Falafel.

Falafel or felafel[1] (/fəˈlɑːfəl/, /-ˈlæf-/;[1] Arabic: فلافل‎, [faˈlaːfɪl] ( listen), dialectal: [fæˈlæːfel]) is a deep-fried ball, doughnut or patty made from ground chickpeas, fava beans, or both. Falafel is a traditional Middle Eastern food that most likely originated in Egypt.[2][3][4] It is commonly served in a pita, which acts as a pocket, or wrapped in a flatbread known as taboon; "falafel" also frequently refers to a wrapped sandwich that is prepared in this way. The falafel balls are laid over a bed of salads, pickled vegetables, hot sauce, and drizzled with tahini-based sauces. Falafel balls may also be eaten alone as a snack or served as part of a meze (assortment of appetizers).

I've been out in the lane at the end of my garden today doing my weekly blackberry bush prune and sweeping up a few leaves.
Hidden amongst the bushes I found some branches off my shrubs.:(
Guess who has been snapping and chopping them off then hiding them?
Still no sign or news from PO.
I don't like to pester her as I know they are busy with more important things but think I will have to ring her.

Thanks Mark - so no meat - I think I would enjoy those.

Has they been any news from Yvonne about Misty?
I'll have to go back and check to see if I missed anything.
It was so traumatic for her and exhausting for me, that I after I ran errands, I came home and took a nap.

Poor Misty. She's just so very traumatized by going in the truck. She was a bit nervous and shaky in the vet office, but the truck ride was horrible. It took my daughter and I about 10 minutes to manhandle her up inside, then the whole way there she was trying to crowd behind me (the driver). Then in the office, she was shaking and panting.

The vet asked how long the lump had been on her side, and I said I had only noticed it a couple days ago. That really isn't a good answer because it may have been there weeks or months????? Anyway, he said just to watch it and if it grows fast it's not a fatty tumor and he can remove it (if I want). If it is a fatty tumor, it doesn't do any harm to just leave it there.

Then another traumatizing trip in the truck home. Poor doggy.

If they feel they can walk all over you, they will.
We don't like fuss, but sometimes we have to make a stand, even if it does cause future grief. :(

At least it doesn't seem to be anything serious.
Please send Misty my love and sympathy. :<3::)

Poor Misty.
Do you think he would have done a biopsy on it if she hadn't been so het up?
My sister's dog has several and they're not affecting her at all - hopefully it will be the same for Misty.
