Between the Junior spending a month at Northwestern University and the man-child's baseball schedule, it's no longer possible. (Don't feel too sorry for me - I get a week in London on my own in July). Even when we come over in August for two weeks, the Ball & Chain is staying here. Not quite sure what we're going to do when we go to Colorado for two weeks over Xmas but I'll cross that bridge......Expat mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17798190669591053390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4327382592404863779.post-19245924217287741902010-05-11T00:49:03.578+01:002010-05-11T00:49:03.578+01:00I empathise on the dog voice - we go one better, t...I empathise on the dog voice - we go one better, the dog gives a running commentary on life in a special voice. I realised we may have carried this too far when I had a neighbouring child in the car and I said something in my normal voice like "Pluto says he wants a walk" and she piped up and went "Pluto doesn't talk like that"Catriona Linghttp://catrionaling.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4327382592404863779.post-30237808537251442112010-05-10T22:06:57.620+01:002010-05-10T22:06:57.620+01:00Oh dear........ it isn't easy training a pupp...Oh dear........ it isn't easy training a puppy and the garden bit would upset me!

I keep saying when we move back to England we'll get a dog. But the kids may be too old by then.... Actually I also am the least keen cos I know I will end up walking it, feeding it, clearing up after it, training it etc & am NOT keen to be the 'dogsbody'! BUT we are going to see a friend's dog's puppies this wk. Hmm......watch this space, they're supposed to be VERY cute.

And don't forget to use a Non-Bio soap to clean up any pee as regular sprays and detergents have amonia which guess what? Smells just like pee to dogs and cats and only makes it nicer to pee in the same spot over and over again. xMother Henhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01669942398455478155noreply@blogger.com
