I have had a very successful (or as Mum would say naughty) day.  Harrier left some of his breakfast so yours truly did the decent thing and polished it off.  Bang goes the new years resolution to diet.  This was followed by me destroying a dog toy - acceptable as I am a terrier and scattering the stuffing all over the ground floor of the house, apparently less acceptable.  I did try to blame the collie but it didn't work.  The squeak in the toy ended up a little chewed.
