Don't frighten the soldiers.


It can't be long before Sophie's 'Lenin' beard needs a trim.

Bob has been sitting  in the back of the car waiting for his sister to finish chasing 'invisible' things round the garden. His look makes it quite clear what he thinks about things.


This morning not one but two croissants. The pretty girl with the upturned nose comes out from behind the bakers counter and tells the PONs how cute they are. She ignores Angus. Not one but two croissants are brought to the table. Even better they're still hot.  Bob has a double helping of curved croissant end. He gives me his " I has died and gone to heaven " look. The pretty girl receives his " I loves you. I really do " adulatory stare. Sophie licks her lips .


In the village the local army regiment are doing fitness trials. Today we have scores of troops with rifles and backpacks running backwards and forwards along the lane. Their presence is of great interest to the angelic duo who maintain a loud commentary as each platoon runs by. Sophie stands on her hind legs and howls. Bob sits on his stump seat with ' Furry Fox ' clamped between his teeth and makes intimidating noises. Two military policemen sensibly move their control point from outside our gate to a quieter spot on the village green. The PONs are encouraged indoors so that they don't frighten the soldiers with their barking.



So starts another day with two lively dogs in a little village where 'nothing' ever happens.



Whoever knew there were so many types of Bok Choy ? :

Oh dear, Bob is looking ever so slightly grumpy, sat in the car waiting for Sophie. Pleased to hear that things looked up at the café!

Bob's field of vision seems to be cleared more than Sophie's, and I wonder if a trim would improve not only eyesight but behavior. Or perhaps that's overly optimistic.

Sophie looks especially appealing this morning. Interesting how her eyes are almost black while Bob's always have that amber tint.
This morning's saucer biscuit looks more interesting than the usual ones.

What a treat!! Pons charm wins them an extra croissant. I love them warm too.

A double helping of croissant ends, and troops entertaining the PONs, could put today in the running for The Best Day Ever! Let’s wait to find out what may go on top of their kibble at dinner.
