On the subject of companion animals - apparently the spirit of Sarah Bernhardt lives. On my way to the clothes line earlier I accidentally stepped on the very edge of Madame Le Dog's foot; NOT my full weight as it just slid off the edge of her paw.
But going by the yelp she let out anyone would have thought I'd stepped on her whole foot with all of my foot. And she just sat there so I enquired whether this was the part where she pretended the human had injured the poor harmless dog so that she was completely unable to walk...which got me one of her looks.
She might still be there but alas for her, a granddaughter called in & suddenly the paw was miraculously healed & Madame Le Dog was able to leap & bound & bark again.
Bloody dog.

in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
