I have been making further enquiries about new year resolutions.  Mum didn’t make any this year.  Given that most only last until the end of January we thought we’d give her a helping paw and proffered her a couple of suggestions.  No dog baths for at least a month regardless of who has rolled in what.  More dog treats within the guidelines of health and weight considerations.  New dog coats each on a weekly basis.  I was a little surprised that she didn’t feel that she could commit to any of these sterling suggestions and merely carried on knitting.
