The boss has got a bit annoyed with me a few times this week.

Occasionally he's lost the plot and barked a few choice words; colourful language not usually heard around here, except maybe in the Tauranga Library.

New taste buds

The problem seems to have been my developing taste for new foods. For example, peanut butter – which would not usually be an issue – except that's what he uses in rat traps at the bach. He cannot see the humour in a Labrador running through the forest with a rat trap clamped to her nose.
The rats laughed so much they nearly fell out of the trees.
I've also discovered the all-time Labrador favourite: Avocado.
These little treats simply fall off the tree. He's trying to keep me away, citing weight issues for my particular breed. But I'm losing weight rapidly on the avocado diet… having to run away with them while the boss chases me around and around the tree. Looks like my Avocado Diet might be doing him some good too!

Too easy

Then there's figs, which I've taken a liking too. They are easy pickings from the low branches and go well with a bunch of grapes from around the back of the bike shed.
So there you go – my new found vegetarian delights. Not quite the diet that my friendly Mobile Vet Joerg and the girls have been recommending, but I reckon it complements my dinners of Ziwipeak.
Now, off to sniff out some more delights from the garden. Just need a friend with a crowbar to get this jolly rattrap off my nose.
