Staffordshire Bull Terrier Husking a Coconut
Another day and another gift from nature, today its some coconuts delivered by my wife’s cousins as they pass by again. They didn’t stay long enough to husk the coconut for me. Which left me with a small problem, how do I actually open up the coconut to get at the goodies inside.
My Staffordshire Bull Terrier called Mable, which I brought from Scotland with me to Barbados, duly solved my coconut husking problem. If the task involves ripping something to bits or food, my dog is as sharp as a razor blade.
Mable is a smart dog and she knew there was something inside the coconut, which she could devour. She husked the coconut for me in about 10 minutes, I doubt if could have done the job any better or quicker myself with a sharp knife.
Unfortunately for poor Mable once the husking of the coconut was complete, I took over the task. I had opened a few coconuts myself back home in Scotland so that part was a synch, I got my hammer from my toolbox and broke it open.
I managed to open the coconut in less than a minute and it tasted dam good, I even spared a wee piece for Mable for all her hard work husking it. All I can say is I knew good old mable would come in useful at some point in Barbados.
