Good Morning Earlybirds

[emmie]

good morning all,

[emmie]

more weird dreams woke me up, so now with coffee on the go we can start our morning....

[emmie]

come on boaty we need your big hammer to do away with these miserable spammers.

[waterboatman]

Morning emmie. Me big 'ammer is busy. Back shortly.

[emmie]

yes they are out in force. how are you this dark and cool morning, WWT still asleep?

[waterboatman]

I'm still breathing thanks, I'll know better when I wake up, about lunchtime! :o}

How are you?

[waterboatman]

WWT in her usual position, fast asleep lying alongside my thigh.

[waterboatman]

That's all the spammers I can see for a minute.

[emmie]

awake, but in some pain, my knees, feet hurt like blazes, and i have yet to find adequate pain relief.

[emmie]

Oh i wish i could see your wee white tornado, she must be a little darling.

[waterboatman]

She is indeed a wee sweetheart emmie...until she sees a rat. Then she's a killing machine. But that is what she was bred to do, and she does it very well.
She is the precursor the the Jack Russell Terrier. Jack was indeed a parson and dog breeder, he had a problem with rats in his church and decided to breed a dog to deal with them but be friendly to people. He succeeded, the Jack Russell is as bit smaller them her, and can get into all the nooks and crannies in the church.
