Another week


... another peculiar photo, and no real news. Herbie is lumpy, Holly and I need more exercise, and this morning a large brown hare came running towards us at full pelt. It took the hare a few seconds to realise I was walking two greyhounds, and then it stopped with an expression that clearly said "oh carp" (to quote Dilbert) and turned. Herbie set off in pursuit, but he's not up to a lengthy run these days. Holly stood on her back legs and yelped with excitement, and frustration at not being off-lead.


The one piece of quite old news I have is that Raven, who had a full bone marrow transplant in Australia, has had a recurrence of lymphoma. It's sad, because I thought it would fix lymphoma for good, but obviously not. It's not available in the UK, and rare in the US, so Raven is a pioneer in many ways - as well as being an agility champion. My good thoughts go with Raven and her people.

That is a precious photo! Everyone needs a good ear sniff every once in a while, right?

I housesat for the last week. The family, in addition to 2 dogs, has a rabbit named Basil (pronounced like the herb) in a hutch on the deck. The family dogs are used to Basil and he can even run around the deck with them off-leash. But I wasn't going to try that with Buddha around.
