Blinks

6 years! It's hard to believe.

Bingley certainly doesn't believe it: he's still a big puppy who continues to measure life in terms of fun and things to be eaten. 

I have no problem having fun with Bing, but I do wish that he wouldn't think with his mouth. What goes in will come out, usually; and we had proof of that just last week. As a consequence he's spending this birthday on a bland diet; which, come to think of it, he was doing on his last birthday as well. So maybe it's his choice to have boiled chicken and rice as a birthday treat, which is fine - I just wish that he hadn't left us that present on the kitchen rug!
