Gold post

What about the Olympics?!  A-maz-ing or what? I'm not usually one for sitting in front of the TV and watching people trying to hop, skip and jump faster and higher than me, but I have to admit I found all those exertions compulsive viewing and barked myself silly (OK, silly-er then). 

From a purely selfish point of view, Andy Murray winning gold in the tennis was the highlight for me. Well, he's from my neighbouring city of Dunblane so I got to visit the Royal Mail post box that had been painted gold in his honour. Wowzah!

The Paralympics start tomorrow (Wednesday), so let's hope there's another gold post box coming to the Stirling area.

And I thought post boxes were just for peeing on...

I think new-kit-on-the-block, Archie Smart, was inspired by our medal winning equestrian team. So inspired that he attempted some dressage moves on poor Max - who was not amused.

Do I look like an 'orse?

It's only been a few weeks now since Archie Smart landed at Alphapet Towers, but it seems like he's been here FOREVER.

Butter wouldn't melt

He's even got Teddy-cat running away from him now but he's got a LOT of growing to do before he'll be a match for me.

I like to live life on the hedge...

So, that's all for now. Gotta go and help unpack our new stock of bone shaped dog bowls. Hmmm. Like the look of them. Wonder if I could acquire one for myself....
