I've been awake for hours now and so I thought I'd kick things off with a Good morning thread....or g'day mate to our Antipodean friends (I nearly typed fiends then).
May you all have a wonderful Sunday! Xx

Jenny, many years ago we had a toy poodle. My Mum had put about 20 different bars of chocolate on the coffee table, ready to hang on the Christmas tree. We went into the living room and there was a huge pile of wrappers on the floor. She'd eaten the lot!
In those days, nobody knew about dogs and chocolate, so we thought it was very funny, despite the loss of all the chocolate. She sat on the sofa looking very guilty and sick. We put a spare piece of chocolate near her and she turned her face away as if she couldn't face any more. You'd think she'd never do anything like it again, but the following year, we went to take the choc bars off the tree and one of the wrappers was empty - a finger of fudge - we've no idea to this day how she did it. The wrapper was still hanging on the tree, looking like it still had the choc in it. We'd hung the bars out of reach too, so she must have had to sit very upright and somehow untwist the bottom of the wrapper till the bar fell out. I'd no idea that dogs could be so delicate with their mouths!
