Smudge is the Royal Cheese Taster. He has to make sure that I only eat the highest quality cheeses! He also makes sure that the chicken is cooked to perfection. He'd like to be more helpful, but as often as not, when I offer him whatever I'm eating when he starts begging, he'll look at me like I'm nuts. "Olives? Cucumbers? Chick peas? You EAT that stuff?"

Love, Columbine
