A Subdued Dude!

Our Ray is being a bit of a subdued dude at the moment, and we have no idea why. Continue reading →

Ray – The Book update 10

The book is in the very final stages before being released. I just had a long chat with my contact at Friesen Press, and am continually amazed at all the stuff I never thought about when publishing a book! Continue reading →

Nostalgia!

I was sitting at my laptop wondering about today’s Post as my “Post Bank” was empty, and I was thinking how photogenic so many dogs seemed to be. Although it surprised me (not having a history of dogs in my life), it really shouldn’t because they have no clue about a camera. Continue reading →

I really don’t think that he would distinguish (at least initially) between an intruder, a tree branch falling onto the roof, or something inside just falling over however, I am relatively confident that persistent barking would dictate a more serious kind of problem.
