and that's about it for today, really. Well done Sainsbury's; though the roads around here are clear of snow, the track into the marina has a layer of hardpack over it. There was a bit of confusion, nonetheless; we'd assumed he'd come to the main building to deliver, and so we both went and lurked there taking our collection of reusable bags with us, and, being the same driver as last time, he went straight to the far end by the boat.
We had to walk back smartly to collect, but at least it gave us an excuse to pick up a couple more paperbacks from the free marina library.
We might well see Elanor and Sally visiting tomorrow; if so I'll see if I can get Sally to do the blog on the subject of dogs in the snow, and the vet's opinion that she's a bit overweight.

I'm impressed - we're up to about a foot of snow and 'commercial' vehicles of all sorts have absolutely no interest in coming our way!
Sallu, overweight? Diabolical slander (or is it libel!).....

She's gone from 32 to 37 kg since Elanor got her in June. Some of that is expected recovery after a long spell in rescue kennels, but apparently her waist is becoming a little indistinct, and she's been threatened with a visit to the diet nurse in the New Year if the present regime doesn't get some off her.

I think some of the charts of dogs weight per breed are way out and if you feed your dog as much as it says on the tin or packet it definately will get overweight. To me, a dog is the right weight when you can feel the ribs when you run a hand along the dogs side. You shouldn't be able to "play a tune" on them, nor should you have to poke the skin to feel them. Also, a dog should have a "waistline" ie the underside should go up towards the rear end and the bottom line should not be straight. Looking down on the dog when it is standing, you should see a waistline in front of the hind legs. If a dog meets all these conditions it is at the right weight. Failing any of them and it needs to lose a few pounds :-)
