GOOD MORNING JAMES

Hi Son!
This is my third post of the day - and it's just gone 8.30!
I don't want you moaning about lack of posts now, do I?
I don't know what's got into Lily and Rose this morning, but they're absolutely hyper!!!! In fact I'm lucky I'm still standing (well, obviously I'm NOT standing at the moment because I sit down to type, although that's not to say that I couldn't type standing up if I had to) because they've been chasing round my feet at a million miles an hour ever since Charles left for work.
Now they're attacking the mop again. This is one of their favourite games. One grabs the cleaning end and tugs quite gently to begin with until it falls onto the floor with a resounding crash that makes both puppies jump, then the other pup attacks the handle end and, if they really coordinate themselves they can then run round and round in a big mop sized circle. Actually this could be patented and made into the ultimate puppy exercise machine. It could be tarted up so that it looked less like a mop and had more puppy appeal, perhaps one end could be a bone and the other could resemble a chicken or a rabbit (not that I'm in any way suggesting that puppies should chase chickens and rabbits, it's just that they like eating them - out of a tin that is - and clearly not WHOLE chickens and rabbits, just chopped up bits in jelly). The mid point could be fixed, allowing the handle to rotate and puppies could amuse themselves for hours, just chasing round and round in pursuit of their prey.
I think I'll have a word with Richard to see if he can put his design skills to use here. We could be on to a nice little earner!!!
