I'm revolted and impressed in equal measures, Spud must have a turn of speed.

I've no idea how he does it - he's the laziest of the 3. Won't run to fetch balls, just lies around most of the time - but he's listening! He'll stare at the ground, suddenly start digging a hole and pulls out a mole. Or he'll disappear into the undergrowth and brings out a mouse/vole. Sadly, he and Ted catch birds too - which I hate.

He must cure your rat problem - if you have one. What breed are they, a terrier of sorts I assume.

Spud sounds a lot like our old fox Terrier he thought if we'd thrown a ball it was his to keep he'd usually bury them never to be seen again.

Rat heads are a problem when they're dumped on your chair - again Spud's work!
As for breed - who knows. Bess is supposed to be a Cavachon - Cavalier spaniel x Bichon Frise (or in old language a crossbreed/mongrel). She's pure white.
Goodness only knows who the father/fathers of her pups were as they were all black or brown or black and tan. I think she was a bit of a floosy.

^^^ does she take after her mother??

If you mean me, yes, we have a lot in common - we both have white hair!! Nothing else.
Speaking of which, I've just seen an elderly, white-haired lady pushing a pram with a little white dog sat in it. The dog had a bow in its hair and its owner may have had one too.

They say owners get to resemble their dogs after a while, don't they? Do you remember Clement Freud and Henry?

Evening all!
Back in1995, the word on the street was that Building Societies were going to convert to banks and that members of the Society would receive shares. I opened accounts with several societies, deposited £110 and forgot all about them. Had a letter this week saying that my account in Britannia was being treated as "Unclaimed Assets" as there had been no action on it since 1995, so this morning I went to the Bank to close the account.
Any guesses how much the £110 had become after 25 years?

£119.70
