When we got hot days I used to either take the dogs out at dawn (I was up anyway) and sometimes late evening after the sun had started going down.

Morning all. 
Big black clouds,  but dry as a bone at the mo.

Not looking forward to the super hot temperatures forecast for Monday and Tuesday.
There is talk of  maybe  34 °,   which is far too hot for me, and the dogs.   
And yet I still see stupid, selfish idiots dragging their dogs around, burning their paws on the pavements!!   :evil:

Raven,  lovely pictures for you to treasure.
Years ago when I used to be involved with dog clubs etc,  they used to say that some of the  Border Collies with the merle coats and blue eyes were showing blindness,  and deafness too.   
It was linked to the unnatural blue eyes,  and genetics.

I can't remember it all now,  but there was talk about stopping breeding from the merles because of this.
Interesting though,  isn't it.   

I too,  put the Beddies coat clippings out for the birds.   I put it in those little wire bird feeder things that people use for Suet blocks.   
Earlier in the year when they start nest building,  they come and pull it out through the wire and fly off with it.   
I did read lately though,  that not to put this sort of thing out for the birds if the dog has been recently wormed or deflead,  as the chemicals can harm the baby birds in the nest.

Quote from: Silver Tabby on Yesterday at 08:59:39 AMApparently he's autistic and non-verbal, and the question being raised is that as he was supposedly with two carers, what were they doing? Whatever the outcome, he seemingly isn't able to "walk the streets" by himself anyway - but it does raise huge questions about his supervision.

Exactly.

care in the community predated Thatcher by many years. At their peak the five MI/MH  hospitals in Ewell had over 11,000 patients, Now they are all closed
