I have only had cats for years now.  @tyme  Reading about your pup reminds me of pups I’ve had over the time and the total mayhem they have caused.  There are sooo funny though, kinder makes up for the mischief they get into.

Few different people where I live have cavoodles.  Female about 9 mths old has curly poodle coat, is full of beans.  Male who is few years ago has similar coat but is heaps lighter in colour.  First opportunity either one gets they are out the front door and come for visit (both live in same street as me).  He is happy just for pats whereas she prefers to get to peoples face to lick them. 🤣.   lady in another street has a female who gets all excited every time she sees someone.  This one looks like gold and white spaniel.

sorry to hear you have not been well @Dimity,.

just over 2 weeks and I have surgery on my worst eye.  Scary as the thought is, know I’m looking forward to having the surgery.  My sight is still ok to do this close up but only under certain conditions.  I’m trying to avoid all driving as I don’t feel safe, when my eyes are tired or dry vision starts to blur about half car length in front of me.
