Fair's fare

Any chance of leaving me some?
Less is more, if you believe in the philosophy of minimalism.
But it is not, if you believe in the philosophy of Scratchy.
It is a dilemma which has, of late, started to weigh me down.
This is about supermarket aisles, economies of scale, common sense and a pragmatic attitude to Scratchy’s gluttony.
Vets call this “food instinct”. Some dogs have it more than others. Some reach legendary status. In Scratchy’s case, tell your grandchildren that they will see fewer comets in their lifetimes than we saw in ours.
I can’t stop Scratchy, deep in the night, while I’m asleep, wandering into the backyard and catching passing comets, but I can debate the objective consideration of the equitable distribution of a can of sardines.
We add a tin of sardines to our dogs’ dinners every second night. We buy the sardines from our local supermarket, which is a big one and offers many choices. It offers premium-quality sardines, and it offers, in bulk, 50-per-box packaging, the cheapest of cheap sardines, purchase of which immediately puts you on an international consumer watch list.
We regularly buy these for our dogs.
As stated earlier, they get one tin of sardines every second night.
So much for the background. Now here’s my dilemma: is it fair that I give Daisy, on top of her kibble, considerably more of the every-second-night-sardine treat than I give Scratchy?
Here’s my justification. Scratchy is a Life Member of the Intergalactic Gluttons Rule Association. He will finish his dinner in approximately seven seconds whether it is mixed with minced, salted and sauted wagyu beef , or sardines, or air.
Daisy has different priorities. Dinner, to Daisy, is not something which, like Scratchy, ranks number one on the Life Priority Scale. Dinner, to watch Daisy eat it, is something which she considers moderately important every second night.
In other words, Scratchy would devour his dinner if you mixed it with cast iron filings seasoned with concrete, while Daisy takes an active interest only when it is mixed with sardines.
In summary, both my dogs energetically eat their dinner when I divide the sardines inequably. Surely it’s a reasonable policy.
Isn’t it?

All girl dogs eat like ladies we take our time and savor every bite. Wish I got sardines on my food.

you haven't seen Heidi eat! She is a delightful hound whom i love dearly and if i could i'd steal her away to sydney to live with me in an instant, but she is not an elegant eater. chicken necks get spread all over the rug before being crunched up, dribbles of egg spread all over her nose and bits of biscuits sprayed in a very wide radius.

When you say, "All boy dogs eat like there is no tomorrow", surely that's an exaggeration.

Ever noticed that, the closer it is to dinner time, the remoter the concept of "tomorrow" becomes?

Now youve done it you hurt Snooops feelings. OK not so much she just went take a nap and think about eating. And being a true lady you get this.
I have to admit she is the neatist eater in the house (dog wise) even tho she is blind as a bat there are never any piles of food or crumbs left around the food bowls unlike when the boys eat. We free feed the fur kids so food is always there. Sorry to say that our boy dogs have always been the slobs re food you will find a trail of food leading to one of the boys.
So Snoopys opinion remains the same boy dogs are GLUTTONS and eat like slobs. Girl dogs are neat and have good manners. Boy dogs belch in your face and pass stinky gas. Girl dogs would never do that please note the lady like way she naps.

Comment by Heidiclyde
We must admit that with her great interest in food we had all assumed that Snoopy was a boy dog, if she free feeds and manages to retain her elegant feminine figure she can't be a glutton whatever she says.
Free feeding here would be a disaster, the Missus says I would end up a balloon and Clyde's dinner would either go into me or get flyblown before he ate it.
Regarding the sardines, of course it is a reasonable policy to give more sardines to the one who really appreciates them, Clyde always gets more Beyleigh tucker than the foster hounds or I do, having found a food he really enjoys he gets as much of it as he will eat (and thank you Beyleigh for the recipe). On the other hand I get to share the sardines with the foster hounds because Clyde won't eat sardines.
Surely the crux of this argument is the difference between a gourmet and a glutton and the lack of wisdom in throwing pearls before swine?

