Where is the dog?

1 + 1 = 2? The Dog has never been that great at maths. Dave - pictured with Sammy in their "Lord of the Sith" poses for their weekly Star Wars night - thinks he's slightly better at it, but only because he can count up to eleven. One of the most baffling things for the Dog is the idea that "1 + 1 = 2". Dave tried to explain it to me once using apples. We were originally going to try to work out what "2 + 1 = 3" means, but Dave was hungry and mumbled something about that being terribly very complicated - and ate one of them. Dave tries to explain it all "So here's one apple. A tasty pink lady apple.", said Dave. "And here's another one.". "That's two apples. So 1 + 1 = 2". Job done Dave thought. "But what if one of the apples is green, and the other one is red?", I asked. Now that didn't make a lot of sense to Dave. He's colour blind for a start, like most dogs, so wasn't reall...

"No trainers" The Dog went for a little run round the park today, with Lenny, Bonzo and Poppy (pictured here in their finest fettle). Most fun, even though there were no rabbits to chase. Bonzo had his ball though - on one of those springy long stick things that makes it easier to throw. Fab. Pootling We then thought we'd pootle along to the Botanic gardens, where we were met by a very interesting sign: "no jogging". This started a lot of yabbering about it, us being of course, along with Dave (indisposed unfortunately today, away off looking for blue mice ), all founder members of the Dog Philosophy Club.  We thought of some difficulties with the sign: "jogging" is fiddly to pin down - when does it become "running"?; when does it become "walking"? What if you were chasing after a small child who was about to fall into a pond - would that be "jogging"? More likely "running". What if you were doing some...
