It's heartbreaking. Ziggy is the same, never fully relaxed until we are all home, jumping up to stand on one of the chairs by the window every time he hears a car door slam. <br /><br />We were told that Angus is Greater Depth too. It's all about which table you sit on. I was pleased but Angus of course could not care less.

What manner of sorcery is that?!?<br /><br />Speaking of Emma, we would have nothing to fear if she was stolen (providing the aspiring thief could get near enough to snatch her -- her charming cuteness is a clever disguise) as she would be returned almost immediately, I'm positive. Still, very, very worrisome for people with pleasantly-temperamented dogs :(<br /><br />Fab computer....it takes a bit of getting used to, doesn't it?

He loses all common sense when he spots one (if dogs have common sense that is). I have a roller for my plantar fasciitis. It is an instrument of torture but effective.

The sign at the gate said park your dog here. You were meant to tie them to a hook thingy We said no way. Not only was there a risk of being stolen, or someone hurting Tivs but she could have bitten someone of she was frightened by them and even if all those things didn’t happen, she would have made it known to everyone within several miles that she had ben abandoned.<br /><br />I hope your new laptop is behaving better then my sister’s which is playing up something chronic.Sue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6235841642149423068.post-46869512226060836162019-01-22T12:43:56.392+00:002019-01-22T12:43:56.392+00:00Good post and pictures.

It ran right over her head and she paused, just in case it lost its footing. I told her it would never happen but clearly I was wrong.

Over the years it's become several pages long! Well done on the new computer and I'm sure you're going to grow to love it.<br />In our neighbourhood, dogs get poisoned in their own yard so burglars can have access unhindered. We used to let our dogs roam outside at night, but now we're locking them indoors with us. Bad, bad South Africa!<br />Still, sad to hear that a dog was kidnapped and I hope the owners find it.

It seems like everyone loses. I'm glad you're enjoying your new laptop, it certainly looks nice. I've had my latest one for two years now and it's still going strong. I'd say it's my best one so far, out of the four or so I've had. I'm told it has really great speakers, but I don't feel equipped to comment on that. I like the idea of being a Greater Depth person. I wonder how they determined that. My daughter has learned that she is a kinesthetic learner, which is think is fantastic. She never stops moving, might as well get more than just exercise out of it!Jennifer Hayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685253944514672324noreply@blogger.com
