I've been sitting here eating my breakfast and reading blogs for half an hour or so, enjoying the peace and stillness of the early morning. Well maybe not so still, after a while I became aware of constant movment from accross the kitchen. It was one of those vague movments and sounds that is constant and your brain cancels out until it begins to irritate you. So I looked up to see Badger with his head in the chicken feed sack tucking in to mouthfuls of organic mixed corn!
Why?
First Henry and now Badger. At least Henry had the sense to stop immediately and close his mouth and pretend he hadn't been raiding the food, Badger just carried on regardless trying to scoff as much as he could.
I'm sure mixed corn is not the sort of food dogs would naturally eat so I can only assume this is a case of dog in a manger as all the dogs know the chicken feed is for the chickens and follow me out every morning to feed them so I think they are on a mission to eat all the chickens food just so the chickens can't eat it.
Dogs eh?
Completely mad.

We used to holler "PIG DOG!" at Bella when she got her face into food that she wasn't supposed to have.
She was four and a half when the kitten arrived. She was a rescue and was still very thin and needed building up. We took a bag of "rapid growth kitten food" away from the RSPCA shop. Enough for 8 weeks. Within a week, pig-dog was found in the box (yes, in the box) in the larder and was troughing up the RGKF. Seven weeks worth was gone in about 35 seconds. We expected her to barf it up or for there to be a trip to the vet. Yes, she drank buckets for the next 24 hours. But it wasn't just rapid growth kitten food. It was rapid growth spaniel food as well. She was on short rations for weeks afterwards. PIG DOG.
If it's good enough for chickens, it's good enough for collies ;-)
