Bob has the hair on his muzzle trimmed. The Old Man of the Sea look has gone and he can now see. A PON that can see is a calm PON. This makes trips into town much easier for both dog and owner.
The sunflower field next to The Rickety Old Farmhouse still hasn't been harvested. It looks like installation art gone wrong. The PONs find it ideal for long, noisy, games of hide and seek.
This mornings croissant an uninspiring 6.3 / 10. More like a white loaf masquerading as a croissant than a croissant proper.
The 'exotic foods' section of the supermarket shelves have been stocked in readiness for Christmas. American travellers will be able to enjoy a festive season with peanut butter and Fluff caramel marshmallow flavour spread.
With Brexit looming the number of Polish plumbers and builders leaving the UK to work in our little corner of France profonde has increased substantially. The local tradesmen are only now becoming aware of this new hard working diaspora and the competition it brings. To cater for the Polish arrivals some very 'exotic' items have made it onto the shelves. Surely, as far as the French ar concerned, there can be nothing that matches Smoked Sprats in the exotic food stakes.

I can't help but wonder at the things people keep in their basements. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPoVqIsQs5M

The elephant listening to Bach is very lovely - somehow, just the kind of thing we need in these crazy times (along with Beto O'Rourke). I had a hard time, however, getting back to work without continuing on to the "Up Next" video, "Grazing cows rush to listen to accordian music". Must be a thing.
The PONs should presumably feel at home with the new influx of plumbers and builders (who will be much missed by many of us in the UK).
In the areas where there are large numbers of Polish workmen, one or other of us often gets stopped to ask if they are Nizhinny's. There are wide smiles when we say yes. I have a feeling smoked Sprats would get a 100/10 vote from the PONs.
There is a book to be written on animals and music. Digby, a mischevious previous PON, used to go wild and hide cowering under a table if he heard Marianne Faithful singing. Non one else - just Marianne Faithful. Perhaps it was her laid back singing style ?

the sunflowers... brought up images of WW1 to mind... YAM xx
Headed off to vote for Beto today.
As much as I liked Bob's muzzle the way it was, his barber knows best. I've never known a dog who didn't love fish, smoked or not.
I have never seen a sunflower field like that - how spooky and very Halloween like.
Bob - looking handsome as usual.
Chiming in with my sunflower interpretation: They remind me of the classic sci-fi flick "War of the Worlds," all those extraterrestrial things taking over.
If Bob is now less hirsute, what about Sophie?
My grandmother hails from Latvia. We grew up eating the "cow" candy. Its more like a fudge.
Our Veterinarian was about thirty minutes away. With two dogs and a cat in the car, I soon learned music from the radio did not work! That is when I began to sing out of desperation. It worked! On fast songs, their tails wagged, on slow songs they listened quietly. That is when I decided all animals love music!
Those sunflowers don't look right. We've grown and harvested sunflowers before on a smaller scale, but those look like they've been sprayed with Roundup.
Have you seen the movie "Moonlighting," with Jeremy Irons as a Polish worker in London? It's from 1982. So interesting.
