    spud I would be one of those people that would say that about your dog....actually anything over the size of a shitsu would seem big as I am so little! I could probably ride your dog like a horse in fact :)

    You certainly have to be sociable to own one because so many people come up to us, not so much round here because everyone knows her, but if we go out like today, we have been known to have crowds round us :rolleyes:

    Not something we thought of when we got her :cool:

    I've been to the beer festival in Belgium as well - it's in (or somewhere near) Bruges. Went about 6 or 7 years ago. i don't like beer so not quite sure why I went, but they had a belgian cherry beer and a belgian raspberry beer which was really nice. Went on a coach trip from work and we stayed in Lille overnight and then went over the border to the festival.

    when you arrive you buy yellow or red tokens, one colour was soft drinks and 'standard' beers and the other was for the more speciality beers, meant there was no messing with money at the bar. Just cash them back in on the way out.

    It was a coach trip I went on too, it was great... It is a few years ago now mind!

    I wouldnt mind a bit Sally. It's just the same three lines over and over tend to make you :mad:

    We must've looked a bit odd today thinking about it, both me and DH, dressed head to toe in black with this great big black dog. I'm surprised anyone dared come up to us :rotfl: :rotfl:
