It's now getting lighter and brighter in the mornings. We're fast heading towards the long days of summer. The lilac trees in the garden have survived the winter winds and are showing the first signs of life. Today, the weak sunshine has brought out the dog owners who stroll along the beach with their happy companions darting here, there, and everywhere.
There comes a stage where the owner tires of getting her feet wet and decides enough is enough. She ignores him and he is left to stare at the ball and wonder why humans can't pick up on the most basic of hints.
Venison Wellington in the butchers . These have, we're told by the butcher, been a big hit on Valentines Day.
The fancy ladies outfitters near the bookstore has a new window display. The laughing girl and the camel poster in the window has been replaced by something that we guess is probably Mexican. It most certainly isn't from around here.

...So the dog pointing and looking at the ball doesn't have the same effect as the human doing it, is the lesson here today...
And yeah, pandemics are what will be the proper demise of human infestation.
Happy Sunday everyone. YAM xx
I had the same thought - the dog in the picture is doing exactly what the article suggests humans should do. Just this morning, Charlie was using this technique to communicate that he would like to have "some of those bonito flakes up there on the counter" sprinkled on his breakfast. It did work for him. The last paragraph of the piece on the fate of Rome (at least the last paragraph before the subscribers only part) was quite disturbing. Although today it seems we are dealing with Napoleon rather than Nero.
Dogs and humans, who trains who?
Yes, it was clear to me that the dog on the beach had not sufficiently trained their human.
For dogs, hope always seems to spring eternal.
