[QUOTE="SaskiaKC, post: 2223816, member: 487111"] Two "hads" are better than one, in this case. English being what it is, you could have written "my dog had had spaghetti and I had had to make do ... " (with the emergency supplies). The fact that your dog had eaten the spaghetti (rather than had possessed it) would be understood. I might say, "That night I had spaghetti (I ate spaghetti), but the night before that I had had potatoes." At least, this would be the case in American English. :) [/QUOTE]
