On Cafés and Geometry...


When Gail suggested I join her for afternoon tea at the Long Dog Café, just a mile walk from our home, I confess I was a little hesitant.

After all I am more of a Square Dog. Would they even let me in?

Well I am delighted to report that I received the warmest of welcomes. As did all the other dogs and humans of various shapes and sizes who dropped into this busy new Aberdeen eatery on Friday afternoon.

And Gail says her raspberry Bakewell slice was scrumptious as well as artistically presented.

Oh I so wish my wee Doggy Godmother, Bicontinental Dachshund Tootsie, could have joined us.

Although the long and short of it is, with so many cakes and ice creams being consumed, the place might soon have to be renamed the Round Person Café...

  15. MOL MOL MOL Bertie just call me Diva Madi da 'fuss pot'! The truth is the truth. Oh and other things I'm fussy about is the towels mom places on the bottom of beds. If they are too hair (with my fur) I refuse to sit on them. AND I'm quite verbal when I'm unhappy
    Tons of hugs Madi

  17. Hi hi hi! Ojo here! I am very jealous! We are not allowed to go into the places where people eat! Apparently it's "unsanitary", and this is the rule. This is not fair. Can I come live where you are???
