Friends are the family we choose.

Ten minutes spent stroking a purring cat is worth a year of psychotherapy.

Life is too short for drama & petty things, so laugh hard, love truly and forgive quickly. Live While You Are Alive. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity. Forgive now those who made you cry. You might not get a second time.

To live in the hearts of those we leave behind is not to die.

It does. I only know one, and he has thicker dreadlocks - maybe the finer ones are for show dogs.

It looks like Dougal from the Magic Roundabout

Looks like a dishmop! 🤣

It's the Puli I like. I'm sure they are very impractical, but gorgeous. The picture is s show one, and pets would be unlikely to have their dreads as long as that, but they can be very thick (the dreads, not the dogs!) and I suspect they will be smelly.

I’d hazard a guess Doodledog that MrD is probably on the money there.

Bumface ‘Religion has been responsible for a great deal of strife and disharmony but great art works, literature, music and architecture have been inspired by religion’
May I politely disagree Bumface I would say that man in the name of religion has been responsible…

You raise a very good point for a theological discussion LN.
Perhaps I should have written 'man in the name of religion'
about the first bit about strife etc.

As for the second bit, I think that divine inspiration may have played a part in the creation of such works as Mozart's Requiem and Handel's Messiah.

Do they smell? I would love one, but Mr D thinks that dander would get caught in the dreadlocks and it would be impossible to groom them to get it out.

Mudi - intelligent, lively, keen, energetic, courageous.

My sister and her husband in Spain rescued a young Viszla last year (Hungarian hunting dog). Very affectionate. Known as “Velcro” dogs because they are so attached to their family.

Religion has been responsible for a great deal of strife and disharmony but great art works, literature, music and architecture have been inspired by religion.

Why does my local hospital have notices all over the place declaring ZERO TOLERANCE of rudeness and yet quite a few of the staff are very rude, especially the staff nurse in the fracture clinic.

When I worked in a hospital we were told that people are often not at their most polite when then are feeling anxious, ill or downright scared.

Oh yes, for me music is a vital language . Music and Art are the joys of my life. When I have a horrible night and a lot of pain I look forward to getting my precious china cup of lovely fresh coffee and sitting and listing at five to seven to Bach before 7 on radio 3. It lifts the spirits and helps me face the day whatever may come or go.

I’d like to relive my life.

Life moves faster as I age.

Books offer a hidden door into another world.

Ginger beer has been a favourite of mine since a child.

Ginger ale and lime is delicious.

Mudi - intelligent, lively, keen, energetic, courageous.

I’ve just looked up Hungarian herding dogs, there appear to be several types. IMO the mudi is the most attractive.

I like that Lynne13.

You've gotta make your own kind of music,
Sing your own special song
You've gotta make your own kind of music
Even if nobody else sings along

Ps. I wish GN would stop trying to teach me how to make scones.

Losing myself in a book has got me through many difficult times in life.
I'm overwhelmed by the beauty and wonder of planet Earth. We must look after it.

The more time I have, the less I do 🤷🏼‍♀️

Why are trouser hangers so badly designed that they tangle together in the wardrobe even when it’s not particularly full?

Why do pheasants at the side of the road see your car approaching and suddenly feel an urgent suicidal tendency coming on?

MissAdventure I bought my fake Pimms in Aldi as recommended by a Which magazine blind taste test. Half the price of the real thing at Tesco. One part Austins(fake Pimms), three parts ginger ale pour over ice, chopped up cucumber, lemon, lime, orange, strawberries and a sprig of mint. In a nice tall class with a bowl of strawberries and cream while you watch the tennis finals at the weekend.
We can virtually toast each other and pretend we’re at Wimbledon. Unless of course you are at Wimbledon and I have to pretend by myself.
