Who says lurchers are stupid

[RobinHood]

I was driving back from london today and had an open packet of individually wrapped fudge pieces in the passenger footwell. Ped was lying on the front seat (yes I know very naughty mummy) and kept pretending to sleep with his head hanging down near the floor aka eyeing up the fudge!

Next thing I notice he's picked up a piece by it's wrapper and put it on the seat next to me. I unwrapped it, ate half and gave him the other half (yet again naughty mummy

). Apparently this was a good game and after chewing his piece for what seemed like 10mins he yet again got a piece out the bag and gave it to me to unwrap. This continued until I decided as cute as it was lurchers on a raw diet shouldn't really be eating fudge, and the activity probably counted as driving with undue care and attention

.

So who needs a human passenger to pass you sweeties when your dog can do it!

(Disclaimer - RAC dog seatbelt arrived in the post this morning so dog will no longer be loose in car.)

Mine wouldn't have bothered asking to have it unwrapped they would have eaten it as it was. What apolite pooch you have!!

Our old dog (whispers - cross bred springer x jrt) used to very carefully nose through the tin of quality street / roses / whatever, pick out a nut one and bring it to you to be unwrapped. At christmas she would also put any chocolate containing presents in a pile without unwrapping them and guard them from the other dogs
