[AG-EQ] Guideon

[Tracy Carcione]

Wow, that's really smart.  I could use a dog who can open jars.  I often
have a hard time with it.

I think that I might have worked out how it is that Guideon, without
removing it from the table, can 
get a, firmly, screwed down top off a plastic jar.
I reckon that he has figured out that if he grasps the jar * just below the
top and clamps his 
spread jaws together, he can spring the lid off, thus leaving it, undamaged,
on the table, while he 
makes of with the jar.

You will be getting, heartily, sick and tired of my saying how, devilishly,
clever he is, but I *
thought that I really had him licked: note that I said * thought: past
tense!
I would love to be able to put anything that is, vaguely, edible back into
the cupboard: more of
that in a moment: but there is, simply, no room, so I have to rely on my
remembering to keep
everything on the table screwed or tied down; and in this instance, the *
everything being my
screwtop pot of honey.
Here entereth the past tense of think. I looked on the table for the jar of
honey of which, I was,
absolutely certain, I had screwed the top on, and screwed it on, very
firmly. However, of honey
there was not a sign, but it was possible that I had missed it in my search,
and as you are well
aware, when one is blind and misses something by a zillionth of an inch, one
might, just as well,
have missed it by a mile, so when Pearl came in, I asked her if she could
see the honey on the
table, and what she handed me was the screwtop lid, but of the sticky stuff,
there was not a sign:
not even a chewed up plastic container on the floor! How in the blue blazes,
had he got the
screwtop off the jar! Of course, I am sure that, at some time, I will find
it out in the
backyard!!!
and to expand on putting things in the cupboard for safety: a few nights
ago, I roasted two chicken
pieces and some potato slices for my evening meal, but only eat one of the
chicken pieces and a
portion of the potato slices, so I put the one that remained in the cupboard
under the kitchen
bench, leaving it in the roasting pan with the untouched portion of the
spuds.
The next night, knowing that all I had to do was to reheat the chicken and
roast potatoes, but when
I opened the cupboard, I found an empty roasting pan: well, empty that is
apart from the oil.
If it had been Guideon who had found the cupboard door open, and devoured
the chicken and potatoes,
he, most assuredly, would not have left the oil, so it was obvious that one,
or a horde of
free-living rodents had come in from outside! my
