Can we call the H/A/M Bob, or does he have a particular name which would be better to use? Assuming we can call him Bob, is he related to you? Your: boyfriend spouse brother son father uncle grandfather cousin friend? |

Will the dog simply not go outdoors as long as there's chocolate indoors? CORRECT! ********** SPOILER ************* I was taking some rubbish out to the bins and as my hands were full I didn't bother closing the front door as I knew that while ever my husband had chocolate (or any food for that matter) the dog would be focussed totally on that instead of rushing out and charging around the front garden like a looney. Actually, the easiest way to 'catch' him is to open the back of the car, he jumps in, thinking he's off to the beach. In the meantime we can get hold of his collar and lead him back indoors |
