There was a delicious aroma of freshly baked cake in the air, so Lady Magnon decided to play just one more game of Dominoes with Boo Boo, whilst the cake cooled on the kitchen table.
Unfortunately the smell of cake is appealing not only to humans, but also to dogs; and a certain young Border Collie I know had already been tucking in.
No supper for you tonight m'lad!!!
At least he left you a piece!
ReplyDeleteHe only left a bit because he was caught in the act; sitting on a chair, and tucking in.
DeleteEnough left for you to share?
ReplyDeleteYes, luckily.
DeleteOops!
ReplyDeleteI remember leaving a custard tart on the worktop at work one day. It was unattended for all of two minutes and appeared untouched but there was a very smug poodle licking her lips. None of the four staff were prepared to risk it so she got the lot. Waste not, want not!
If it had been licked all over, I don't think I would have been too keen either.
DeleteLucky that it didn't have dried fruit in it or a trip to the vet toute suite would have been in order!
ReplyDeleteI think it was Banana and Honey.
DeleteHe knows what's tasty, even if it's not the healthiest, like all of us.
ReplyDeleteHe's not a greedy dog, but he does like cake.
DeleteBilly likes a bit of Lady M’s freshly baked cake along with everyone else ! He’s not daft. XXXX
ReplyDeleteHe had about a third of it.
DeleteOh no! That really not very fair of him.
ReplyDeleteLady M was partly to blame. She left it too near the edge of the table.
Deleteahh, he's only a baby. Not daft though!
ReplyDeleteWe're going to re-name him 'Billy the Cake'.
DeleteCan't really blame him - who doesn't like cake! We have learned not to leave the butter out without a cover over it (cat!) -Jenn
ReplyDeleteWe used to find our cat licking the icing off cakes. Not nice.
DeleteSo naughty Billy, but hey, you are an always hungry dog.
ReplyDeleteOur Lab' Monty was far worse. He lived to eat!
Deletelabs live on a seefood diet...see food and eat it!
DeleteMy son left some nice steaks on the counter one time; just ready to go out to the grill....
ReplyDeleteLove 'em for what they are!
Never turn your back on a hungry dog.
DeleteLove that he was sitting at the table eating cake. Such good manners.

I didn't actually see it, but my wife said he was sitting very nicely on MY chair.
DeleteIn the upper echelons of society, such great people, toffs, the pheasants on the table ready for tomorrow's dinner party, mauled by some animals in the night (the dogs?) and found on the floor next morning resulted in a menu change; casseroled for guests the next day instead of roasted.
ReplyDeleteI think I might do the same.
DeleteYes, I would. The story was told to me by one of the men I used to work with. It was his sister.
DeleteCrumbs!
ReplyDeleteMy dog Busby ate a plastic bag full of minced meat. Yeah, bag and all.
Sounds like a Lab'. Monty never worried about wrappers.
DeleteLove it!
ReplyDeleteHe did too.
