No android phone, no any sort of smart phone - just a small mobile which is switched off most of the time!

I did come across a company that supposedly shows television channels from everywhere including, so they said, UK television channels - for a rather large monthly fee - but when I checked exactly what they did show, there were no UK television channels listed. Another company offered a UK IP address... yeah, sure.

In any case what both these companies were offering is actually illegal, at least in Israel it is.

It is not really that important and a lot of programmes are actually shown in full on YouTube although I have no idea how out of date they are.

Mr Bronson on his adventures in the forest!

Mr B is definitely growing up! I love his jacket - is it a padded one that zips up along the back so you can clip a leash to the two D-rings? All kudos to Mr B for letting you put on on him - the one I tried on Thing went to Ram to give to someone who had a dog who would appreciate it!

No snow in your area?

Yes it's exactly as you described. He was a bit unsure at first but he's ok with it now.

There is today, but this was taken yesterday and didn't upload until this afternoon.

Mr Bronson's first adventures in the snow!

But where is his padded jacket and ickle booties? I mean you do not want him to have the sneezles do you?

I've got two very nice fleecy coats for Chico. Waste of money! He thinks coats are for wimps and if I put one on him he just won't budge.

The only dog I've had who used to wear a coat in the winter was Gertie the lurcher. Though sometimes I think a raincoat would be useful for Pepe when we have a wet dog walk as he takes ages to dry!

That's mad coz Mr Bronson turns into a statue when I put his coat on but then livens up when we go out!

Its a bit of a pain when he's only going out for wee's and poo's, so keep it for walks!

Anyone remember this?



After the struggles to put it on her is lasted all of half an hour before she got it off!

At least it stayed on long enough for you to take that lovely picture!

Eddie would never wear a coat. I used to worry about him as a puppy, sitting in a cold car when I was working Tweed, but he would get his teeth in the neck and rip the coat if it didn't pull off. Tweed only wore a coat for her last Winter.
Her Ladyship, on the other hand, rather enjoys the parading racehorse look. It is me that hates having to get them dry and mud free in time for the next day!

Sure, long enough to give me the stinkeye! And no, she does not have that long Doxie face - it was probably the angle from where I managed to take the photograph, and that beautiful throw she was on? Well that was what it was and it really was beautiful, but it has now been bundled up by the little booger to make a nest.

Ach - who cares. It goes in the washing m/c - goes in the tumble dryer - and goes back for Tikki to turn into a nest again.

Pssst - do not tell her but I have another, identical one, which has yet to see the light of day...

Sensible idea to have an identical blanket as a backup!

Though I imagine that even though it would seem identical to you or me, she'll be able to tell the difference!

Actually Janet it is not a blanket although it could easily be used as one, but I bought it, well, two of them, from Amazon as throws when I bought the then new couch [from the Shopping Channel here, although not actually seen on their TV channel but on their website]. The couch opens into a double bed but I can not do it nor do I really want to. I wanted a brown couch and it was perfect and I bought the throws to drape artistically...

...and then along came Tikki, dear little Tikki, who started pulling the throw down and now the throw is scrungled up at the end of the couch, so she can make a nest for herself.

And - the throws were not expensive, nor was the postage, but another seller had exactly the same throw for a lower the price but... they wanted £120 for postage?!!!

Mr Bronson seems to either like or hate this. I can't work out which?

I LOVE this advert. It makes me laugh every time!
Just like Eddie with his Kong squeak ball.

Seasons greetings from Mr Bronson!
