We are a dog-owner

Yes, the breathless world can stop holding its breath; the SMD has arrived. Currently, it is behaving very well; few little presents on the carpets; trotting outside (into the freezing snow) to do its jobbies; eating tons of food; and sleeping at night with just two quick excursions. So not bad. Also, it is enjoying exploring any room it enters, going round by the walls and under the furniture, and getting into the less frequented parts. This is turning up lots of fluff and bits and pieces that we haven’t seen for a while. It’s rather like having a free-range anti-static duster. If it ever stops still long enough, I’ll take a picture.
