In fact now I think about it, it probably has a lot to do with stationery! Anyway - my September resolutions are to get back to posting on my blog! Just never seems to be enough hours in the day!

He had been sleeping on our log pile for a week or so during the day and we assumed he was just put out in the morning and let back in at night. He was clearly traumatised by the treatment he had received before being.
