Eating

I was going to try to keep a record of all the things that Bella eats but the list is proving almost impossible to keep up with. The list so far this week includes COD7, my curtains, approximately 5 water pistols, a DK Guide to New York, a watering can, my cleaner's slippers, a dog bowl..........The dog bowl was very embarrassing as we were at a lovely tea shop, it was a hot day and they gave her a bowl of water. At one stage she was trying to eat the table leg so I was quite pleased and relieved when she seemed to be interested in the water bowl instead. It was very short lived when I realised the bowl was in pieces and any future furry visitors were going to have to go thirsty.I did confess and they were very sweet but I did feel guilty. I have bought them a new bowl and will take it over next time we visit.

She went for the entertainment award today. We went to a local park with a large lake. We took some bread to feed the ducks, but the park was very busy and the ducks were not interested. However Bella took one look at the bread being thrown in the lake and thought of only one thing - FOOD! She was joined by 2 other labradors who all swam around a bit like a cross between a submarine / crocodile / large floating object and ate all the bread. They had to swim to get it. It was like a real life enactment of the hippos swimming in the BBC trailer! In fact there was a camera crew there filming something else - they missed a great opportunity right under their nose!
