Good Morning Early Birds!

[waterboatman]

Friday. Friends here for lunch today. I think they are coming to see the Wee White Tornado as much, if not more, than me, but WWT can't cook. She supervises! It's amazing how many trimmings 'accidentally' fall off the worktop, they never seem to reach the floor though! :o}
She goes back home tomorrow, I'm going to miss her. I've got her again in August for two weeks.

[Theland]

Morning Boaty and seasons greetings.
WWT sounds like great company.

[waterboatman]

Morning TL And to you my friend.
She certainly is. This is her second home. I love her to bits. ;o}

[Theland]

One of my sons has a Jack Russel, she too is similar to your WWT, and I also miss seeing her.

[TonyV]

Morning Boaty and Theland keep waking up early just recently then feeling *** for the rest of the day,

[waterboatman]

She's a Parsons Terrier. one up from the Jack Russel. Do you know the story of how they came about?

[waterboatman]

Morning Tony. I didn't sleep at all last night!

[Theland]

'Tis the season, to be feeling queasy,
Turkey and chocolate and booze,
The New Year, you might feel easy,
If sensible things you do choose.

[Theland]

Yes Boaty, we talked about this a month or two ago.
I learned something that day, and told my son.
Very interesting it is too.

[waterboatman]

Ah yes. I remember.

[TonyV]

You thought about getting a dog of your own WBM or are you just content with babysitting the WWO occasionally?

[Theland]

I would love one myself, but it wouldn't be fair on the dog, as my health issues would prevent me going for long, frequent walks. Sad.

[waterboatman]

I'd love one, but I'm out a lot to places I couldn't take one Tony. I wouldn't be fair. I'm happy rearranging to look after her. :o}

[TonyV]

Same for us as well Boaty when we lost last dog, decided not to get a new one, too much of a commitment.

[waterboatman]

Indeed. Our last one was an Olde English Sheepdog. Mad as a box of frogs! :o}

[TonyV]

ours was a rescue dog looked aggressive but never harmed anything.

[waterboatman]

Rescue dogs are usually good. They've been through a tough time and are grateful to be 'rescued' by someone who will love them.

[waterboatman]

If Snowflake sees a rat, that rat is history!

[waterboatman]

Coffee time. Back in a tick.

[TonyV]

yes Boaty Scarlet really appreciated her time with us.

[waterboatman]

You'll never have a more faithful and loyal friend.
