We recently lost a dog.  She was with us for 13 years, and was really
part of the family.  Until you've had a dog for that long, and a fairly
bright one, you don't realise how bizarrely rich the communication can
be.  I guess in our terms you could say she knew around forty words,
but she intuitively recognised a whole lot more actions.  I'm sure
she thought me spectacularly stupid on many occasions.

Anyway - I've been campaigning since then for a replacement, ideally
a mongrel with either German Shepherd or Rottweiler traces.  Something
big, at ease with itself, and healthy.  Yesterday, 'er indoors came back
with stories of a pure-bred German Shepherd litter nearby.  We will see.
