More
cancer news today, his time from the Beeb:
Actually,
this is not news. Our non-resident (well, admittedly he doesn’t see it that
way) Norfolk Terrier (Tommy the
‘technology’ terrier) clocked me as having cancer last November. How? Well, Tommy turns up when he feels like it to
chew the fat with the Dachshunds. Tommy
is well informed, embracing new technology (iPads, iPhones and laptops) - which
usually manifests itself as an uncontrolled lunge towards anything with an LCD
screen (so I guess he’s already up to speed on the Beeb’s article).
Having
previously shown absolutely no interest in ‘licking’, Tommy suddenly developed
an obsession with licking my hands and feet. I guess he could detect something
different. This is not surprising, as a dog’s sense of smell is 60 times that
of a person, and gets my vote as an accurate and low-cost mass screening
method anytime.
In
other news, Liv and Ed have been putting Brian
through his paces, in preparation for provisional licence arrival next month.
Recycling
bins make excellent (and safe) dummy cars for parking practice. Liv’s currently
heading the leaderboard, but as men are better drivers than women*, it won’t be
long before he gets the hang of it…….
With
all this controversial excitement, nearly forgot the Monday Mugshot:
*Memo to Tor: Oh yes they are! – who had
to reverse out of Broughtons’ car park last Thursday?
