Little dog lost

Posted on August 27, 2014 by Gary

Premature eviction

I had today planned extremely well. The whole thing should have proceeded from hour to hour with all the precision of a Swiss watchmaker’s cogs. Bob was arriving this morning and I’d booked Taxi Carole to pick him up and … Continue reading →

My little princess

Posted on June 11, 2014 by Gary

My feet were killing me today. Following yesterday’s long walk, the last thing they wanted was to be wrapped in socks and trainers. But they would have suffered more if I hadn’t. We set off for the bus as usual … Continue reading →
