Lone wish you were my vet! Mine tells me off for the scratches on goon dogs face but I am at a loss to know how to stop psychocat hiding and then ambushing him. MAS It's the dog you should worry for! At the moment she is on hard drive of computer under my desk and he has sussed she is there, and is skipping back and forth just keeping out of her reach, around the chair behind me. Great game which they are both enjoying but it is quite hard to keep a train of thought going in my writing up when it is like a scene from a nature programme and I feel I should provide a commentary like David Attenborough. "As cat and dog play out their age old rivalry the cat clearly has the upper hand"......... Meanwhile relaxed gentle sweetiepie cat who doesn't wind him up has positioned herself so I have to stroke her every time I use the (computer) mouse.
Goon dog is actually very well trained when he wants to be, has an impressive vocabulary of commands and tricks, he is a rescue border collie, sacked because he was scared of sheep..............but he is definitely the biggest idiot we have had to cope with (Dad has long rescued them). He can tunnel under / dismantle a fence, no problem, (although I suspect collusion from the foxes. Chicken wire would not be a challenge, his greatest escapology feat so far (it is actually a fence war with the fox next door) was to gnaw through a three inch thick Clematis stalk and the huge climbing rose it was growing through to dismantle the trellising behind and then unweave the lap fencing (he mastered that trick as a puppy) all of which must have been done in shifts under cover of darkness or when my back was turned, since he normally rarely leaves my side for long!! I replaced the wooden trellis with a metal one and he found a way to bend that to get through!! I really do think that next I will find him revving his motorbike up and down the fence like Steve McQueen...
However I have been firmly convinced since adolescence that you can handle anything in life with the understanding and love of a Border Collie, and goondog is a star in that department, probably because he has love where the collie brains should be, no one with the possible exception of my mother has ever given me such unconditional love and adoration!
Oh well that bit of doggy indulgence should have distracted from a few more minutes of pre results angst................. As we keep banging on it is horrible waiting, worse than knowing, either way. I am actually much better at not worrying about what hasn't happened yet, since IT actually happened IYSWIM.

at MD. Very good friend has had it for 20 years now, started when her children were young, she is at the stage of the world being a very impressionist painting but she still gets on with things, even hiking, we got the vocal guiding down to a fine art. The big things are OK, it is small things like making sure knives are where she is used to them being in the drawer. However she is the jolliest person I know and had some of her quilts exhibited in a London gallery as part of the cultural Olympiad for the Paralympics.
