Written by my own paws - Mercy I was by the kitchen door while Daddy was up in his study. I saw him taking a plate of delicious grilled chicken thighs and a couple pieces of bread plus his big mug of coffee up the stairs. He always loves to work and eat at the same time.

We all know that pets aren’t supposed to have people food.
