    Very cuddly labrador here too... not a whippet but a skinny working lab not a chunky show one.

    Mr KK would be amused (and approving) of how your dog protects your cats - that’s pretty cool 😎 ❤️

    What do you use to share pictures @KajiKita? I sometimes fancy sharing but some of the better known services no longer work.

    Sorry Ed, you’ve lost me. Do you mean sharing pictures here? In that case I make sure I have loaded the image onto my iPad (my primary means of accessing MSE) and then use the little picture icon in the tool bar at the top of the ‘write’ or ‘edit post’ screen. 

    Or do you mean something else?

    Loving yesterday evenings posts, such gentle fun :)  Really made me smile this morning. Thank you.
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!
