shelf in the utility room where his treat stash is kept
b) pull/knock down the large tub of gravy bones
c) eat 1 kilo of gravy bones.

So we came home to find a snake that had swallowed an ostrich egg, sorry, one very sleepy lurcher with a suspiciously bulging gut. Several sedate walks have followed. That kilo of gravy bones has to go somewhere.



There was no tea for Jake this evening. And he hasn't even noticed.

"What do you mean, I'm not allowed on this chair?"



"Ha! That's what I think of that!"

Lurchers! Not in the mood to eat your breakfast immediately? Why not take advantage of Gussie's extreme distraction & sneak that hunk of raw lamb upstairs to your people's bedroom? Stash it between the bedcovers! They'll never notice!

What's that? That very afternoon you were spirited away to Dear Chum Molly's house? For a weekend? Egad! Still, when you all got back home from your various weekends away late on Sunday night, the raw lamb was still there. It might have seeped a bit, but nothing to worry about. You checked the minute you got in the house, though your people didn't understand your sudden fascination with their bed.

They worked it out in the morning when they got up & threw back the covers. Phew! Wot a stinker!
