yes Rob and the little dog is Kayleigh(I think).
Zeus must have a bottomless belly because he comes and has a fedd at my house too....and I know his owner feeds him well because when they go away I look after him - her cupboard is full of tins and pouches of catfood.
Hey, perhaps it is like us going out for dinner. What is served somewhwere else always seems better than what is on the home table
