The Smell is Devine.

Thanks to the weather still stopping everything in its tracks I have had to put up with the old fart watching my every move, thus my rushing this communiqué, He is not going out doors as he fears falling over. Not so! It’s His inability to get up without much help once He has fallen, poor old sod. If only His type (humans) had four legs as opposed to only two, the chance of slipping let alone falling over are very slim to zero.

If there is anything is this world that we dogs go wild about is smells! We can smell more things than any other beings on this planet regardless of how miniscule the trace may be, we shall sniff it out. You can try and hide that bar of chocolate, we know where it is and pester you till we break your stubbiness and let us have a bit if not all of the goodies. Why do you give into to us is simple, the love we give you when we greet you with on your return home from a hard day’s work and as for those big brown eyes.... how can anyone resist? If all else fails there is the old fallback failsafe constant “pawing and whimpering”, (works for me).

There are two Ruby’s’ I love in this world, the first is my unrequited love for the redhead Spaniel in the house that backs onto our garden and then there is what my cockney Master calls a “Ruby Murray”. It’s hot I know, but boy the after burn in the mouth is a thrill to savour and the smells drive me to distraction. His lordship always makes far too much and thus I get a morsel or two chucked my way.

I tend, as you know to pour scorn on my Master for his silly little ways, however he does show an inspirational side, alas only in His cooking of Indian food.
Tonight’s menu is Tenderise Tandoori Brest of Chicken on a bed of saffron Basmati rice cooked in a homemade chicken stock. Bombay potato and garden pea Aloo with a Mushroom Bhaji side dish. Cannot wait!

Happy eating
