ok, we used to have a springer spaniel called muffin.
now he was the thickest most lovable dog. he didnt care if you smacked him (when he had done bad) as you were touching him.. and he loved being stroked or smacked..
he once one xmas opened the fridge. and ate, a dozen eggs, shells and carton, half a pound of cheese, we had a pressed ox tongue he ate that. he emptied the fridge of all food. we come back and we see the fridge door was open. we knew it was him so we locked him in the laundry for 30 mins, then we let him out and he came and asked for his dinner. we had to sellotape the fridge up from then on.
he once ate a cork on a peice of string, it came out string first. yes.. ewwwww
he used to like playing slidies.. he used to get some tin cooking trays out from under the sink, and used to put them in the middle of the room and would run and slide on them we would wake up hearing a thud, as he hit the door..
he once ate a very poisonous amaryllis plant, that was about to flower, he ate, the flower, the stems, the bulb, the soil and half the pot.
he was a pedigree, so one year after being pestered by a breeder we took him to the farm and she said we have just the females for him, and we let him off his lead, and in the the ladies.. he ignored them (they were on heat), he wasnt interested at all.. (a childfree dog). he would rather run about and play.. needless to say he was never a dad
he pined away whn my dad died and soon joined my dad. he was the biggest thug on 4 legs.

Voltaire said: "Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities."
H.L.Mencken wrote:"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.â€
