Thank you Foxy but so long as olfraud doesn't do anything untoward he's safe from me. I believe in soft handling whenever possible. The single jack is a last resort sort of thing!
Thanks Foxy. It was wonderful. It was cold, but not so cold as to be hazardous to the kids. There was snow falling, but no additional accumulation. The kids were happy and cheerful and totally adorable as they tried to sing and play with Daisy at the same time.
