Usually gd bikes to Lincoln on a Saturday morning with a couple of mates. This week he went Sunday instead, but the routine was the same.

When he gets home he has cheerios for lunch, and cooks 3 or 4 extra for molly. Of course she knows the routine and won’t leave his side and watches him with pleading eyes while he eats his lunch. Then she gets her treat although she does have to say ‘please’ with her paw first – but that is never a problem.

In the background is her bowl of untouched breakfast biscuits which I gave her after we had been for a walk, and it will probably sit there until I add a little bit of ‘people food’ from our dinner
