Ashleigh, I wouldn’t believe them either if I’d been bitten by a dog! I’m so glad I got over my fear as the dogs we have had were just such loving animals and enjoyed life to the full. Pity about the yoghurt …

Dorothy, I didn’t know a dog could be so fantastic until we had one.

Stefanie, the dawn chorus would be better a bit later in the day.

Table Talk, sorry about that cat. Cats are all very different and Lucy (our current cat) seems to think she is a dog – she would come on walks with us if we let her. I don’t like the sweetened yoghurt either.

Unfortunately, I've never managed to get over it. And I'm with you on the natural yoghurt. I can't imagine why anyone would want to add colourings and flavours.<br/><br/>Thanks for coming over to the cafe, by the way. I'm really looking forward to spending time with people there.

Your morning chorus sounds delightful, though I can imagine it can be annoying if you really want to sleep. I've got height issues too. I don't get dizzy, but my stomach starts to do flip-flops.

There's nothing like spending some quality time with a dog to get over your fear.

I love learning random things about people. I'm glad to hear that you had help with your fear of dogs, they're such great creatures. My mom never believes anyone however when they say "my dog won't bite" because when she was younger she was bit in the face by a dog on two separate occasions after the owner said just that. I'm off to Greece tomorrow I'd send you some yoghurt if I could! :) Thanks for playing! I love learning random things about people.

I'm mostly just pleased to see SOMEONE is still spelling yoghurt with an 'h'... most shops seem to have stopped now. These facts are always so interesting!
