Ah, OK — over here butter is typically sold wrapped in 250 g packets, likely about the size of that hunk of cheese. Yeah, I'm surprised he managed to swallow something THAT size whole, too.

Amanda never stole food, though. She just sat and stared at you with her sad eyes until you would give it to her.

*chuckles* Oh yes, I know that stare. Dogs are surprisingly good at it, aren't they? With some dogs (and owners), you have to wonder who's training who.

I'm still quite amazed that my neighbor's golden retriever never once begged for food or even showed any interest in it at all when we had a barbecue a while ago. Between grilled cheese, meat and sausages, you'd think he would've come running (and drooling), but no — he knew not to.
