Bob has dragged Sophie's mattress into his own bed . He seems remarkably happy to have found a way of irritating his sister in such a creative way. As I open the front door he lies in his bed to let me share in the glory of the moment.
The two PONs follow me round the garden. They both, briefly, glow golden in the sunrise. Sophie then notices the owls sitting on the beams in the barn. That ends the days silence.
As we pass the church we can hear the choir practising for this mornings ten am mass. The church is one of those buildings that has been the object of make do and mend for the better part of nine centuries. Some buildings develop a much loved look.
Today's croissant a 7/10. Looks the part but could have done with another 30 seconds in the oven. The PONs glare at the sparrows who flock around the table in the hope that there will be some crumbs. Sophie ensures there aren't.
The bakers wife has had a bout of creativity. Strawberry swans an unusually theatrical morning surprise. She has forgotten the strawberries so they are more correctly strawberry less swans.
Aren't hot dogs supposed to be pork ? The burger restaurant has started to serve them with a beef sausage. What will the locals make of this American exoticism ? They understand burgers but hot dogs may be a culinary step too far.
Vets bills are rising well above the rate of inflation :.http://nationwidedvm.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/NWP-VPI0708182.pdf

that is definitely a look of triumphant ownership! YAM xx
If I am not mistaken, Jules & Jon are trying for an authentic New York street vendor hot dog. Sabrett's hot dogs are beef, and the onions, mustard and pickles de legumes (sauerkraut?) sound right - ketchup is a matter of taste. Bob does look pretty pleased with himself there in his duplex dog bed.
Very well done Bob. A clever extension made to your bed.

We buy all-beef hot dogs and have for years. Yay Bob!!!! That is one happy boy;-)
We were at Lola's yearly well dog check up on Friday: Lime and Fecal tests & shots for every darn thing. $265.00
The visit that hurts more is when I buy Heartgard and Nexgard; if you buy 1 year's doseage of each at the same time you get a discount in the form of a "gift card" from the mfr. The cost is still close to $500 though. I love my dog and vet but just lower the prices, gift card indeed.
Halal?
I was thinking, those swans look mighty yummy, who cares about strawberries, and then I saw the card that advertises them with strawberries. Doubt they moved.
We've helped send the Vet's children to expensive boarding schools in Sydney. Love the 'golden PONs'
Love the bed sharing!
All beef hot dogs for us whenever I buy them - Hebrew National, which are kosher.
Had to chuckle at Bob's making his bed a bit more comfy - A move typical of brother's!
