Things I think about when I should probably be doing more sensible things instead: how is it an average-sized dog can shed about 400Kg of hair in a 24-hour period, yet remain exactly the same size?

It’s a mystery!

Stuff and nonsense

We left our dog in Australia and it was about a year in Switzerland before I stopped finding her hair in everything.

It’s how they reproduce. Empty the content of your hooverbag, add water and electricity, and presto hey: new dog.

I was amazed by that factoid (400 kg, wow!) until I realised that you were exaggerating for comic effect. Aha.

It’s been a long day.
