<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Last night my older daughter came home for the
weekend. Of course, she arrived late and starving, I gave her a small loaf
of bread and some soup.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>When she finished, she brought her bowl out and
stayed to chat with me in the kitchen, where I was making my packed lunch for
today. After a couple of moments there was a thud. She had left the bread on the
table and Rolph had helped himself.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I told her what I thought of leaving it in his
reach. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Then, after packing up my lunch into a plastic
carrier bag. We left the kitchen to go to bed. I went round doing last checks -
windows, doors, locks, chairs on sofa, electrics off . . . hang on a minute.
Where's Rolph? Checked the garden. No. Checked the lounge. No. Checked my
bedroom. No. Surely not - ran downstairs to the kitchen and opened the door just
in time to see the last piece of my lunch disappearing down his throat.

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>And there was no bread to make any
more.*sigh*</FONT></DIV>
