My Toby looks very much like your Albert John. We live in a cul de sac and behind us after the local bowling green is the river. My Toby hoofs it over the fence and trolls over the farmland to the river, we think he must swim across it as he often comes home absolutely soaking wet even when it hasn't been raining. We get presents left for us under the dining room table often. Once I came home from work and there was a bloody eel still half alive deposited there for me to find. We have had wading birds in their entirety and then just a leg! I don't know how he does it. I wish I could buy a tracking collar for him it would be brilliant to see where he goes. The other Archie is just as bad, Basil is a home body, never happier when patrolling the section looking for invaders. He spends his life laying in front of the fire in the winter, so close I have smelt his fur burning and have had to flop him over to the other side lol.<br /><br />And on the subject of age, isn't there a saying you're as old as you feel? and another bit (or as old as the person you're feeling?)<br /><br />Don't ever change, it's why I keep coming back.<br /><br />Jo in NZJOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01654932887735045108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-80449419356699508272013-06-15T17:55:43.085+00:002013-06-15T17:55:43.085+00:00We are temporarily petless.

Misty is usually comatose for the night and couldn't care less, and Hobie (the ginger tom!), is so scared that he just pisses everywhere thinking that his scent should do the trick. It doesn't, but the kitchen stinks. Can you believe that I heard a neighbours cat one night, crept out the front door in my underpants, and waited outside the catflap with a hosepipe for when the thief exited?Garyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08255717931620460104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-72512928320446097052013-06-15T03:13:16.010+00:002013-06-15T03:13:16.010+00:00HA!

He also knows how to lock doors and once locked me out of the house.
