The bond between an owner and their dog is a deep one...

Lucy has had a favourite toy for some weeks now and they are inseparable. Meet 'Oddball', Lucy's most treasured possession. They go everywhere together and there can be very loud and long outpourings of emotion if 'Oddball' gets lost for example. 'Oddball' was purchased from a charity shop after a several week obsession with the film 102 Dalmatians, which to those less cultured of you is the sequel to the original. She is a feisty little thing and can regularly be seen hurtling down the stairs in our house for example. After a busy day the pair of them cuddle up all night and the faithful mutt does not leave Lucy's side. The bond between dog and owner is indeed a deep one. The holiday is over and we all return to work or nursery tomorrow. Anna, again, did not hear her daddy's pleas for a decent nights sleep and was a screaming nightmare last night. She has though had a very positive day with less stropping and has been in good form in the spring sunshine. Maybe the omens are good for tonight. It will be interesting to see how she is after going back to nursery. I have two nights in a hotel this week to catch up on my sleep. Thank you God, thank you so much...
