Does @cesarmillan have a book dealing with men and housework? # I really liked *being a writer* yesterday. So much so that apart from writing I am on strike today. I should have decided earlier. # Kind of ironic that some Trump wannabe started following me today. I think that's funnier than the porn bots. # is there a fine line between writing fiction, exorcism and vengeance? \M/ # past the 25K mark #nanowrimo # must walk dog writing is making me evil \M/ # Dear Donald elderly women ... read more
How Our Fife Council Tax Is Spent
I stopped blogging again. It's like a yo-yo on this domain - get some peace, get some confidence, get some momentum and then BAM off it goes again. Silence except for the Tweets. I'll tell you what the BAM is - it's bams. Bams as in people. Let's just say that during the last couple of years this blog has attracted a few bottom-feeder readers. Instead of looking at it as a compliment, a mark of an interesting blog I seem to react by going silent. The latest bottom feeder is going to get a ... read more

Dealing With a Dog Attack
I have long felt that dogs are dogs and bad dogs are simply the result of bad dog owners. I have often indulged in a bit of judgemental talk and voiced ideas along the lines of it takes a person to teach a dog to be aggressive. I still agree with that idea, but I'm not so sure that all aggressive dogs become that way because their owners want them to - rather that they just allow their dogs to get away with it or unknowingly encourage it. I've never ... read moreLearning To Speak Dog
This is Logan. He is a two year old blue fawn greyhound and he is BIG. He is also our new dog and has been living here for six whole days. He was lucky enough to be living in a place where one of @'s friends (my friend too) works while he was waiting for a new home to appear. This friend happened to notice that we were enjoying our stint looking after Gemma and that Gemma's extended stay had prompted us to think about getting a ... read more
