Newshound Ady & Flo www.sunlive.co.nz

The newshounds were given one of their most challenging assignments ever this week…to help feed a friend's cat.

Cats and dogs don't traditionally mix well at the best of times. Throw in the wildcard of a dinner at stake, and who knows what will happen.
The boss suggested I stay home and keep my head down. But being a Labrador with obsessive compulsive food disorder, I had to keep a watch on things, just in case:
1. The cat wasn't home and the food was being given away.
2. The cat didn't finish its dinner and someone needed to help with the dishes.
3. The cat might back down from the usual ‘stare down' match and forfeit the prize completely.
As it turned out I was barred at the last minute from attending the cat dinner event. Mrs Boss went alone to give the cat his food.
I warned her cats can't be trusted and should never be given anything, except maybe a short head start. But she wasn't listening.
Okay, so she was lucky this time and came back with her nose and pride intact, unlike some recent encounters of the newshounds. But mark my words, keep encouraging these pests and you'll never get rid of them.
Must go now, there's a fridge somewhere that might need skilled observation.
