have you tried giving her plain pieces of ice?

Occasionally, but she just leaves a wet mess on the floor , same with the occasional piece of carrot, a few crunches and leaves the rest.

Dogs have individual personalities which are as unique as us humans, don't they? My dog loves ice and carrots and chomps up both, leaving nothing for me to find. 

The only thing she doesn't like is her kibble - no matter which I get her. So now I make her food - everyone laughs about it - I spend more time making her food than I ever have spent on making ours!

My cats were the same - one loved mushrooms more than chicken and another had to have sliced tomatoes for breakfast year in, year out all her life. Also sweet corn soup and papaya! The same cat loved an Indian fast food called Sevpuri so much, it was the only time she ate from my plate when I was distracted. The dish is vegan - not that I knew it then!

This is the Mark 2. Longer straps, two less of them and holes top and bottom. I left it with a couple of ladies last week. This week I'll find out how they got on with it

It still reminds me of 'Joe 90', lol.

I'll have to show you  my little woolly device(?)  It basically separates the wool when plying , or for knitting two colours at the same time.

This one family had bought a fridge with an icemaker, one of the fancy ones where you could acess both ice and cold water from the front of the fridge. After they'd had it awhile, and the weather got really hot, the wife was complaining about the kids leaving a mess on the floor when they got a cold drink. Sometimes there were even a few ice cubes on the floor.

The kids kept denying it, and things were getting rather tense.

Then, one day she came into the kitchen and caught the REAL culprit in the act. Their dog had figured out how to activate the mechanism to get himself a nice, cold drink!

One very smart dog

This is my 5,000 posting!

Can you believe that I waffle on so much?

I made this sort-of pouch for a handled-magnifying glass a couple of weeks ago. Part of dottir's archy kit

(I need practice!)

That's cool, Fred!

Why is a magnifying glass part of her archery kit?

[fredk]

archy kit = archaeology kit.  I'm too lazy and I can't spell archaeology
