Story and Painting by Lehan Winifred Ramsay
The cat has taught him how to escape.
He taught the cat how to take walks, him on the leash and the cat darting freely and in return the cat taught him that it is not necessary to have a human with one to do that.
The cat does not know how to open the door but this old dog has now taught himself and I look up to find both of them have silently exited the house and are out on the road wandering freely and holding up the traffic.

Lovely Lehan. The dog of course can find many ways to escape we’ve found. Our Dana can or nowadays was able to get out of anything and would regularly greet us at the front door. She’s old now and can’t be bothered.

My friend’s beautfiul aged new care-dog is getting like that. He gets sparky when he sees a ute though and wags his tail like crazy. He jumps to his feet on their front verandah. Then he goes back to the recline position.

We grandmothers have been saying that for years. They never listen.

I always say; you’re not a grandmother till you self-proclaim.

Baby has a way to go before I am actually a grandmother.
