Well poochfriends, it's been a strange time. I've travelled, I've made
some new acquaintances and revisited some old ones. But the weirdest thing
of all is what Dad did last night. We saw a hedgehog in MY garden on our
way back from a walky... and Dad gave it a bowl full of tinned poochfood!
Very bizarre. Next thing I know, it'll be living in my house, sleeping in my
bed, sharing my sofa...

(dad: thanks for the kind comments and messages about our ill relative. only a matter
of time now, I'm sorry to say. When we 'disappear' from pbase again in the next few
days it will be to attend a funeral.)