Murphy (who was named by a Scottish friend - long story involving gluttonous amounts of alcohol), was a disinterested eater. We had two cats at the same time, and the cats, once they had finished eating their food, would stroll over to Murphy and help themselves to further tidbits from his bowl, sometimes standing between his legs.
I told people he was happy to share, but the truth is he just didn't care. He didn't care all the way up to the time he became a vegetarian, when he became a glutton. But that's another long story.
It's great to hear that Clyde shows interest in the Beyleigh food. I admit I showed interest in it myself. But then I'm the original glutton. Scratchy gets it from me.
Comment by INDIOSDAD
I'll admit that my basis for saying all boy dogs are GLUTTONS is limited to my own pack. So especially to Clyde I am sorry for my blanket statement about all boy dogs. You are invited to my house any day for dinner. Unless I can come over to your house cause the Sardines sound good.I am still trying to talk my hooman dad into buying us some to try if he does it will have to be when the hooman mom is not home cauz she dont like no fish.I think dad will get some cuz he says he used to eat them when he was a kid in a place called Wisconsin (whereever that is)
So I am sorry I called all boy dogs GLUTTONS

Isn't it wonderful to gain international fame through our dear Chris' blog? I was so excited when Roux commented on my blog and the Missus pointed out that she lives in America. And now we have Snoopy and her friends reading about us too! I wonder if dogs from England (where the Missus was born) and France (where Bruce and Ange who are grown-ups that the Boss and the Missus refer to as children, now live) read about us too? Maybe there are other countries as well?
I know about Adelaide because the Boss and the Missus go there lots and take us quite often. I know about Melbourne because you and Lynx and Scratchy and Daisy live there and about Sydney because Bronwyn lives there and I know they are more than a day in the car away because we can go to Leigh Creek and to Elliston (where Rosco lives) and it takes a day to get there but we can't go to Sydney or Melbourne. This means Australia must be quite a big place. I think America must be quite big too because we know there is a place called Hollywood where Snoopy lives with Movie Stars (are they different to sky stars? does she mean sky stars are not proper stars?) and New York where I think Roux lives and a place called Arkansas where smelly skunks live.
In France there is a place called Agen where Bruce and Ange live and a place called Paris where Bruce has to go to conferences sometimes so I think it is really quite small but England has lots of dog racing tracks so I think it is the biggest and most important place of all.
Do you think we should send the Beyleigh tucker recipe to the dog tracks in England to make you really famous?
many tail wags and licks,
Heidi.
P.S. I'm afraid the Missus never leaves a recipe alone and her version is now quite a bit different to the original one but it will always be called Beyleigh tucker in this house and always be a part of our diet because it is the only food that we've found that Clyde will almost always eat.
Thank you very much, it is such a relief to be able to walk with him without being completely embarrassed by his skinny uncouth frame next to my elegant one.
Heidi.

Talking about places, anyone know where New Zealand is? Near Old Zealand, I guess. Anyway, I heard the Big Boss say he's going there for a week starting Monday, and has been flat out like a lizard drinking preparing for it.

Is New Zealand another country? I heard the Boss and the Missus talking about going there for a conference soon and I thought it was just another place in Australia. Is it safe for them to go to another country? When Bruce and Ange come back here they sometimes start to gabble in a really funny way, will the Boss and Missus do that? Didn't Big Boss and Little Boss go to New Zealand a little while ago and come back talking funny?
Do you think Big Boss and our Boss and Missus will see each other when they go there?
Scratchy, I think England is quite near to France because Bruce and Ange go there quite often and we know France is a really long way from Australia, and that America is a really long way from Australia. All our hoomans seem to go to New Zealand and they don't go to France and England and America so I think New Zealand and Old Zealand must be somewhere in the middle between us and the rest of the countries, do you think that makes sense?
You know getting to know you and all our friends on our blog has made me see that there is far more to the world we live in than I thought. Even travelling around with the Boss and the Missus we see lots of different looking places and hoomans and dogs but with all these different countries I suppose you could drive the 'ute for a week and still find more places to see. The mind boggles at the thought of all the hoomans and dogs there must be out there.
Wags to you too,
Heidi.

So many comments so little time.
Beyleigh first of all please do not try to swim here too far to swim and there are things out there that are scary. I know I've seen them in the magic window. 16 hours (doggie time or hooman time# on a areoplane too long unless it's 1st class.
Clyde; Whats a UTE? Is that like a car?
I wish you could come here for a trip. We would have lotsa fun. My hooman dad is a great guide person to pay back all the guide dogs for the blind. I hardly ever run into anything. As for Hollywood stars we only go to see them so we can laugh at them and their silly foo foo dogs dressed in costumes.
I will be thinking about you bud.
Heidi; Sky Stars ARE the proper stars Hollywood stars are just phony. You can see them in the magic window in your living room.The Hoomans call it a TV #Television# and they watch all sorts of silly things on them. Hollywood stars are just hoomans that think they are pretty like us. Yes Australia is a big place, My hooman says it is one of the biggest places and is a continent #or something like that# a big country and a island. All that in one place. The United States is a big place too. We got cool things here. Some things just like you got We got a place called The Grand Canyon which to us dogs is just a big hole in the ground dug by some huge Greyhound But my hooman says you have a canyon that is even wider and longer there. But he dont remember the name of it. He liked a thing called Geogarphy #or something like that when he was a pup. He says that we have less tracks now then ever before. But we have a lot of them in a place called Florida..The hooman says we are more alike then not yous and us.
Asfar as New Zealand I have no idea where it is maybe by New York.
All n All it sure is nice to have new friends all the way in Australia. I am happy (well I am still Snoopy) to know ya all

