Bob is quick off the mark. He liberates 'Lamb' and is out of the door before his sister is fully awake. To make sure she knows her place in the hierachy he does a tour of the garden with 'Lamb' clasped firmly in his mouth. A protesting , and now fully awake, Sophie follows along behind.
In the little market town there is time for a quick run through the park before it gets too hot. Bob christens the bushes. His sister finds a small dead bird. She gets her own back on her brother by trotting along with this hideous thing clamped firmly in her jaws. Angus removes it from her as the PONs clamber into the back of the car. For such a small thing the dead bird emits quite an odour. It goes without saying that in PONland this gives it a value beyond measure.
Having been stupefied by the Brexit vote the French papers are now turning their attention to America. There is a sudden sense of fear that the US electorate may emulate the surprise given by their fellow Anglo-Saxons.
Three days of 110 degree heat forecast. The angelic duo now cram their days events into two slots. The morning six to nine thirty slot and the eight til eleven slot in the evening.
Ouwith these hours they're largely indoors. Bob rug surfs. Sophie prefers to spend her day gourmandising in the kitchen.
In the afternoon , while the dogs sleep, we go to a concert in the cathedral. This Schubert piece was amongst those played in memory of the victims of Nice. A perfect choice. Here it is.

I see Bob has that "Don't mess with me, sister!" look on his face again !
Over the years we have learned that the more revolting a dead animal, the more attractive it is to our dogs. Rotting birds a special favourite.
What a lovely story about Buster. 'A thousand hellos' is definitely a dog owners line.
Marlene and McConnell.
Buster look so handsome and proud, wearing his medals. Good to hear he passed away peacefully at home.
The cicadas were in full crescendo before 10 a.m. Sizzling.
Gorgeous Schubert. Must have sounded wonderful with the acoustics of a cathedral.
That's a great picture of Bob "on the lam" .
That last line regarding the memorial is perfect! How wonderful!
Stay cool!
Monty, Harlow and Ramble
Lovely story about Buster. I think Angus needs to invest another nine euros in another dou-dou. Or two.
If Trump makes the French nervous, imagine how we feel.
Thank you. That made me chuckle.
Yes, a 1000 hellos is as good as it gets - for dog or man .
High speed sister annoying.
Just right for the occasion.
It's getting hotter.
Guess all dogs, in their own way, are would be Busters.
The little Skoda now has that unmistakable dog owners smell.
The statement I hear most is " If Trump wins, I'm going to ( long pause ), I don't know what I am going to do! ".
I think the liberation of 'Lamb' by Bob, was very well planned!!!
Funny, my little Peugeot has too !
Trump as president? Greenland is looking good to us.
Bob is a perfect reminder of what brothers do best!
You no doubt know that the GOP convention starts tomorrow. A whole convention all about Donald Trump, how much bigger will his ego become?
The eyes of the world will be fixated on Cleveland this week. A week of lies presented as facts . Sadly. something that we Brits know only too well.
Patience is a virtue.
Until I saw what happened in the UK I'd have said no way.
Stop the world, I want to get off!
