I've decided to go by Ashley, a Bi, NB Trans Woman. It suits my gender identity better and has the added advantage of of being both a boy and girl name for 'those occasions'. Don't get me wrong, I'm a trans woman and wish I could have transitioned in my teens, but here we are (see earlier post).

My annual request to all who are thinking about buying a dog as a Christmas present that will be discarded early in the new year.
First, get a rescue dog from a shelter, not a dealer.
Second, commit to them for the whole of their life.
Otherwise, don't get a dog. You don't deserve their love.

Our foster dog had to go into the vets this morning for dental work that required a general anaesthetic. He made it through his ordeal, having had a lot of teeth out. He's very subdued this evening, but I'm sure he'll be back to his boisterous self in a few days.

This is Scotty. He is not chasing his own tail's shadow. If you'll notice, he actually has it cornered. 13/10 (TT: lifewithscotty)

According to the weather forecast, this is going to happen in the UK next week. Time to break out the winter pullovers.
So, thanks to that arctic blast out of a frost giant's ass that hit this week, "Light Jacket Season" is officially over. Le sigh.

This time is year really gets me, with declining daylight and the weather being crap. It was OK today and managed to get little dog out for a walk in a local park, so that's something. Unfortunately next week we will be dodging the raindrops if the weather forecast is true.

Our foster dog asked to go into the garden tonight, as he does several times a day. But he immediately started barking at a plant pot, and then ran around the garden barking. Came in obviously unsettled.
We think an animal had visited our garden and marked it.
Seems he's very territorial.

NHS Dorset ICB is withdrawing gluten free prescriptions. We’re deeply concerned about the impact on people with coeliac disease and are challenging this decision.
Dorset residents: contact the ICB and your MP.
