So long and thanks for all the Chappie! ;)

The dog is gone. Despite the best efforts of friends online and off to persuade me otherwise, the dog has been found a new home.

Frankly, I dislike being a grown-up a lot of the time anyway and those days the kids are about as much responsibility as I can be bothered with. The sheer aggravation of taking the dog out for his constitutional had already lost its shine by some time Saturday afternoon. ;)

Shallow? Probably. Realistic? Definitely.

Not obsessive! See! See???
