Many years ago, a girl I worked with asked another friend and I to go to her house for a meal before we all went on a girl's night out. We both lived a quite a long way away so we were very grateful as it saved us going home first.
However once we got to her house, where she lived with her DM and DD we were confronted with this dog from hell! I love animals and really this dog wasn't frightening it was just extremely energetic, plus it was very, very stinky and I mean it brought tears to your eyes!
So we sit down on the settee and her DM brings in our meal, it was beans on toast. Lovely, lots of buttered hot toast and lovely china plates but all the while we are eating this mad dog is trying to climb up our legs to get to our food and no one takes a blind bit of notice. We ended up with the plates in the air over our heads, nervously chuckling and splattered in nasty stinking drool.
Worse was to come, when we had finished, her DM took our plates and just put them on the floor at which point the dog was allowed to lick them clean, his mission accomplished. Her DM went to to explain that they hardly had to do any washing up in their house, the dog made such a good job........and she wasn't joking!!!! My other friend and I just sat there stunned![bushock]
Not only that but later my other friend told me that when she had eaten her last piece of toast, the bottom of the plate had the remains of an old fried egg, just the yellow scrapings, so the dog must have missed that bit from a previous meal.[busad]
