Self-Sufficiency

The dog's kennel is not the place to keep a sausage.

~DanishProverb

While Ripley is a fairly patient dog (as exemplified above), he also is able and willing to help himself when he wants to. An example would be this week when Ripley found a can of SPAM in our office (why we have cans of SPAM in the office is another story for another blog). Somehow he opened it and crushed the can enough to get the SPAM out and ate it.

The office is also where Ripley's bed is, so the above proverb is very appropriate.

How he did it all without cutting himself, we aren't sure.

I guess it didn't do him too much harm, though. After all, what is SPAM? Pork shoulder and ham.
