When cutting up meat on the chopping board – be that tenderising beef, dicing anything, or chopping Timothy’s own lamb heart, Tim would always get the job of licking the wooden chopping board.
If there were chunks of meat, he’d of course take those first, but he’d then lick every bit of the board that had any meat on it.
He’d take full charge of and control of the board – sometimes standing on it with one paw to stop it escaping, and sometimes he’d stand on it with all four feed – he’d look like he was on a raft!
He took it seriously though – he was completely focused on his job. He never returned to the chopping board – he always finished it properly, first time.
