This morning‘s walk with #SophieFromRomania had everything – a film crew setting up, kids going to school, the bin lorry, the excitement of another dog to bark at furiously. And throughout there was my bad back which meant I had to stop every few yards. All in all I think she coped pretty well.

#sophiefromromania returned from her walk invigorated by hunting through the leaves and especially by her furious bark off with the two golden retrievers behind their front gate. The owner and I apologised to each other profusely but it wasn’t our fault!

Extraordinary events in the US - a civil war brewing which the UK media seem to have missed

This is a breathtaking abuse of the law and power by the President of the United States.

America is on the brink of martial law.

Do not be silent.

This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate.

First park walk for a while with the prof and #sophiefromromania who’s still spooked by the churchyard but was otherwise calm so we all deserved a #bigbreakfast

It’s bin day and #sophiefromromania and I returned from our walk - which featured a lively bark off with two golden retrievers - to find the bin lorry in our street. Once this would have been terrifying but today- despite the loud noises and hi-vis vests - she was totally chilled

On this morning’s walk #sophiefromromania and I met an admirer of hers we hadn’t seen for a while. Sophie wagged her tail, accepted a treat and generally was a very good girl.

Had a good session at the secure field though #sophiefromromania still needs to learn to play without growling
