I had a bulk delivery of kindling for the stove today. It came in a big cardboard box, delivered by a very nice man who gave Joy a small gravy bone treat, which she was most pleased about. I left opening the box for a while, then went back to it and found thisI think she thought she'd had a massive delivery of gravy bones!

In the queue for Subway I just heard someone say

“To be honest I got more blokes when I was fatter, it’s because they’re guaranteed a shag”

Thank god for masks hiding my sniggering!

For every family out there.

Love it - they are so clever

I love how the children's different personalities shine through.

Reuben just back from Playgroup , shattered and happy . Over the road from us lives Mia , a young Rhodesian Ridgeback , they adore one another so much , Anna told me that today they have never left one anothers sides , so sweet . Mia is gorgeous, a lovely natured girl , her owners have recently separated and as a Theatre Sister at Plymouth Hospital , her Mum has to work every shift she can to pay the mortgage so poor Mia is now left for long periods of time . When I see her owner , I`m going to ask if she would like us to have Mia sometimes , instead of her coming home to an empty house for hours on end , I think Reubs would be delighted

 

[SwampDonkey]

That's so kind, I hope she says yes.

 

[Ashley]

That's so nice Kate - I would be grateful if I was in her position if someone made that offer!

 

[Stacia]

What a lovely idea Kate, I am sure she will be delighted and relieved x.
PS Reubs might be overly delighted and you will have excited dogs crashing all over the house

 

[Loraseal]

I hope she says Yes.
That is such a nice thing to ask @kateincornwall.
I am sure Nelly will keep them both in check if Mia comes to join!!

And yet another smile . Watching our local BBC news tonight they featured a lovely man who is employed as a cleaner in the hospital but he also loves to play the piano for staff and patients alike . On the clip they showed, he was playing My Way ( and now the end is near ) maybe not the best choice

 

[Cath]

Hope this works, it made me smile xx

Me too, thanks Kate x

Actually managed to cut a few of Chewie's nails without him leaving the scene. Yay! And he immediately snuggled back next to me when I knew he had had enough.

Rowan was concerned that his friend had an ouchie. Bless.

Had a long Zoom call this evening with Bear's breeder and all the families who had one of Bear's brothers and sisters. Turns out they are all a bit bonkers . Even Sula, the breeder's pup stole a toilet roll twice on the call and was called challenging . And she's a dog trainer. Turns out recall around other dogs is a huge problem ( actually Bear is not that bad with this) and the painful mouthing of my arms I am really , really struggling with is happening with two of the others, too. And we are all struggling with general excitability which we think has a definite lockdown link.

And discovered today that Bear's grandad is Forest ( I was in a puppy haze last year and tbh don't pay a lot of attention to this stuff) so he is second cousin (?) to Toffee @SteffiS ? I love that I can see photos and videos of his mum and nan through the breeder but now I have another close family member to track drown and drool over!

I think @snowbunny mentioned that last year when you first saw Bear. Yes, Forest is Toffee’s Dad, supposedly the calmer of the Afinmore boys, obviously Bear didn’t get those genes . Luckily Toffee did .
