A Dog's Game

Sunday.

The local butcher provided us with a pig's liver to supplement Dog's diet. It turns out that is not a good idea to add variety to Dog's daily intake, especially when it is lightly sautéed liver. Yes he liked it very much and yes the change to the regularity and consistency of his bowel movements was dramatic.

As a result I am acting as Dog's doorman. The slightest rumble or twitch and I am off at a canter to the back door so that it's open when he arrives.

I think it has become a game.

The trouble is that if I lose the game I am on all fours - scraping, scrubbing, disinfecting and steaming. Dog on the other hand, merely feels relieved.
