Dogs don\u2019t use power tools. For some reason humans don\u2019t think we\u2019d be safe with them. I think different breeds of dog would use them in different ways, but that\u2019s another story. Can you imagine letting a Jack Russell loose with drill? Humans on the other paw are also probably not safe, but that\u2019s not the point I want to make. With some humans (naming no names) having power tools is more important than using them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A while ago Mum needed something drilling. She is not a fan of power tools as she doesn\u2019t trust herself. She thinks she\u2019s clumsy, I just think there\u2019s a risk she\u2019d go crazy with them, but be that as it may. She found a drill in the garage and asked Dad to help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After careful consideration, Dad concluded that the drill needed a special tool to change the drill bit and he didn\u2019t have one. He apologised and said his main drill was in Switzerland. For the record he doesn\u2019t use it there, it\u2019s just there in case he needs it. Anyway, not wanting this to become a shaggy dog story, yesterday when packing, Mum found another drill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It wasn\u2019t in the shed where the tools live. It wasn\u2019t under the stairs where the other tools live. Oh no, it was in the bottom of Dad\u2019s wardrobe. Why it was there no one knows \u2013 not even Dad. The good news is that it doesn\u2019t need a special tool to change the drill bit \u2013 but sadly Mum can\u2019t actually remember what it was that needed drilling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At heart I am essentially an outdoor dog. I love the back door being open in the summer. Ari loves it too. Whereas he lies on the floor just inside the back door looking out, I prefer to stretch out on the paving outside and look in. I am happy there for ages just letting the world go by and listening to what\u2019s going on. Mum has promised she\u2019ll sort a spot out where I can do that after we move, but has said it won\u2019t be like that to begin with, which will be a shame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
