A battery-powered can opener.

A battery-powered can opener.

Opening cans of food the easy way?

Or--am I just lazy?

Some people I know and love, sent me this can opener you many have seen advertised on TV and in mail order catalogs 3 or 4 years ago.

I thought it would work for a couple of weeks and then poop out. But.. It's still going strong and it's been in operation almost every day for years now.

The dogs start salivating when they see the opener and hear the distinctive sound it makes when working. I don't give them canned food all the time, just a couple of times each week. Their all time favorite flavor, is LAMB AND VEGETABLES, they also like the chopped chicken which I think is shown in this picture.

    I have always wanted one like thanhe one you show. Right now, I'm using a hand operated one, but when my hands are sore, it's hard for me to use.
Those can openers were advertised all over a few years ago. I don't know if they're stocked on the shelves of Walmart now or not.

I really didn't think I'd use it very much when it first arrived at the Post Office. I'm pretty sure Imogene's son sent it to me. He and I hit it off years ago when his mother and I were an item.

I think he realized how much I loved and cherished Imogene...

I have always wanted one like thanhe one you show. Right now, I'm using a hand operated one, but when my hands are sore, it's hard for me to use.

    How come you don't feed your dogs wet food everyday???..just curious here
I like to do everything I can to make sure those sweet old guys have the best nutrician I can come up with.

For example each week I give them both scrambled eggs cooked in Virgin Olive Oil.

M. and I cook a lot of chicken, and when we do, we cook the chicken with only a tiny amount of salt, and give the skin, the drippings, and much of the chicken parts mixed with a dry dog food like Gravy Train to them.

Once or twice a week they get Pedigree dry dog food..

Each day I give them both a small, cool glass of Dr. Willard's Water. (The clear kind).

They love plain old saltine crackers, and I give them perhaps one or two crackers each day. (They don't get more than one or two because of the sodium content.)

I cook everything in Virgin Olive Oil and they get the drippings of most of what we cook.

Many people leave dry dog food down for their pets all day, and let them nibble on it at will. That's not possible here because of all the insects and rodents attracted to any food--we live in a pretty unpopulated area next to a huge pristine desert area.

A lot of the way I feed my dogs comes from a lifelong of always having dogs living with me, and learning by trial and error which way of feeding them is the best....

Stretch Limousine even likes vegetables especially

That opener uses 2 size AA batteries and the batteries last an amazingly long time in it...

Those dog food cans from Stater Brothers are really tough, thick cans...After all these years of using that opener it now sometimes doesn't fully cut through the lids so I spin it around again.... I'm thinking the cutting blade can probably be sharpened with a chainsaw file... when I get a slow day, I think that's exactly what I'll do.

    Quoting  :

Geneva, when I first came on this site a few years ago. I knew nothing of computers. The sweet woman--Imogene-- I'd been with for 15 years prior to my arriving on THIS sex site told me straight out, "If you get a computer, I'll be gone..."

Imogene had been a charge nurse at a rest home. (She told me some horror stories of the suffering of some of her old charges too --stories for another time).

Imogene knew my HISTORY. So I never touched a computer until Imogene herself became too ill to live in this far away section of California, and went to live in a new home in Golden Valley, Arizona, where her son built her a beautiful small home on his property there, and his wife, Donna, helped to take care of Imogene.

I visited Imogene in Golden Valley as often as possible, and we talked on the telephone every day. We even talked the day she died. She'd managed to stay alive in Golden Valley for five long, uncomfortable, years.

Anyway the point of this extra long comment is that I went to Walmart some 60 miles --round trip--away, and bought THIS computer I'm still using, along with 3 huge books of how to operate Microsoft Vista. HONESTLY, when I came back to my place with the extra large box, and following the instructions, plugged everything together, I had to look in the books to find out where the startup button was.

When I finally got on the INTERNET and then a few weeks later joined this site as a gold, I couldn't get any pictures even of myself to download. I tried for almost a month, and finally actually MAILED in a picture to the site's office here in California along with the few dollars they asked for, for the site to put up the first picture of me.(I had already started writing a blog, and had one follower who kept asking to see a picture of me...)

Shortly after sending in that picture, I finally stumbled on the way to download pictures... So, Geneva, I bet in a little while you'll be putting on pictures left and right.

I want to see that little puppy! I've always loved dogs. My Grandfather had a huge German Shepherd named Bill, and people tell me I was probably too young to remember that beautiful dog , because I was less than 3 when Old Bill died, (and my Grandfather died a year later).

But, I do remember OLD BILL. He was the first dog I loved with the purity I've never really known until recently, in loving another human.

This comment is of course way too long. I do sometimes get carried away, and I'm a very fast typist, so please forgive me if I "talk" sometimes too much to you. I like you. A lot. David...
