New bowls

Rosie made all that mess on the floor, the rest of the house (out of shot) is totally pristine although struggling a bit under the pressure of having a new occupant who likes to shred newspaper and carry in bits of old stick from the garden.

Big Rosie news today was that she barked for the first time. Joe has a new approach of jumping out from behind doors to slap her and enforce his dominance. It was a good approach which seemed to be working, she stopped bouncing up to him wanting to play, instead lying down ever so subserviently while Joe lay in the kitchen doorway sunshine. Unfortunately for Joe, Rosie decided to try a little bark at which point he lost his cool, undid all his good work and ran off into the garden.

Benelia came to visit to coo over the new baby, and then Marie, Chloe and Teagan. And I did a load of work, wondering at my ever lengthening to do list. Will has got to the exhausting end of the constant pressure of the  first week at his new school, Daisy is just plain exhausted she announced.

Ad tonight is birthday night out number three with my Worthing lovelies. Dont worry, its not the  last one, more next week.
