She looks very regal in that photo. I see that Tatze comes from the Carbon School of Very Serious modelling. 
Maybe we should reinstate our weekly Zoom training sessions and challenge each other to get our two to "smile" on cue. Or if Tatze already knows it, maybe you two could teach Carbon and me?

Well …
Tatze has done something she hasn’t done in a few years - eaten a sock!
When? I don’t know. She threw it up this morning. Her eating and poos have been normal, but for the last three or four days she has been waking really early - very unlike her. Lo and behold, we now know why!
Whose sock? No idea - I wasn’t going to wash it to find out!
Those of you who know Tatze will know that she’s has been (in the past, I thought!) the worst eater of inappropriate things on the forum. She ‘hangs on’ to them for days then throws them up. Once she at a whole lead (yes, whole, not chewed up) and threw it up five days later.
Butter wouldn’t melt

Yes - I am, I checked. Her inappropriate eating has always involved swallowing things whole

Tatze: "Whaaaat? Who are you looking at? As if YOU don't have any bad habits! At least mine came back up eventually. Bet you could even use that sock again if you'd just wash it. "
My OH still uses a running sock that was vomited up.Tatze: "Whaaaat? Who are you looking at? As if YOU don't have any bad habits! At least mine came back up eventually. Bet you could even use that sock again if you'd just wash it. "

Yes!
It’s very much a ‘sucky’ thing with Tatze. She loves sucking Teddy’s nose - but, of course, he’s too big to swallow!

Good thing it's come back out so it can't cause any further problems.
I just wonder how on earth they get them down!
Tatze is so lovely.

We did it!
I took Tatze for her very first train ride, at nearly nine years old!
We just went one stop and I took her to a station near where my brother works in case she wouldn’t get on at the other end!
Both stations have big gaps between the platform and the train, so I had plenty of CHEESE to lure her on. It was touch and go. She loved the platform and greeting people in the waiting room, we had about ten minutes to wait and we were all chatting so the others knew it was her first train journey.
She was fine and happy on the platform and didn’t bat an eye when an express train went through. When it came to getting on, she didn’t like the gap. I tried a few times then was giving up when the train manager came and helped me. She encouraged us both and we made it. Everyone clapped when we got on!
Tatze was fine on the train - no anxiety at all, and getting off. There was a fifteen minute wait and all was well - same scenario, she was friendly and winning folks over. She did hesitate and look down the gap but hopped on quicker than before.
I will do the same route (with the possibility of my brother saving us if it goes wrong!) a few times before we try a longer route.
A real adventure!

That's great news! I'm telling you, all dogs love a train ride. If not for the train itself, there are the people and the treasures they leave under the seats.
Hopefully the first of many travel adventures for you and Tatze.
