Holly on Abby

My mom says Abby is a walking disaster. I can't tell you how many remote controls she's chewed along with pairs of glasses, shampoo bottles,in fact anything perfumed (human that is! not doggy) she will try to eat. Also being a lurcher with those long legs Abby can reach almost everywhere, so everything in our house is so high even mom has to stretch to reach. Worst is mom sometimes forgets madam can reach anywhere and leaves things out, but the dreaded Abby is there watching and waiting.
Talking of perfumed things, what self respecting dog would eat pot-pourri, well Abby did! We went on holiday a couple of years ago to a very nice bungalow, mom unpacked the car whilst me and madam Abby stayed in the car. We were taken into the bungalow and allowed to have a look around to get used to the place (at least that was the idea). Guess who found the pot-pourri within five minutes and ate half a bowlfull (freshly oiled of course). Guess who spent that week at the local vets on a drip, scaring everybody and very, very, poorly. Apparently pot-pourri is on the poisons list and it could have killed her.She was just about well enough to travel back home, and guess what last year mom took us on holiday again checked everywhere for pot-pourri, couldn't find any but Abby did (underneath the bed in the guzzunder) fortunately not oiled so no problem this time,you would think a dog would learn- not Abby!!
better go madam is watching
see you soon love Holly

No pot-pourri here - it would get full of dust.

Everything eles is full of dust anyway.

What a strange, I mean interesting dog.

Her breath must have smelt nice for kisses tho?

Come on Holly, come on, you've got more gossips than that, what about the soap powder, what about the seatbelts (after you mum had polished them), and all the other nice smelly things.

Lol! aaah the bottomless pit of a lurcher tummy, it can never be fathommed.

Hopefully she will grow out of some of it!
