Where has the time gone? They were ready for breakfast this morning and moving to 4 meals has concentrated their thoughts on eating a little more effectively. They are going to have to be completely cleaned out at least twice a day now. It has got past the stage where a partial clear out later in the day is enough. It has also reached the point where tabloid newspapers are fairly useless in the battle against the rearrangement of the pen and the only hope is to go through the piles in search of broadsheets to make up the bottom layer of newspapers.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Entlebucher Mountain Dog puppies 42 days old\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zr_7E5_P37A?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>And this from the same day in 2014 made me laugh<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>Too Much Time With Dogs<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>My Mistress knew for certain that she has\nspent too long thinking about dogs recently.
