I go through periods when I eat garlic, beautiful flavorsome raw garlic, and many delicious cloves at a sitting. Wonderful stuff! Usually I have it on bread with tomato pepper and salt, which happily, has been my lunch these last few days. Even Liquorice will eat some when offered. Keaton on the other hand, refuses my garlic-flavored treats. Even other treats passed with garlic-scented fingers are cautiously inspected, if not declined outright! Now this does not bother me in the least, especially when at mealtimes Dad provides extra treats to make up for those Keaton denies himself from my hand. However later times cause me some concern. Times such as when I’m cuddling Liquorice, proffering kisses, tummy-rubs or just playing with her; Keaton comes over to join in the fun and games, gives my face an instinctive quick lick and recoils in horror at the smell of my garlic breath! There is nothing subtle in his expression at all! Distinct dread mars his handsome features! To his everlasting credit the young master does not actually remove his presence from mine, however Keaton takes great care that his olfactory senses are not compromised by the loathsomely odiferous emanations of my garlic breath!
Things are crook when your own dog says that you have bad breath!

Liquorice – Garlic cannot spoil good food!
Keaton – Eeeeeeeek!
