Best side<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

I thought I\u2019d let you see a photo of my best side. I\u2019m keeping my not so good side out of view as far as possible. Our Mistress has a disconcerting habit of trying to see how I am and it\u2019s not something I enjoy. I\u2019m pretty good at tucking my tail between my legs in such a way as to prevent her getting too close, but then she rolled me on my side and made me move it. That\u2019s parents for you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thinking of Dickens<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019d just like to send love to my brother Dickens and his family. Sadly this week he lost his housemate Darwin. Darwin was a lovely elderly Beagle and I know Dickens will miss him. When I say elderly, he\u2019s one of the most amazing dogs I\u2019ve ever known. He was Alfie\u2019s age when Dickens was born \u2013 or thereabouts. Bearing in mind Dickens is now over five that\u2019s some going. Darwin was the grand age of 17 years and four months and not many dogs can say that. Anyway, it\u2019s going to be hard for Dickens and his other housemate Dilys as well as their humans, so we\u2019re thinking of them all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tulips and Gnomes<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Our Mistress has been sending our Master pictures of the garden to show him what he\u2019s missing. It\u2019s in retaliation for him sending her lovely pictures from Switzerland with blue skies and warm weather. Anyway, I thought I\u2019d take the opportunity to show you my little garden too and of course the gnome that\u2019s moved in. The birds have shown their gratitude by leaving large amounts of poo everywhere. Now you humans will think that’s a bad thing, but speaking as a dog, I don\u2019t mind a little pigeon guano now and again so appreciate their gesture and see it as a good thing. One of those little ways that dogs and their humans see the world rather differently!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
