Now I am off my diet I am begging for any scraps that anyone is daft enough to spare for me. So it was that I found my mistress eating a ginger biscuit. I didn\u2019t like the ginger biscuits that she used to eat, a bit of an odd taste but not that strong. As this was a different type and the packet are completely different I didn\u2019t really register that that was what she was eating. \u201cCan I have one please?\u201d I said. I do find it important to remember to say please. Well to cut a long story short, she gave in and gave me a corner of her biscuit. Of course I had eaten it before I realised just how strong a taste it was. I then spent the next five minutes coughing. My mistress took me to my water bowl and said, \u201chave a drink it will help.\u201d My response was to suggest she gave me something else to eat to take the taste away. That isn\u2019t a mistake I want to make again in a hurry.<\/p>\n<p>I have had a night at my grandparents, fighting with my mistress for a corner of a single bed. She was a bit fed up that I had got the rest of it and wouldn\u2019t even let her have a corner, but that\u2019s life when your dog is stronger than you! She gets the bed most of the time, I don\u2019t know what she\u2019s complaining about. Now I am supposed to be helping to load the car to do the final leg of the journey home to Belgium. It\u2019s more fun watching.<\/p>\n<p>It was more fun watching her wrap Christmas presents to leave here before she went. I was making helpful suggestions such as \u201cif you\u2019ve lost the Sellotape it\u2019s because I\u2019ve hidden it,\u201d and \u201ccan I chew this paper?\u201d I get the impression that this could be a really fun game if I were given time to get into it properly.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Why do humans eat ginger?
