Hopeless Case: Watch your dogs eating aliums (onion, garlic, leeks etc) as it is poisonous to them. Having said that, we once had a Staffie/Jack Russell cross who ate absolutely ANYTHING and, if it didn't agree with him, returned it from whence it came, or - as was more usual - threw up on the kitchen floor. I can't leave bananas in reach as the mutt loves them. Same with blueberries. He's also good at hoovering up frozen peas that I regularly manage to spill. NOTE TO SELF: seal the bl**dy bag before putting back in the freezer.
He also pounced on and ate my other dog's worm tablet once - I'd pushed it into cheese but he still managed to eat the cheese and spit the tablet, and Mr Pug was on it in a flash. I was worried at first but thankfully as it wasn't an overdose! I swear I could just drop his tablet into his open mouth and he'd eat it without even questioning what it was :rotfl: but lesson learned, I shut him in the other room when worming the others now!I can relate to you not being able to get the freezer top closed. HINT: a 4 pack of beans and a 4 pack of tomatoes on the lid helps!0 -

Big YS deals yesterday - great for the budget, but not for emptying the freezer!
Out: 2 pitta breads, bagel, 3 slices pastrami, handful of blackcurrants
In: Loads of cherries; large piece of YS cod cut into 9 portions; large piece of YS salmon cut into 6 portions0 -
Hi mrssd,
Yes, I've found it handy to label and also, to have separate notes about what food "stocks" are in the house. My recipes made are usually additionally described as what they seem like to me (e.g. sweet, savoury, very nice, not keen etc.) If a recipe does not seem appealing, I usually want to "improve" it quickly. It usually works!0 -

I didn't know pugs were such gannets! Wish the mutt would take his tablet. It doesn't matter what I hide it in, he manages to avoid it.
Sadly it's an upright freezer so I have to stare at the seal and make sure it's closed then just push if it isn't :rotfl:0 -
Not been out since last Sunday, so no local (food) shopping. This may be "helped" because my usual preferred transport (i.e. bicycle) to the shops is still broken. Nevertheless, plenty of black currants from the garden are being collected and frozen.0

Hopeless Case: I know it is probably somewhere, but I'm still learning to drive this forum: What is "YS" in your posts?0
