W-A-L-K, PushkaDog

Yes, we have to spell the word out. If we are daft enough to say it aloud inside the house then pandemonium breaks out, as even at the age of 12&a-little-bit Pushka is still liable to start spinning in circles after her own tail or simply jumping on whoever said it. Or whoever is closest.

After yesterday's 'welcome home' chaos that passes for a motorway network in the UK a simple walk with the dog was sheer bliss today.
