DEER SLOP DOG

Bonjour Grann,

Bijou is a predictable dog. I keep a clean bowl of water down, with water taken from the blue barrel, and she still drinks from mud puddles, and will even run out to the pond to splash and drink water.

The deer slop, I'm starting to believe, is Bijou's way of saying, "Don't I smell dandy?" however, Bijou won't be bathing in the pond with me!

Even though she never misses a smoked or cooked treat she still manages to smell like rotting fish from one of our beaches. But I must admit that she sometimes brings back something useful like the giant crab she brought back, sat at my feet, and looked up, proud of her work, with eyes that asked, "Did I do good?"


Ma mere would say that my pants and shirt could stand on their own. I'm sure you've said the same Grann. I'm thinking it's time to build a bathing tub, something I've been wanting that's better suited than Kana for bathing and washing.

Sleep well tonight, Grann.
