Isn't that always the way?

I'm back to picking up dog poos in the garden...
We still miss Jasper terribly. It's over a year now, but I couldn't bring myself to mark the 'anniversary' or even mention it to Mr N - it would have set me off. As happened when I saw that the forget-me-nots I sowed in his digging spot (or rather the one he was allowed to dig in) had flowered. But on the other hand, we are really enjoying our freedom, even things like the freedom to jump up when the doorbell rings without worrying about setting him off, or being able to go for a wee within an hour of teatime without him assuming that I'm getting up because it's teatime and then whingeing for an hour. We can go wherever we want, whenever we want, and will be off on holiday to Scotland soon.
What a lovely attitude you have re. the dog poos. And your neighbours sound the right sort.
We never really get over the loss of our animals, if we have had such a good relationship with them. Kudos to you for fixing on the positives. Hugs and empathy for the rest.

I'm with you on that. For me, I think our loss will be permanent.
What lovely photos! You must be over the moon. Good on you. Absolutely wonderful.What is it they say - never walk with dogs and children?

This is my granddaughter L and her other gran's dog, P. Needless to say, L insisted on holding the lead. She then discovered a great new game - letting P get some distance away from her, then dropping the lead and watching the handle go bumping along the path until it caught up with P This didn't seem to bother P, but after a while we decided enough was enough and bunged L back in her buggy, which resulted in some loud protests!
Mostly I walked P while t'other gran pushed the buggy. Lord, I hate flexileads, I was all fingers and thumbs when I wanted him to be closer to me - I often ended up just holding the thin string. At least at nearly 13 he wasn't about to dart off in a direction I wasn't expecting and remove a finger...

Isn't it typical though, you can never coordinate both looking at the camera at the same time!
At a certain age we’re all entitled to our agenda. Was trying to show off - in this instance is ‘agenda’ accusative? In which case it’d be ‘agendam’ or ‘agendas’ (pl). Gotta go - it’s visiting time.True - P doesn't respond to his name because of his hearing, and L doesn't even respond to 'Whassis?'
