‘Dogs are a danger’…I beg to differ..My response

‘Why would you be so irresponsible and put a baby in danger like this? I think it’s very worrying’

After receiving this comment a post I wanted to reply.

Yes, dogs can be dangerous and personally I’m not a big dog fan (sorry!) and I’ve steered the children away from dogs…that’s not necessarily because I deem dogs dangerous but purely because I myself would not like a toddler unexpectedly squeezing my nose- that same rule applies to dogs right?

But this doesn’t mean that a dog is ferociously dangerous…..it means they too, like us, don’t appreciate nose squeezes.

There are dogs in our extended family but it is still our choice to not have one, mainly due to time and commitment.

Lucy is a friends dog, she is a 12 year old Labrador, her nature is beautiful, she is calm and docile, placid and maternal. She sits in her old age and watches the world go by.

Yes dogs can be unpredictable but they also get so much bad press and are often tarred with the same bad media brush.

Again having a dog is not our choice.

But dogs can be a mans best friend.

Ms A has regularly, under our close watch, been in Lucy’s company, she is intrigued by Lucy and in turn Lucy seems to understand this intriguement.

Ms A has explored Lucy in a gentle manner, in awe.

Lucy has been familiar with Ms A since she was born, she’s been in her company and kind of watched her grow & they have slowly but surely made friends.

We would never leave Ms A in solitary company with any animal- regardless of whom the dog is, including Lucy.

Having said this I wanted to share with you the evident relationship that Ms A has formed with Lucy.

We would never put our children in a situation that would be deemed dangerous. Ever.

Should Lucy ever display any disliking to her company then we would act upon this immediately…

But certainly for now it appears that Ms A has found a very special friend indeed….they watch the world go by together.

❤

But what do you think…dogs, devotees or danger?

☺️ Really pleased at how the kitchen ceiling i ☺️ Really pleased at how the kitchen ceiling is looking! It’s been a long process insulating between the beams and putting up lining papering and cleaning down and waxing the beams but our hard work is starting to pay off and it’s looking beautiful. So many people advised us to cover the beams up as an easy measure but for us that was never going to happen, keeping the church as original as possible is our highest priority, it’s a stunning building, why change that? 
Our next job is to give the walls another coat of paint around the memorials we restored and hang the chandeliers central to the arches...then maybe we can think about building the kitchen 🙂

🦸‍♂️🦸‍♀️😷🍿🎬 We’re thr 🦸‍♂️🦸‍♀️😷🍿🎬 We’re throwing a ‘lockdown heroes’ treat night for the children as a reminder to them of how proud we are of them holding it together during the lock down. 
I made some printouts to set the scene and we’ll have treats and watch a superhero movie. 
This pandemic is so hard on everyone and it’s so easy to overlook how well the children are cracking on throughout, they are so resilient when it comes to change but it’s such an incredibly emotional and unknown time for their little minds. 

So this little treat night is a reminder to them that they too are hero’s in their own right and that we’re proud of the part they play too 💖
🚶‍♀️🚶📮✉️🌈🚪 We took a walk 🚶‍♀️🚶📮✉️🌈🚪 We took a walk around our neighbourhood and used the time to practice our colours by spotting different coloured doors. We took a photo so we could sit down and look at them when we got home too. 
A really simple, fun and educational activity, with the bonus of fresh air too 👌

**All the doors opened onto the main pavement meaning that there were not any front gardens or paths, so we didn’t trespass 😉
🌳📏Finding out how old trees are using string 🌳📏Finding out how old trees are using string! 
We used a piece of string on which we made a mark every 2.5cm along, we then chose our trees and wrapped the string around the girth of the tree around 1.5m up (5ft).
The then we counted the points on the marker and each point (2.5cm) was equal to 1 year. 
This tree is was around 52 years old.
