My Dog and dirty doings.

Sable has been very funny whilst the kids were here. Obviously, having to take second place is scary for one who insists on 100% attention but she has gone to extremes to demonstrate how she feels. She kept a very close eye on them all the time. Any time she thought they were too involved with me, she forced herself into the group. Yesterday, Norma took her to the beach with Caroline and the children. Plot was to drop dog and visitors at one end and they would walk down to a pick-up at the other end. She went off quite happily but then realised she had no 'owner' with her. She came back. She was encouraged to go back to the kids and went but would not stay. She obviously thought she was being given away and was two paws into the rescue dog place. In the end, Norma had to do the walk with them but the dog still stayed close to her.

This morning, when they were off, they came to me for kisses and hugs. She saw this and jumped onto my lap and gave me a million kisses. All the while with her eyes towards the children to make sure they were taking it in.

So much for dumb animals! Huh

Now, this is very spooky. Even if one can resist conspiracy theories - I read and enjoy them as fiction but avoid the tinfoil hat - this could be very serious if even partly true.
