Drabble by Kevin Fagan for June 03, 2023

Look who’s talking Ralph.

OK then, Ralph — how about offering Wally a little variety?

Ralph you ever heard the phrase. Pot calling the kettle black.

I looked up how to make JELLY donuts, to much work. I found a Dunkin Donuts that is on the way to my gym (coincidence?) Anyhoo, last time I was in a DD, in Mesa AZ…they had no donuts, just coffee and it was old!

Poor Wally (& all pets) has to eat what you give him Ralph! I feel bad for dogs who have to eat the same bowl of dry dog crumbles day after day :-/

Back in the day, there was a children’s book called Bread And Jam For Frances.

Wally: “The way you can!”

calling the cattle black. :J

I wish our dog would eat the same thing every day. She expects variety.

Ours get mostly kibble, but the topping can be many things. Today it’s rice cooked in chicken bone broth.

It’s nice to walk into an eatery and order “the usual.” Had that familiarity with a steak place and a pizza place.

I got the cat the canned version of his dry food. He sniffed it and didn’t even take a bite of it.

Ralph may eat the same things every day, but he doesn’t eat the same thing every time he eats.

Wally: Yeah, where’s the bacon.

This reminds me of college. I used to get the same breakfast sandwich (scrambled egg and cheese on a kaiser roll) every day. After a month, the cafeteria staff started recognizing me and would start cooking it as I walked in the door, so it was ready to go when I got to the counter.

My friends asked how I got such great service. I said that it’s one of the benefits of never changing your routine.

Ralph is only treated well by the places he patronizes, not his family or their pets. That’s really sad.
