You know, I am beginning to appreciate that new technology, although it enables me to write a blog and share my thoughts and opinions with the world, does have its drawbacks too.
So I was all ready to greet Gail with the sad face, the droopy tail and the tales of hardship when she returned from her holiday in all those
unpronounceable places. The sort of looks which, one hopes, will make her think I had suffered greatly in her absence and thus guarantee extra treats and cuddles until the guilt wears off.
Imagine my horror then when Gail bounced in last night waving her smartphone and saying "Hey Bertie, looks like you had a fine old time with Yvonne and Neil while I was away on my bicycle tour. Wasn't it nice of Yvonne to text me pictures of you enjoying a family get-together last Saturday night?"
And then Gail not only had the temerity to show me some pictures of
her holiday, but also to claim there was no room in her panniers to bring home a doggy bag.
