Thanks for the messages and treats, lovely to hear from you again. Here we go................. . Here’s the latest from Chaos Corner Friday 6th. February Hello Everyone, Well, the U.K. seems to be well-prepared as usual for the snow; here we have been very lucky so far - saying that, my yard is a sheet of black ice. Belfast and Co Antrim had plenty of snow yesterday, we just had some wet stuff that melted as soon as it landed. I heard on the traffic news this morning that the A30 was blocked between Bodmin and Okehampton, that reminds me of 1978................. We were in the process of moving to Northern Ireland, Malcolm was staying in Holywood, Co Down while I was packing fo Ireland [lock, stock and feedbin] but that’s another story! I had been visiting him in Ireland and returned to Exeter airport on Friday night to find my car snowed in at the airport, fortunately a friend with a 4WD collected me and I stayed overnight in Exeter. On the Saturday morning we went to the airport and dug my car out. I went into Horse Feed Merchants and filled the car with food for the horses, then I set out for home. The roads were empty, quite well-gritted and clear. When I reached the edge of the city I saw a hitch-hiker, alone in a snow-covered landscape; I stopped and asked him where he was headed, he replied to Penzance, I explained that I did not think he had a chance of getting down there but I could give him a lift some of the way. Now, this young fella was about 6' 4" and from North America.......... he couldn’t see any problem with driving about 100 miles in snow! We left the suburbs and started onto the A30, all was well for a few miles then the road became narrower and narrower with drifting snow, by the time it came for me to turn off the main road to my village it was barely passable with my Renault 5. The young fella was by this time beginning to heed my warning that he would not get much farther into Cornwall. I left him at a garage to try to hitch back to Exeter........... why didn’t I take him home with me?!! I drove to our house listening to the car radio that informed me the blizzard had reached Bodmin Moor, I knew I didn’t have too long to act. I filled my backpack with frozen food from my freezer and set out to walk the mile [all uphill] to my parents farm, I did this twice. I saw a friendly farmer with a huge 4WD tractor and asked if he could leave the horse feed into me at the farm, this he did later in the afternoon. I left my car against a tree in the village and hoped it would survive! On Sunday morning when I went to go out to feed the horses I found I couldn’t open the door, I had to climb out of a window, I landed into 4' of snow!! It took me from 8am. Until 1.30pm to dig a path to the horses and feed shed, not to mention the house. Why, oh why, did I let the 6'4" hunk of young manhood escape back to civilization??? Next I discovered the telephone line lying on the roof brought down with the weight of snow, I climbed out of an upstairs window and hooked it back with an umbrella, then tied it to the window frame with baler cord! We were snowed in for 2 weeks, after which time I managed to get to the village by horse, hanging on to a neckstrap as my wonderful old horse, Chunky, leapt into and out of snowdrifts, by this time about 3' deep. When in the village I met a snowplough!! He wasn’t going to plough our lane, but in those days I was young and fairly attractive........ Meanwhile Malcolm was in Belfast convinced I was exaggerating the whole scenario, he announced he was coming home for the weekend, if I hadn’t arranged for the lane to be ploughed I don’t think he could have made it on foot. Typical man, he thought when he came home a lot of fuss about nothing, until he walked up the lane to get the milk from the next door farm and was met with a wall of snow 30' high, that was as far as the plough could get! That farm milked 160 Holsteins twice daily and the milk lorries could not get through, to begin with they delivered the milk to the cheese factory in tankers pulled by their massive 4WD tractors but they were forced to abandon all 3 in vast snowdrifts, there they stayed until the thaw, along with my Landrover which a friend had borrowed prior to the blizzard. The Landrover was buried on the A30! The milk was pumped out into the fields. We were still finding the remains of snow weeks later. So, to you friends who are marooned in rural areas, I hope you have enough food in the freezer, flour for bread and dried milk! I was snowed in for one day in Donegal, but it melted quickly and the wonderful Willy called up on his more than vintage tractor to check we were all OK. Molly has had her stitches out after the spaying extravaganza [had the bill this morning, better start selling on ebay........] Jess continues to improve, four kilos added since Christmas; she is a gorgeous dog [in my eyes anyway] she has commandeered me. Ruairi has been dry for the last few nights, poor little soul hardly gets out of the front door in the morning before he starts the mammoth wee! All dogs are somnambulant in various places around me, better get my act together and go back to the sewing! Here’s wishing you bereaved parents consolation; to those of you who have sick dogs may they soon fully recover and to Scoop’s family.................... keep hoping! Best Wishes to you all, to those of you in Australia I hope it cools down quickly for you and your dogs, those in NY and environs, happy sledging, to those here in the UK............. here’s to US!!

