A SPAGHETTI-LOVER STORY

Today let me tell you a spaghetti-lover story.

Ages ago Dearhubby and I decided to go backpacking on Greek islands with a couple of friends, and, of course Jolux, our very first furry baby.

Once on the island, everything went on smoothly.

We let Jolux frolic in the backcountry, and when in villages, we leashed him up so that he didn't bother anyone, even though the locals used to give him lots of cuddles and pats.

Unfortunately, for his meals we had been dead wrong, and we quickly ran out of dry pet food.
 Asking the natives where we could get dog food (dry or tinned) turned  soon  into a daily headache !

We were so bad at making ourselves understood that once we nearly fed our hungry little dog with stuffed grapes leaves ! (by the way, that's delicious !).

We were fed up, but Jolux was not !

So, one day, in an open-air restaurant, we were about to order, when Dearhubby had a bright idea.

He would order two courses : a Greek salad, and meatballs with spaghetti and he would give the latter to our dog, on the sly, of course !

As soon as the waiter had served us, Dearhubby immediately spooned the spaghetti dish into our dog's bowl under the table. That "trick " took him just a few seconds.

Hardly had he put the plate back onto the table when the waiter was back with some water.

When he saw the empty plate, he nearly dropped the jug ! He stared at my husband, turned round and rushed back inside to tell the cook to keep cooking, cause there was a guy outside eating like a horse and what's worse, awfully quickly !!

We were doubled up with laughter ! Under the table our little spaghetti-lover, his belly full,  was having an after-lunch nap  and maybe  dreaming he was acting in Disney  cartoon " Lady and the Tramp"...
