With us everything is still crazy, Harvey continues to grow and has reached Great Dane proportions, I seriously doubt that we rescued a Dobie, he looks like one but he's just too large, he has stopped eating our furniture and ripping everything, we can now leave computers and iPads on tables without them being flung against walls. As a result of the dogs playing tug of war (Monty never took part, he's a lazy sod) Kia slipped a disk (with 12 she's not a young Doberwoman anymore but refuses to acknowledge that fact), so she's on rest at the moment and she is not very pleased about it and lets us know. The cats are very pleased to have a new dog slave and continue to taunt other cats (apart from having brought us another cat, a female stray, was already spayed so that's a good thing) while then seeking shelter underneath the Dobies and hissing at the "evil strange cats" Since March we have another rescue, a human one, a homeless guy who was very sick and keeling over, the dogs found him, originally we just intended to let him recover a bit and help him to get back into the system, he had that endless repeat cycle of lost job due to an accident, then lost flat as he couldn't pay the rent, without an address he lost benefits... After seeing how it works and how they treat them, we decided to just let him stay a bit longer and he's actually fabulous, started to decorate and renovate the house when he felt better because he said he's so grateful, he had given up. The only problem is that he's a bit of a magpie and drags in all sorts of stuff he thought could be useful for us, but I really don't want to use cooking utensils from heaven knows where and I got all the mixers and blenders I could possibly need, but I understand that if you lived on the streets for 3 years, you see things a bit differently and possessions are security. Apart from that, having him around is really good, because my godmother had a stroke early this year and I'm flying a lot to see her, so I always got somebody to look after the dogs while I'm away and other half doesn't need to take time off. So the usual madness continues
