Bark in the Park aka Dogs Galore!

Last Thursday I noticed an article in our newspaper - "More bark than bite in record attempt." It went on to explain thatAdelaide's "Rymill Park will become a dog park this weekend as hundreds of pooches attempt to break a world record.

Chippy was with me from January 2008 to mid 2010. Chippy used to love to sleep nestled within the arm of his statue, until he got too big to fit. Then he would sleep down near the coloured stones, close to the air bubbler. Going back several years, while the kids were still at home, I had Harley. A tiny orange (marmalade) tabby given to me by my daughter T. Harley had his own toy kitty to play with, rose coloured, so I named her...
