@Snowy oh and the mutt muffs sound hilarious, like that idea! He's already met the vacuum cleaner and was curious but just had a sniff and steered clear a bit, wasn't fussed eventually. Shat himself when I was drilling and banging putting up shelving though.

The greyhound family have a delightful nature. My (half) greyhound is affectionate, sensitive and is either 100% or zero.

to contribute to @Bones project Uplift the Bored, at long last my big mouth bought my eye a beautiful, fat smack.
Got it at a serious discount too after overbidding for so many years. Fair play, it was an exquisite piece of work and my knuckle donor had the good manners to call to apologize the next day. Not that it’s made the ol peeper look any less like Oprah’s vag.

Not gonna lie. Need a translator.

@Catogrande got punched in the eye for talking shit. Now my eye looks like a famous African American talk show host’s vulva. Probably.

If the dog one hopes it isn't a golden.

@nzzp hahaha. Openside. Basically made a career of laughing off punches, boots and the odd headbutt.
And of course there were no longterm side effects.

Not me, my plane or dog but you get the idea.
Our girl has serious issues with vacuum cleaner, actually cleaning equipment in general, brooms, mops, etc. Goes into full attack mode, barking, tries to tear the head off them. Hilarious and relentless. Drills and hammers, just leaves the room. Gunfire turns her into a quivering wreck.
Will be interested to hear how he goes at puppy school. I found it hugely entertaining. Some very interesting personalities out there...both the people and the puppies. The puppies were generally more predictable (and nicer).

He does that to himself.

I'll stick this here as it seems the most appropriate place.
Family funeral yesterday. Larger than life husband of Mrs M's uncle who had friends all over the world and in stage and television. Typical funeral but full of hilarious stories of some of the outrageous things he got up to (wearing fishnets and high heels when he was cabin crew in 1st class to see if any celebs noticed...), tributes from friends and more laughter than tears. Uplifting more than sad. The wake was something else.
But the thing is, as family while we knew and laughed at that part of his life we'd never really seen it. We saw a different Phil, who was quiet, kind, thoughtful, strong, great in a crisis and the first to offer support. His outrageous camp persona was real as was the quiet family man we knew, though.
He was just so comfortable and happy in his own skin no matter where he was. He had it sussed and maybe that's the secret.

@Victor-Meldrew sorry for your and your missus’ loss. Her uncle sounds like a legend.

I've arrived...

I'm working with a woman in our village on a fundraising project and she sent me this WhatsApp Thursday:
I am so sorry but I am going to have to postpone our meeting tomorrow until Friday if that is possible. It’s just that we have to sign our wills tomorrow as George has heart surgery on Friday, so we need to cover our bases
Hope this is ok
DawnFound it profoundly affecting, but her cheerful, "worrying won't make anything better" attitude when we met Friday (she insisted) was awe-inspiring. Surgery went well, BTW. The human spirit, eh?
Privilege to know her.
Posted the above July last year. This amazing women passed away today.
Bugger.

That sucks mate. Sometimes life isn't fair, but it's how we deal with adversity that counts. And clearly she was an example of how to do it

Sometimes those losses of people that are not actually close, but are just clearly good people, can often hit harder.. commiserations my virtual friend.
