richard's birthday


Happy birthday Richard! here is the official birthday photo to you from us -(I know it's supposed to be of you but we thought we looked better yesterday)

As a present specially for today, and in case we were planning on assuming Murphy was fine now that his latest paw crisis has passed, he combined continued head-shaking with completely refusing his breakfast this morning! Argh - he's NEVER done that! what could be the matter? Have I poisoned him by insisting he let me clean out his ears with the latest ear-stuff? Or has he picked up some lurgy on a walk, or from eating some rubbish from the track (previously a quarry so who knows what may one day come to the surface... not a thought to carry with you if you're dog-walking in the dark)

Perhaps he got a piece of richard's birthday chocolate log that I made yesterday - I don't know what it's going to taste like, I never read the instructions very well before I started so had to go back a step a couple of times, oops! By the time I'd finished I was practically head to toe in chocolate, just as well I wasn't trying to surprise richard (I suspect that'll come when he tastes it).

Anyway, back to murfs - I was so worried I came home at lunchtime, and was rewarded with the munster almost swicking a slice of bread and butter that was on a plate clearly too near the edge of the table... Whew! Appetites are never gone long in this household..
