Oh my! What a big girl she is now! That's amazing, that progression of photos with the stuffed sheep thing/toy. Clever way to document her growth.

Do you sing her 'Meg of my heart' to the tune of Peg of My Heart? I would if I had such a lovely little puppy dog named Meg. She's so precious. (other readers may barf/k now)

My Alsatian is snoring up a storm next to my husband, who is not davetnova, as I type. It's hard to tell them apart! Their snoring that is. My husband doesn't have a wet nose and grass-stained paws.

Yesterday my Alsatian fought round 6 of his Neverending-Match with the Possum who lives in a flowering tree in the Dog-Run. The Possum also comes out every night to comb the yard and gardens for buried dog biscuits. It's bad enough that she's claimed the Dog-Run as her exclusive territory. She has to add insult to injury by stealing carefully hidden cookies and chewies too. My Alsatian caught her red-handed, or red-pawed I suppose, trying to make off with a biscuit he'd been saving for later and the fur almost flew. I heard an odd chattering noise and found the two of them squared off and making noises at oneanother with their teeth bared. She's nipped him before and how! Luckily, no bites and scratches this time out.

Please warn Meg about Possums and their sharp teeth.

Meg of my heart... la la la..
