Also 3 eggs. The other one has flown off, probably for food or exercise and this one took over.

Well we've had our 10 minutes of rain, hoping that we will get more later

Essex is allergic to rain! I feel so cold.

Oh dear poor you @alp, so hate feeling cold
At the moment I'm feeling OK but I expect I will feel cold too soon.The trouble is that we get use to feeling hot during the daytime and then it's a shock to the system when the temp dips in the evening have you got a hot water bottle .............how I love mine

@Larisa A lot of people have dogs and yet not all of them keep them because of companionship, like Logan. They are like badge of status. Quite a lot of them look vicious. When I walked my son to school when he was 6, a dog suddenly rushed out very energetically and my 6 year old was so scared he ran into the street and the dog chased him all the way to the school and I gave chase. Thank heavens that there was a car coming. Normally, some parents drove their kids to school if they live far. The owner, another girl from the school told my son that it was harmless. Harmless or not, to be chased like that was no laughing matter. When my friend and I were walking along the park, a dog just jumped all over us, leaving paw prints all over my winter coats. The owner said, "He just wanted to say hello, by the look of your face, it's like you want to eat him!" How uncalled for was that. That's what they called add insult to injury! I love dogs as long as they are well behaved.

I fell into the same stories. Irresponsible owners release dogs from a leash. Once the dogs attacked my son on the playground when he was small. I jumped into the middle of the pack to close my son. The hosts took the dogs with difficulty. They said that the dogs were playing!
In general, I treat dogs well. My dog lived with me for 15 years. She recently died. It was a great loss for us. But she always walked on a leash in public places. She was small, but I thought she might scare some child. People take precedence over animals.
Always the owner is guilty.

Beautiful flowers!

Good morning to all!

@Larisa I'm sure Logan's dogs are well behaved. Trouble is most dog will pant and jump all over you even though you want to go on your own business. One dog even sniff at my friend back side!! How insulting and humiliating.

Hope to see yours and @MaryMary's flowers soon!

If the weatherman is worth his wages, your way should be raining now. It's going to be dry day here.

I'm going out to see if I have caught any rain in my various containers, such is my desperation!

 

[Logan]

The dogs around here are well behaved. There's a copice where i see a lot,off lead and very good. I always keep mine on lead. Dogs always check each other with sniffing bottoms, because they got scent glands there. It's all to do with checking to see if the other dog is better than him. They do that with humans.

I thought the dog wanted to see if my friend had wiped her bum properly! Or the dog had sensed the woman was in her cycle!

I went out and it was about an inch of rain. If no more in the next 2 days, I will be in serious trouble!

 

[Logan]

Yes a dog can tell if a woman is in her cycle.
It's raining.

 

[alp]

You're telling me. I was assaulted by one in Hampstead Heath! I don't hate them, but I'm not keen, but seeing yours and @Tetters , I have been softened a bit.

 

[Logan]

I can understand how you feel, but all dogs aren't the same. It's the owners.I'm glad that i can make a difference.

Morning all , sorry for reporting for 'hello' duties a bit late

In the middle of a housework session as we have a visitor this weekend and I'm working this afternoon.

We finally got our share of some rain last night, not sure exactly how much though, haven't had time to check yet.

Must also check on my Zinnia babies, it was there first ( and wet) night out in the big outdoors They were covered though so at least they didn't get a battering from the rain.

Have a Fab Friday.
