Hoover

Tug's nickname is Hoover: our floors have no crumbs but do have a heavy coating of saliva from his tongue when he licks stuff up. I was doing prep work for Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow by peeling carrots & parsnips. I pulled a chair into the kitchen and hung a garbage bag on a drawer handle started peeling. Hoover stood underneath the bag snarfing up any peels which missed the bag and hit the floor. Now, Tuggums has a delicate stomach which doesn't handle all foods well so I was a little concerned. I did try to keep him from getting too much.

Shortly thereafter, Mama took the boy for a walk- it's so cold here this week he's wearing his little red coat again. She duly reported that during his outing he passed the peels just fine. Apparently, that kind of roughage goes through like greased lightning...