Hi Clyde;
What you call a ute there we call a Pick Up truck here or a Pick Up for short. Now I don't know what it picks up but thats what we call um. The realy big trucks we call Semi's or 18 wheelers. We don't have Road Trains here in the States. Dad says he knows what they are cuz he has read about them and seen a documentry bout them where you live. He says that in some States like a place called Texas and Idaho and some other state they allow trucks with 2 40ft trailers but no longer. He says that if they were allowed in California the already crazy drivers would go NUTS.
Here is a picture of my boy (Dad says every dog should have his own boy) the hoomans call him Daniel say he is their Grandson. He is doing a Easter egg hunt. We do that here on Easter Sunday the hoomans fill plastic eggs with candy and coins and hide them and the Grand kids have to look for them. I could find them faster by sniffen but dad says that would be cheaten so the boy has to look/
My boy is 10yr old in hooman yrs. We all love him and are happy that he lives here with us now. The other picture with him has our hooman mom out with us while boy looks for the eggs. Mom don't like her picture taken so don't tell her I sent it.
The other picture is of our doggie van. It is how we get to the doggie park and to the vet We like our vet do you go to see him too his name is Dr Bart. What do you call doggie vans there.
We won't worry about the Hollywood stars anymore only about the actual stars that we both can sorta see.
The thing on the left side in the one picture is our camping thingie we call them RVs here dad says he thinks you call them Caravans there like they do in England. We use it to go on road trips like to the beach or to the place where the wild animals live I think its called a preserve.

D'yer mean ter say theres another Yankee Clyde! </www.greyhoundzoom.com/zoom- room/>! Geeze in'ut bad enough havin ter live with er foster hound what's filched me name?
Look, ged'ut right Snoop! I'm Clyde, I've allus bin Clyde an all ther other Clydes are jest illywackers aht ter steal me good name an track record! An mate, I dun come frum Australia, I live's here in 'stralia, in me orchard on ther Barrier. An yeah, livin in an orchard's ther tops, ther foster hounds dunno ef theyr'e Arthur or Martha when they gets here, so much space ter run in!
Ther trucks what go up ther Barrier are B-doubles (what's a short trailer with er 40 footer on a dolly up behind) not real road trains, we see ther road trains when we heads up ther track ter Leigh Creek, an when we went up ter the territory they had 3 an 4 trailer trains, they were corker! They have a contest up there ter see how many trailers er prime mover can shift up there. Ther Missus ses ther record us somethin like 43 trailers, I would'n know what 43 anything looked like but theyr'e all as mad as er gum tree full uv Galahs up in ther territory so's ut prolly a plurry big number.

I hope I didn't hurt you. Here in the States when we say "I come from California or I come from Alabama" it jus means where you was born. So I was jus joken cuz Clyde is a good southern name. Kinda like my pack member Naboo is from Spain. He was born there and brought to California as a pup. Dad says he is a Galago #Spanish Greyhound# He was given up by his old family and lives here now. I am from Arizona. Now I am a Californian.
Any way Clyde is a good name I am pleased to be your buddy.

We got the Sardines tonight on our food.
Oh boy was it good. I ate all of them and all my food so did Happy Naboo ate most of the fish and some food so I finished his off too.
I'm hopen that we will get some coupla times a week. Dad says they are not cheap caus there are none made here in the States any more and are what he call imported but I know he will get them for us.
The joke will be on mom when she gets home we all have fish breath.

