Good morning, dear friends.
I woke up to a beautiful sunny morning. I started to watch the news, turned them off for a while so that I would not get so depressed and went to the kitchen for breakfast.
I put the chickpeas to boil in a normal pot as they were just a few. And then I came back with my second cup of coffee after shaming Luna for being so fat. In a month more I´ll call her vet to see her (maybe she even needs some shots) and I´ll ask her about her weight. I have seen dogs with all sorts ofhealth problems due to overweight when they are older.
I´ll use my mini pimer to make the hummus in half an hour more. The garbanzos are cooked but I want them to be less hot so that they don´t destroy the gadget.
Whenever I go to the kitchen I bring something to the table that I´m setting for tomorrow. I decided against using my best dishes. I have seen some being destroyed by a younger generation that has not been taught table manners.
In many places people are not even using a table for dinner or cutlery anylonger. I guess I´m too old. I don´t mean, of course, what happens in other countries where there are other customs.
I´ll read a couple of your posts and then I´ll go and make the hummus. See you.

Overweight can bring a lot of health issues, be it a human or a dog. Hope the vet can help Luna.
I totally agree with you that table manners and courtesy are so important and should be taught right from young age. Each country and culture has it's own .

I agree with you. I´ll call the vet and meanwhile I´ll give her less food. As for manners, young people now also lack with other good manners such as the way we greeted grownups.

@marguicha I totally agree there. In our Oriental culture elders were revered. That's not seen any more. These days they are quite casual and at times I feel that they are rude too. I think that it's a global thing now.

I make a garbanzo soup with pork haunch. It is very delicious.

@Tampa_girl7 I love legumes when it is cold. I don´t cook legumes too much during summer except when I have a barbecue and make a bean salad

Luna is just 4 years old. I think that she should be more slender.

I have always been interested in trying hummus but have not done it yet, I eat all my meals by my PC. How about a treadmill for Luna - then she can walk herself and get fit and trim
I sure hope that Luna can lose some weight if necessary I know it is hard for obese dogs.
