[Regia-NA] good linen prices?

[Kim Siddorn]

I've always thought that one of the important attractions of sharing a house 
with a dog or a cat is the shared amusement at each others eccentricities. 
Our  previous dog liked a segment of orange, something I've never known 
before in a dog. She would positively dribble for an apple core & eat it 
with eyes half closed.

Our old dog is fourteen now & is showing signs of what in a human would be 
euphemistically referred to as "confusion". She is old and getting a bit 
dotty - but that's OK, we'll look after her until she falls over of her own 
accord. At least you can be sadly amused at a dotty dog, not an appropriate 
reaction to the human condition we are all likely to approach in *our* 
dotage ;o))

regards,

Kim Siddorn.
