We've been away for a week & when we got back, I opened a kitchen cupboard & found mouse droppings. Grrr. Itinerant mice are pretty common in Edinburgh tenements & multiple occupancy buildings but we haven't seen hide or hair of rodents since we got Jake. I started to empty the cupboard, which is the one full of olive oil & balsamic vinegar (obviously a mouse with Mediterranean tastes). Towards the back, when there was nothing to clear except a couple of glass jars of rice...The therapy dog

I found myself dealing with more unhappy situations with my 80 year old aunt last week. As she's in hospital at the moment, I took Jake to Tyneside with me as my therapy dog and he was brilliant - great fun on the beach, company in the house while I did various necessary and no-fun things. Dogs are GREAT. Jake is particularly great! Here are some snaps from the beach at the bottom of my aunt's street. Though it's hard to take pics while you're playing tug with sandy seaweed.2o2o

In our first proper training session this year, it was no great surprise that Jake's contacts had gone to pot. He was so happy to be at agility again that he was tanking round - and launching himself off the A frame & dog walk before any paws touch the contact points. It's my fault - we used to have steady, reliable contacts - until we sped up. And now, because we never cemented our contacts at the very start, Jake takes a flying leap OFF the dog walk or the A-frame. 2o2o is agility...Silent through the snowpocalyse

All quiet here for a while. Before Christmas I was spending most weekends travelling to help my aunt, who lives about 100 miles away. I bailed out of a couple of agility shows because of that. And then just before Xmas we had heavy snowfall. It was the coldest snap in 30 years, and the most snow Ive seen since I was a kid (when we had proper weather listen to me, younguns!). After four weeks we were thoroughly fed up were not geared up to protracted snow; our street didnt get gritted until...Prague or Venice?

Usually when we visit my aunt we drive. If the weather and traffic are good, it can be done in about three hours, but in any case it's tiring for me, the only driver. So we decided to try the train today. Not just for eco reasons! I wasn't keen to do the drive on my own this morning - it's pretty tiring, and I needed to conserve my energy. So Jake and I got up at the usual time and walked to the park, but then kept walking until we reached the train station. There were some excellent...Don't care if it is winter. I resent this coat.
