Going to wash the blanket...

     ......Joe seems to be a lot better after his "fall" a few weeks back.

All of a sudden he has started running-I couldn't catch him yesterday when I was trying to wash his face!

He is confident about charging DOWN the stairs, but still a little wobbley on the UP bit. 

And he is able to jump on the settee again, to nest in my nice clean cushions.

So I thought I'd throw his favourite blanket in for a much needed wash....

       Oohhh, now where's he gone?

        ......too slow, how did he know what I had in mind?

An enormous Herring gull....

     .....has just stolen my gardening glove from the middle of the back lawn!
      Unfortunately it was a plastic one, if he swallows that, it will be the end of him, but he was far too quick for me to stop him.
    The dog was asleep on my feet and never even saw the bird....maybe not....he knows just how big they are, and welcome to take any glove he fancies...
