The dog

DG expressed some surprise that the dog seems to have been rehabilitated in the Ha household. It is true. About 6 months or so ago we feared to leave the house unoccupied as the dog would go beserk, barking incessantly and depositing do-doos all over the place. Singularly unpleasant and often close to a hanging offence. One day we went out and the dog stayed quietly in her basket, wrapped as always in her masai blanket. No barking. When we returned home she was still dozing gently in her basket, no pee, no pooh. And so it has been ever since. Some sort of damascene conversion I presume. Or maybe she is slowing down as she sees the pearly gates in the distance. She is after all approaching 16. With such improved conduct she is now an accepted member of society. Even when the house was full of 30-40 people wassailing before Xmas she behaved impeccably. She is indeed a dog to treasure now. As I said, a real cutie.
