That's good news. Have a really good holiday and come back fighting fit. You're right about encouraging 'Mike'. I even acknowledged him a few days ago, simply because he was helpful and polite. I suppose I hoped that if I responded only when he behaved, he might take the hint. I shall not do so again. Hopefully, if everyone ignores him, or killfiles him, he will disappear from sheer boredom. Ta ra for now. Hope you have good weather. Spider |

Judith A good thing, IMO. Our Oscar Underfoot, the wire haired dachshund, goes off with monotonous regularity at the milk/paper man, Nursery staff coming into the house, anyone knocking at the front door and the postman. Some of these people are in and out of here every day but we still get the 'woofs' and in fact, we rely upon him to tell us that the papers have been delivered each morning! On Saturday, the papers are rather later than normal but today he was barking at 07.30 and when Ray went downstairs, sure enough, the papers and milk were there. He's a very good guard dog and that's a good thing, IMO. -- -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com Shrubs & perennials. Tender & exotics. South Devon |
