No joke.

Infinte Grey here: I have also had a horrendous week and have come down with the mother of all colds.

Excellent Dog Skills.

Ha ha! Susccinct and well-reasoned. I think you may have more intuitive insight than most.

I’ve always wondered the same thing. I have no actual information or authority on this but I strongly suspect that they both would have undergone some testing...

Doggle pics are always most welcome. Thank you.

Same same. A good lesson to learn :)

But of course! All I know is, I am just a humble civil servant and Peter Manion MP is an excellent person to work for and be around and... he smells good.

Did they forget how a pub works? This is genuinely perplexing!

Husband’s British; we lived there for a while; your statement is truth.

You (singl. & pl.) get major thank you from me.

And she routinely gets called Dobby the House Dog (among other things) due to the ear situation and because she’s a sofa-squidge who is soft and I love her.

Yes! Here, they say, “just put down the damn food bowl!” ha ha!

You’re more than welcome. She’s a cancer survivor and has only recently been given the all-clear, so we are massively relieved. We can only imagine what you must be going through right now.
