Loved this so much! I bribe/distract Babsy with what I call her 'Chantilly Kong'. It's a blue Kong and I bought this squirty meat sauce stuff in a can like squirty cream, aimed at chumps like me who will pay 12 euro for this kind of thing. Thank you for your wonderful words and comics.

Also I always thought I was a discerning shopper but I too am a prime chump around any things for Rusty, hence £20 mechanised lobster from an instagram ad :(((

Once again I relate to so much of this! With Ted woe betide anyone blowing a raspberry or accidentally making a trumpety noise.

Hahaha Rusty was clearly previously owned by a car mechanic who, at alarming inappropriate times of the day, would practise his "ffffwwwwiiiisssshhhh ohhh I don't know how much that will come to, Ma'am". Or a Tory and Rusty is a devout lefty.

😂 Unfortunately I feel Rusty's attitude towards food and property is distinctly Tory 😔 so it must be your first explanation!!

my dog Daphne is similarly unpredictable regarding sounds, here are a few things that drive her absolutely over the edge; utensils rattling in the utensil pot, the dishwasher door groaning, the sound of flowers being arranged, curtains being drawn, inhalers being inhaled, windows being opened, the sweeping of crumbs from the kitchen counter... as well as the usual hoover, hairdryer, etc. She's absolutely furious about it all.

How extraordinary!! It is a kind of shocked outrage, isn't it - how DARE these noises intrude into their lives. Despite the fact that Rusty nearly gives me about seven heart attacks a day with sudden barking. The sound of flowers and sweeping of crumbs!!! 😂
