A butterfly watcher's tale (with a happy ending)

[Susie]

This is me and my dog when I was a nipper. I learnt to walk by hanging on to her, she was very patient.

I hope to get another dog one day, when the conditions are right.

That's sweet - you there with your teddy bear. Is that your older sister there above you?

Hehe, that picture was so contrived. I never played with dolls or teddies and only wore dresses under sufferance. I hated that dress, it made me itch.

And yes, I am that old that pictures were taken in black and white when I was a kid.

I don't have a dog at the moment (too much travelling) but my mum just got this little sod...Storm. He looks like a younger version of your Pooch, Guy