Nothing else for it, this is going to be a GANG NEWSLETTER FROM CHAOS CORNER! Happy Spring??? Bank Holiday to all my readers. As I write it is Saturday night and I was speaking to my friend [one of the Jackies] who took the little Whippet X Lurcher, she went to a Game Fair today with her and ran her in the Whippet Racing.......... her very first effort, slow to understand where she was meant to go but then.........................whoosh........ finished 3rd and just getting going! Molly: Wonderful as ever, her phantom pregnancy is over but I noticed blood on a teat last Saturday, mastitis... more anti-biotics! She is actually coming in season, the boys are sniffing about and their teeth are chattering like mad; Molly soon sees them off though, it won’t be long until she is banished to a stable out of the reach of the marauding males! Horatio: Lovely dog, being very good and loving. Bert: Mindless as ever! He has a Molly Fixation, if we did not know otherwise we would say that he had been weaned much too early. He spends as much time as possible SUCKING Molly’s back, he goes into a trance of ecstasy pummeling her with his front paws......... but......... when she gets to the ‘interesting condition’ he suddenly grows up - real problems for him. This time it will be worse for him than ever as Molly’s substitute, the late-lamented FLOSS R.I.P. is no longer here to be his surrogate mother. Tallulah: Thinking about coming into season too, she is now missing her ‘partner’ Floss, maybe Annie will step into the breach, though I doubt it; Lu and Floss were an item for years. Alfred: The Teddy Bear of the family, a big kind, gentle dog who lives to follow my husband around [they go on holiday together!] Tig: The mobile hot-water bottle, he was getting depressed about the pups taking centre stage and we had to give him extra time in BED WITH US!!! He is much cheerier now, he has been assured he is still TOP DOG. Annie: Settling in very well, she had not put a paw wrong until this afternoon when she CHASED MY CAT! Death at dawn was threatened, I grabbed a broom handle and chased her with it, she cowered away, she was given the lightest tap with it, you would have thought by her expression that she had been thrashed within an inch of her life. She retreated to the kitchen and has avoided eye contact with me since! She is currently fast asleep in the puppy cage next to me. She continues to sleep with us, all goes well until she leaps up on TIG who is under the duvet, then there is a growling session from ‘The Master of the House’, Tig that is!!! We then re shuffle round the bed and with luck all is calm. One night Alfred arrived too and landed on them both! I evicted him altogether so he trundled down to a visitor’s room and joined her - opportunist! Annie plays with a tug, she takes it and prods various noses asking to play, so far the only one to take up the challenge was Little Ruairi who was quickly defeated. She tears round the garden and field [just had slurry sprayed........................] she seems very happy. Ruairi: Is getting bolder, he has turned on Annie a couple of times when she took his tuggie, I don’t know who was the more surprised! Caíomhe: Is not feeling very well, this morning she had the violent gut-rot, fortunately the pups were in the cage and so it was not too drastic, the thought of that lot on the kitchen floor............ poor little girl, she is really off colour today. General News: The pups and Annie went to visit Elaine-the-Dog Warden to get their licences and be microchipped. Here in Northern Ireland we have DOG LICENCES! It costs £5 per dog and there are no exemptions. One can have a reduced fee for an OAP, but there are no block licences unless one has certified breeding kennels Ministry inspected. I believe that the reason there are so many dogs destroyed here is that if a dog strays and it is not wearing a collar and a current licence disc the owner is liable to a hefty fine or if any damage has been incurred, prosecution. Therefore, dogs are abandoned rather than being claimed, it is the efficiency of the system here. Ah well, Better get on here, time to feed everybody. Best Wishes to you all, here’s hoping your dogs stay healthy and happy and so do you! Lynda.

Hello to all my sympathetic friends on DS., I thought I'd try to write and tell you all how I feel with all these kind thoughts, poems, prayers and messages arriving. When I realise it is only a week ago today Floss did the Houdini trick and went off with Tallulah on the hunting trip in the disused quarry behind our house, it seems incredible she is now dead. We are no wiser as to what the infection was, but it must have been very severe as she was given steroids and the highest dose of antibiotics possible. She went downhill so fast we could see her dying before our eyes: we were incapable to do anything more other than keep her warm and keep her company. It was not a hard decicision to put her down, she would have been dead, I'm sure, within 24 hours. Mark, my vet. came to the house and told me we could put her on a drip but he thought it would only prolong the inevitable, I thought she had been quite distressed and I said 'Enough is enough'. I held her paw and she just drifted off, it was a matter of seconds. She is buried [digger ruined ANOTHER bit of the front lawn!] in the field at the side of the house alongside Bernard the Staghound? but that's another long story for another day. I read on DS statistics that someone has 43 dogs in their kennel, I started counting and realised that our running total including the dear departed is.......... 28! One day I will start scanning photographs and post all our other friends, until then I'll stop at 9. One other thought though......... our maximum no of dogs is 10.. that's the theory anyway....... for all you mathematicians that means we have 2 vacancies !!!!! I don't go looking for dogs they just turn up at our gate, are found wandering the streets, or the Dog Warden 'phones me......................... Again, thankyou for your concern it is much appreciated, Kind regards to you all, Lynda and the family