Comment by Heidiclyde
Your weather must be strange, May is when it's meant to rain here. We would be dancing if it started to rain now. We've had a very peculiar year. The creek that runs through our place flooded twice last year, the second time it ran a real banker and took most of our fences away, then it kept on raining right into the summer when it's meant to be hot and dry, so it ruined the hay and all the seed bed sprouted and we aren't sure how good a seed bed we've got left. It finally stopped raining at the end of March and now that it's meant to rain so we can sew the crops it seems to have forgotten how. We count on a season break on about Anzac day near the end of April but it hasn't happened yet.
Enjoy your sardines, I can see a tin on the bench so maybe we'll get some tonight too. Yum!
licks and ear rubs to you,
Heidi.
Comment by Heidiclyde
Can you get Mackerel or something like that cheaper than sardines? Any tinned in oil fish will do, just go for the cheapest one. Here Mackerel only comes in large tins which is why most of us buy home brand sardines in bulk packs (they are REALLY cheap that way) but with three dogs to eat it a large tin would go down pretty quickly.
Jennie, aka the Missus.
Comment by INDIOSDAD
First thanks for the advice on the Mackerel. Funny thing is I can buy canned tuna or salmon cheaper then sardines. What is strange that in the 30 plus years I spent manageing Kmarts (yes the same company originaly as there) the sardines were always one of the cheapest things on the shelf. There are no companies that can them any more here in the States so all are imported. The fur kids wolfed them down like they had not had a meal in a week. So funny to watch.
I will try sometinng else but will go back if they do not like them as much.
Miss Heidi; yes the weather here is so diffrent it could turn your head around. When it's summer here it's winter there. We also live on the edge of a desert here. We only get limited rain in the winter here almost none in spring and none in the summer.So rain in May is a BIG deal. Dad has to water the lemon trees in the back yard lots in summer.
A big surprise to you dad knows all about ANZAC day there. He says it is the same as Memorial day here which we celebrate in two weeks. It is a day where we honor all the men and women who have died who served in our military. Like yours it has changes over the years originaly it was to honor the dead from our civil war but now is for all military in all wars as well as in peace time
Dad will be helping read the names of the 6,000 buried at just one of the National cemitaries in the last year here in the States. Yours was origanialy to honor the dead at Galipoli (think I spelled it right) and is now to honor all your military dead. So as dad always says we are more alike than diffrent.

To finish on the sardines they were imported from Poland (no Polish joke or insult here I am of Lithuanian desent and that makes me the same basicly as a Pole) and in the whole tin there were maybe 3 whole fish the rest were just hunks and pieces of fish. I would send you some but can you imagine the cost of shipping would be likr feeding Clyde and Heidi gold. By the way I realy do love Clydes name. I know it sounded like a joke but that is a great Red Neck name.
Comment by Heidiclyde
Don't worry about Clyde's sensitivity about his name, he just has trouble getting his head around the fact that another dog shares his name, read Really Long Link and the link in this link and you'll see what I mean.
Having another Clyde living here has been particularly confusing for him of course but we all like Tiger Clyde and our Clyde even plays with him so that has to be a good thing!
Heidi.
Comment by INDIOSDAD
OK but tell Clyde we still think he has a cool name. The doggie mommie and I went shopping yesterday.While there we bought the fur kids tuna tonight will be the first night for that. Here in California the food stores have the price tags of each item on the edge of the shelf for each item. On these tags is the unit price (ie price per ounce) Tuna is on sale this week for 13.5 cents per ounce sardienes are 49 cents per ounce so the dogs get tuna. OK so Marlene (dog mama) and I get tuna too. Will never understand that. One more funny thing about the sardienes. I decided to give the cats a treat and give them some. Our garage kitty (our mouser since we live on the edge of horse and cow country we need her for field mice) ate every bit and licked her bowl clean. Our indoor kitty licked the skin off and turned her nose up at it and walked away. A cat that won't eat fish. I have weird animals. Snoopy ate the rest.
Jerry
Comment by INDIOSDAD
Clyde and Scratch;
I must say I'm sorry from Snoopy. After all she said about only boy dogs being GLUTONS tonight proved that is so wrong.
For the first time today our Greys had TUNA added to their chow. I split a can of said tuna to a bowl of food for each dog as a traet tonight.
Well as it happens Snoopy finished all of her bowl lickety split. Naboo ate the tuna and just kinda walked away from his bowl which Snoopy promptly finished off and then walked over to Happys bowl to see if there was any left.
So boys SNOOPY says she is sorry. Cause she is a GLUTTON. So all goes to prove that boys and girls are GLUTTONS.

Just because I take a healthy interest in my meals he says I'm a glutton! How dare he! Me, the most elegant hound in South Australia!
I admit that I finish before everyone else but that is because I'm half starved most of the time. If the Missus stopped giving me short rations all the time I'd probably be able to eat in a more ladylike fashion.
First Bronwyn insults me and now that under nourished, dim witted, beanpole that's a sorry excuse for a hound says I'm a big guts!
I am deeply offended and upset.
