Morning.


Easter Saturday. A day to go into the little market town and pick up the leg of lamb we've ordered from the butchers. Sophie, who is never the first up, seems to sense that the kitchen is about to become the scene of fevered activity. Her tail is wagging twenty to the dozen.


She is having a good hair day.


The same cannot be said for her brother.


The fur on his ears is smoothed down to make him look less frightful.  boy has to look his best for a trip to the butchers. Who knows? There might be tripe slivers. 


There is the usual morning pandemonium as leads and harnesses are fitted. You'd think that their enthusiasm to get the day started might have abated just a little. Not a bit of it. Why be quiet when the best day ever lies ahead ? 

This caught my eye :

  2. Why have they not worked out that The Best Day Ever would start more quickly if they cooperated with the harness routine?

    1. I can already imagine the twitter stream of snarky responses to that ad.

  7. It won't just be a best day ever, but a whole weekend of best days ever ! We hope you have some freshly made, home grown, mint sauce to go with your lamb.

  8. Oh, what happy sweet faces Bob and Sophie have. They definitely know something exciting will be taking place in the kitchen. How many guest will you have for Sunday dinner?

  9. Bob appears to have had a restless night of tossing and turning.
    Wishing you all a lovely Easter weekend.

  10. Perhaps Bob's bedhead was caused by restless anticipation of the trip to the butcher's. Sophie is sure to have a lovely afternoon of kitchen surfing.

  11. Bad hair may just give credence to the Orphan-dog-who's-never-been-fed routine for the for the Butcher.
