Puppy has restarted potty training. He seems a little more willing to cooperate now, rather, willing to 'tell' us about his #1 and #2 status. So far, he's done a few #1s in the potty, and a #2, although half of it went on the carpet. Thank God for a fibrous diet!

Onto more pleasant news - Ratty is now 20 weeks old, 6.89kg (15lb 3oz), 63.5cm (25"). She is smiling a lot and loves chatting, particularly in the mornings and before dinner, i.e. times when her brother isn't around.

Holidays - Going to Brittany was a good decision. Tiring drive, but I rather enjoyed going at 130kph (80mph) on the motorways with nobody in front of me! Driving on the 'wrong' side of the road wasn't as daunting as feared.....we hope to be back, so Lobsters, you have been warned!


'Wonder when I can sink my teeth into this?'


'Fresh croissants are worth waking up early for!'


'Yay! Make another one daddy!'


'Thoroughly enjoying myself on holiday'


'Of course you enjoy yourself, especially when Mummy is carrying you about all day!'
