Time flies when you are enjoying yourself.
Archie (Windwalker Follow Me Home – see earlier post) recently celebrated his second birthday in a way that only a whippet can: by meeting several other dogs, whizzing around in madcap circles, taking his “owners” for a long walk, then entertaining them by fooling about for an hour with his infuriating squeaky ball and finally collapsing comatose buried under a blanket on the one sofa he is allowed to relax on. Oh yes, and ensuring he received his daily biscuit from the postman – he can hear the sound of letters dropping on the mat from five hundred metres. It’s the highlight of his morning.
If only we humans were so easily satisfied.
