Andestine, what a moving story. If there is ever a time when you need to feel your Dad near, you have a wonderful resource to help you do this.

I know of someone who breeds chickens and she tries not to name the ones that are headed for the roasting tin, but she also has young children who have a habit of naming everything. I have no problem eating yummy wild rabbit, but I'm not so sure about eating captive rabbit that would resemble a pet. I can't eat hare though.

Woodman, I swear that gorgeous dog of yours knew she was having her piccy taken and posed. I have a piccy of my friend's old Yorkie smiling for the camera somewhere. Yorkies are good at toothy grins.

Back on topic, eating anything that itself eats red meat is a Western culture no-no, so dog will never feature on the menu in the West.
