Obelixx, dogs aren't daft are they. One we had would find tablets no matter how you tried to disguise them. Many a time we would think we had won, only to discover said tablet dumped behind the feeding bowl. Another dog was much easier to deal with. Ask him to sit and give a paw, and he would then eat whatever was given to him.
Presumably unless the car was stolen, the police can now trace the driver and have words. If it was a borrowed parental car, perhaps they are also having words!
@KT53 the labrador is daft as a brush and eats anything. Rasta doggy is a cavenger too gven half a chance but is savvy too. Sucker for cat food tho. We'll get her yet.
@Lizzie - I hope both police and parents get them.
There was a young chap in our village in Belgium whose dad owned a garage and was daft enough to give his son a Porsche. He used to boast about how fast he could cross the bridge across the stream at the end of our garden - limit 70kph. His average 130+ until the night he was coming home from a club, under the influence, and killed himself and the Porsche and badly damaged his girlfriend. They had to cut her out.

@Obelixx Isn't that a standard description of a Lab? Years ago friends had one and I always let he climb up on my lap when she was a pup. They did warn me she would expect to continue doing that when she grew up and I was OK with that. It became more of an issue as she 'matured and filled out' ie. got old and fat. She still climbed on my lap - all 7 stone of her (45 kilo). Surprisingly, I got no sympathy from her owners.
@KT53 - Bonzo Lab ate 10 of my 12 hot cross buns at Easter - while they were still proving so raw. He didn't eat much the rest of the day and looked a bit uncomfortable. His first home was with a small bichon frisé and a Jack Russell cross so he has always thought he was a lapdog. Only weighed 18 kilos when we rescued him at somewhere between 2 and 3 yrs old. He's 11 now but still thinks he's a puppy and we keep him at about 33 kilos.
Bits of "If" go round in my head @B3. No idea why, or else pop songs.

@Obelixx. The people who owned the Lab on the lap owned a farm. They had a shoot one day and when they came in for dinner the joint had disappeared. One very guilty looking Lab made a quick exit.
What a beautiful song that is @Obelixx - If [ I know - you weren't talking about the song!] I love David Gates - his soundtrack for The Goodbye Girl was beautiful.[loved the film too] A rather underrated writer.
Having been self isolated for a while, and then 'muscle' problems in my rear, I've just got back out walking again. Oh how I've missed the steaming piles of dog s**t. There was one today - I swear, the ruddy thing must be the size of a small pony.
There are council signs everywhere stating that, due to the current problems, the dog sh*t bins won't be getting emptied, so please take it home. I feel like adding a footnote to them saying, what makes you think anyone will take any notice of that? They don't use the bins anyway.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
See those straight edges ?. I hate straight edges. 🥺 What's happening to me? I'm really scared that I might even scarify my grass😱 Anyway. That right angle at the right is going tomorrow! Talk about stygian stables why don't you? Every time I empty that forgoodnessake wheelbarrow he fills it up again! Is it too much to see an empty wheelbarrow now and again?
I knew a Welsh Springer who ate an entire Christmas turkey while his owners were eating their first helpings ... they were sculptors/bronzecasters and the turkey had been roasted in the furnace and Christmas dinner was being eaten by all of us artists in the big adjoining barn used for studio s life drawing etc.
When we were ready for second helpings the turkey was nowhere to be found ... and neither was Billy ... 😱. We discovered him after a bit in a hay barn ... there was very little if the turkey left ... and Billy looked very guilty.
He lay low for a couple of days but by the end of the week he was back to normal and was back down at the pub with us to see the New Year in.
