A useful line of work!

[Tax-chick]

Heh, good one!

Cat-and-dog pictures always make me think of Jake with the late Ash ... co-conspirators in meat-snatching.

[CatherineofAragon]

I love it when they work together, LOL.

[Tax-chick]

They were so cute. You’d hear “Mao!” behind you, and turn around to find Ash’s teeth at your elbow.

[CatherineofAragon]

LOL!

[Tax-chick]

And while you were startled, SNAP!, the meat’s off the cutting board and on the floor with both carnivorous mammals slavering on it. (I occasionally washed it, cooked it, and didn’t mention it.)

[CatherineofAragon]

Well, you know, heat kills germs, LOL.

My sister-in-law and her husband had a German Shepherd. He liked to nose around in the trash after dinner was over. SIL said they would be sitting in the living room and hear furtive rustling around. One of them would raise their voice slightly and say, “DROP IT.” Then, a moment later, you’d hear a *plop*.

[Tax-chick]

We keep the trash in a closet to keep both pets and children out.

Several decades ago, before Son #1 was born we had a cat named Titus. (We had him for many years after that also, but this story concerns the mentioned time frame.) He fancied that he was a human and had his own place at the table. At food time he would hop on his chair and wait patiently for morsels to appear on his plate. He particularly appreciated steak, medium rare, lightly salted (they say cats cannot taste salt, but he wouldn't touch it unless it was lightly salted...) We would cut up the steak into small cubes/bits and place it in front of him where he would take his paw-device with the retractable tine-things, spear a piece of meat, and plop it into his mouth and chew contentedly. Or should that be gnaw..

It was... interesting to watch. ;-)

[Tax-chick]

I’ll bet it was. Jake sometimes lies near the food dish, dipping bits out with his paw and pulling them to where he can reach them by moving only his head.

[CatherineofAragon]

Yep, good idea...I’d do the same if I had a big canine with a trash fetish.

[CatherineofAragon]

" where he would take his paw-device with the retractable tine-things, spear a piece of meat, and plop it into his mouth and chew contentedly"

LOL

The picture in my mind...ahh, it's so cute I can't stand it.

[Monkey Face]

The truck is just leaving with the no-longer-mine stuff...only 16 containers to go! YAY! (Eight of them are books.)

While I’m sorting, I will keep an eye out for books I think you might like.

But I won’t be doing it today!

[Tax-chick]

If you find anything you think I want, list it, and if I want you to mail, I’ll pay in advance.

You will make many thrift-shoppers very happy!

[Monkey Face]

I still have stuff in the house to go, too, but for now, I’m going to concentrate on the Christmas stuff, and try to get as much of it in the empty tubs as possible so it will fit in the coat closet.

And then I can work on the book cases! YAY!

[Monkey Face]

The hips are killing me, so I’m going to go put some heat on them and call this a day. It WAS productive!

See y’all in the morning!

[Tax-chick]

[Monkey Face]

Opening any can will do...it’s the can opener that’s the trigger!

Good morning. I slept fairly well, and don’t feel too bad, but my list for the doctor is growing exponentially.

Only eight tubs to go! YAY! But today, I will rest the hips.

Maybe today, I will go through the rest of the papers and decide what to keep. I can do that sitting down.

[Tax-chick]

I use a manual can opener, and the cats eat dry food. The sound they associate with noms is *chopping*.

We’re going to the gym shortly, but first waiting for Kathleen to *go*.

[NicknamedBob]

" you open a can of soup ..."

I suppose if you opened a can of cat, it would be runny too.
