    Hey Red! Awesome post!

    I am severely allergic to cats and dogs, so regrettably I don't have someone "on the couch" for me, but I am still definitely an animal lover.

    The thing I am struck by with stories of animals like yours is the wonderful example pets set for us. Dogs with "disabilities" don't sit moping about the leg they no longer have. They don't dwell on what used to be. They get on with living and find new ways to thrive. They adapt to what is. And I don't intend to demean a person who's lost a limb or other malady, but the ability to be present, accept each moment as being how it's meant to be and just live. That is a recipe for happiness!

    Give Ella a good scratch behind the ears and an extra doggie treat from me!

    Looks like he is daring you to try and do anything about it, too.

    Cheers JP, they are special aren't they:)
    Ella certainly does enjoy a scratch behind the ear, probably because she can't do it she makes most if it when I do it for her

    The wee man sleeping off his special Birthday tea. 11 today. He liked his squeaky ball too but it seems to have disappeared already.

    Somebody found this Corgi puppy laid out in a shop surrounded by claret. They thought he'd been attacked and was hurt and bleeding...

    It turns out he'd eaten and entire jar of Jam and passed out on the floor in a sugar crash...
