oodles of poodles

Duchy college dog show saw many hundreds of the finest dogs in the area come to wish me happy birthday

stitchwort sideways

this shows this pretty white flower from an unusual angle. Their latin family name is stellaria, for little stars which is what they look like, and in this case holostea ... for making bones whole (because the stems snap easily and therefore ...). And if you pick it there will be a thunderstorm (hence thunder flower). And stitch for easing stitches. What a lot of dog-lore for one day.

Admin note:- Spot has recently learnt to read, and here is a very good source of information http://www.countrylovers.co.uk/blit/bukrev32.htm

poodle faking

In my mind this is taking interspecies cooperation too far; who would get to eat what? Mattie needs treatment, send her back. No, on second thoughts, may be not, the boss would probably have to be carried away in a strait jacket if there were any more of us.

news from the litterhood

fresh pictures from our siblings. Mattie (the lower head) has fallen in love.

Mrs Tatton Brown reports that Mattie did not win any prizes at her last show. What do they know who only poodles know?? For me she is still the prettiest of them all.

out of order

This is an unusual combination, scurvy grass and cuckoo flowers. Usually they are out at different times but the scurvy grass is a bit late and the cuckoo flower is on time.

So don't mess with me, huh. One mighty crunch of my jaws and I'll have your head off. Anonymous where are you?

(squeamish admin note:- Spot is still a little bit sore and probably couldn't catch a fast moving slug. He found this and was putting it in a litter bin (the Terrano)).
