One of our dogs has fairly short legs and a long nose which helps her be a master of the snatch-and-grab. On a walk, she can pick up food from the sidewalk without breaking stride at all. Once my DH was walking her and looked down to see she had an entire burrito in her mouth.
Jayne: Yeah, that was some pretty risky sittin' you did there. Wash: That's right, of course, 'cause they wouldn't arrest me if we got boarded, I'm just the pilot. I can always say I was flying the ship by accident.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Thrive to spite them
Thanks for the tips with the cats.
I went by Petco and got some measurements for some dog crates. They said they could go and try to fit some in my car so I may go do that tomorrow.
Dean and Maddie get along really well, they sleep together and do groom each other. And when there's a door closed between them they claw at the door or Dean meows...well chirps. I don't know if they get car sick, it's only about a mile to the vet so they do okay that way.
The doggie training pads is a good idea, I hadn't thought about that.
I should see how rolling the clothes goes with packing them in boxes. And I keep thinking "I can just pack my winter stuff" but I'll need long sleeves and some light jackets because of the temperature difference. By the end of the week in St Albans the highs will be in the low fifites. The end of the week here it will be high 80s.

If it's on the ground, it belongs to the hound.

This is Ozymandias. I loathe bulk trash day when people just put everything on the curb.

Duct tape is failing miserably. I'm really hoping that the new braces fit ok when I get home and trying not to panic.

Seriously? If dogs could have tattoos, the Bman would have this inked inside a chicken bone. That's the way he rolls.

Bartleby has learned to be super sneaky like this. He'll surge ahead, grab whatever it is in his schnosicle and keep his head turned away so that I cannot see him chew.
Then there is the bread on one side of the park, poop on the other side of the park so that, as I'm cleaning up, he can dart across and hoover up everything.
That last one left me quite as impressed as I was frustrated. Way to go with the strategic thinking, little man.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Dean! Sam! Dean!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh, no, sj! I hope getting home is not too much hassle and the new braces fit.

Well, I'm sitting in the car now so hopefully no hassle between here and home. I'm more worried about PT and stuff this week with new braces.

I am happy to say that our two know to sit and stay while we clean up poop. We put leashes down and they wait while we clean up. It's the LEAST they can do, since we are, you know, cleaning up their poop.
