So every 3 or 4 mouthfuls of dinner, Dino has to go to his window and lick his salt lick and then have a mouthful of water. One side effect of this routine is that speedibeet gets kinda everywhere*, including the outside of the window sill…a fact little Harry next door is learning to make the most of! There’s always a very cleanly licked portion of the windowsill where Harry can reach.

*especially in his water feeder! He has an automatic one as the useless yard people have been known to not fill water buckets sufficiently but this does mean I spend a certain amount of time each weekend cleaning bloody sugarbeet out of the damned thing. It’s kinda gross.
