Loves vegetables, does it?
Ash the greyhound and Jake the brown tabby used to turn up any time I cut up *anything*. It might be meat!
“Mao!” Jake would say, and then I’d look around to see Ash’s jaws at my elbow.
Rough fellow, tall fellow, swift fellow and slim;
Set them round o'er the earth, let them sail o'er the sea,
They will light on none other more ancient than he."
