The Christmas shopping is progressing well.  There is a pile of items out of reach, even of the collie cam.  I can only conclude that these are any or all of the following.  Chocolate - which we are not allowed as it is very bad for dogs.  Onions - also bad for us.  Presents for us that we’re not allowed until later.  Much as I’m desperately hoping its presents for us, I think the most likely contender is the chocolate as I believe that onions are not generally considered a suitable gift.  We may have to send Harrier and a trampoline in to find out more.  Failing this I will have to ensure that present wrapping is closely supervised.
