Good grief Buster, you were meant to be on the blog.

His photo has dissapeared and as there is a day here to be getting on with I shant spend any more time on it!   I thought Id share a couple; nay, trice quotes with you. We shall start with the shortest then progress to the longest. As this isnt `Fish on friday` the shortest is the biblical one.

A living dog is better than a dead lion. The Bible

The dog is a gentleman; I hope to go to his heaven, not mans. Mark Twain.

the great pleasure of a dog is that you may make a fool of yourself with him and not only will he not scold you, but he will make a fool of himself too. Samual  Butler                                                                                                                                                                             

** This is Busters ` I can do draft excluder!`

 The 1st quote has provoked Mr Nebblesworth out of his slumber to retort; `A dead lion makes a better draft excluder than a living dog.
