All know the way, few actually walk it.






After a day of storm enforced idleness Bob and Sophie's batteries are fully recharged. So much so that they wake at five rather than six thirty. ' The font ' who is preparing for next weeks astronomy exams volunteers to get up and look after them . '' I need to do some revision anyway ".  

Angus sleeps blissfully on until seven. He appears downstairs to find 'the font' surrounded by debris - yesterdays copy of Le Monde, now shredded - the contents of three waste paper bins, also shredded - an old tartan car rug that is in the process of being shredded - and various magazines that have been shredded, chewed , swallowed and then regurgitated.

'' Get much revision done ? " I ask.  The look that is returned says more, much more, than words ever could. By contrast the PON duo seem to be relishing life.

    We spend all kinds of money on toys for our dogs and ignore the fact they love tearing up paper the best. Even my 8 year old girl, Stella, just l oves to rip up the daily news. Who can blame her?

    The font must have been really upset to tear up all those things! :)

    Familiar here - yesterday it rained all day; I finally lost a library book (which I hadn't read) to a dog when I went into the other room...inside "business" done to the max because the hounds, you know, might melt if they go out in the rain. Glad you have better weather - and so do we today - everyone is outside!

    So has 'the font' deployed the time honoured 'dog ate my homework' excuse yet?

    Thank goodness none of the font's course materials were shredded.
    Wishing her the best of luck in her astronomy exams.
    I had no idea that Bob and Sophie actually ate paper......they really are the dynamic duo aren't they? My Brownie only shreds paper.
    Bob is huge!!!

    I assume she was so engrossed in canis major that she didn't notice canes minori .
