My human heard The Luminaries had won on the TV news (she has this massive book ready to read after "The Old Ways"), but only found out who the chairman was after she posted her comment to you while reading the judges comments online!

Even though he doesn't mention dogs, I am sure if he studied your movements long enough he would come up with an even better theory on how matter, or dogs that matter, move(s). <br /><br />I need to add, that my human has just got a book mentioned in one of your posts (The Old Ways) to read, so she might be quiet for some time if your account of what it is like is correct. In return, and in the interest of keeping our main food providers happy, if Gail is looking for an interesting read, tell her that my human was pleased to learn a young New Zealand author won the Man Booker Prize yesterday. "The Luminaries" by Eleanor Catton is set on the West Coast where my human's ancestors searched for gold many many years ago, so my human can't wait to read that book too, despite the novel being the longest book to ever win the prize. <br /><br />Woofs,<br />RileyThe Life of Rileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03042517508689233894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5030432357826707438.post-36205527631123140652013-10-16T01:59:42.003+01:002013-10-16T01:59:42.003+01:00We think he sounds like a very grounded guy.

Ergo, it is highly likely that Dr Higgs has a dog.

In fact, he is the same age as my owner, although my person shows no signs of becoming a physicsy genius any time soon!<br />Glen Tanar has always looked lovely any season, but I would never know, due to the fact nobody bothers to bring me there when they go.
