We have been looking after a dog over the last few days.
It was a last minute thing after the owner was hospitalised.

What a pleasure it has been to have this lad. We have been walking
with him and have had so much real 'time' together, we have even been
out in the countryside looking in ponds etc. (we never do that these
days)

We have had NO cats in the garden fouling the freshly dug soil, that
is what I meant to say first.

It's going to be a wrench letting him go home.

Try a visit to your local dog re-homing centre... There are days when
I'd willingly 'lend' Oscar Underfoot, though!! ;-)

I know this seems stupid but we have fell in love with Rolf.
We have never had much contact with dogs since from our teens and he is
such a lovely bugger nothing else will do.
23.45 and just got home after a lovely evening walking and taking a bit of
fresh air and chatting. Not often do that!
