  Sweetheart
  
  There was a lovely story a couple of days ago, about ducks who walk each year through a charity shop to get to the river at St Ives. It's the first picture that got me, with the babies swimming in their drinking-water bowls

  Hi Claire Ive made your link live. Amongst the smileys is a little box that says URL. When making your original post you just click that and type the web address in between the two little boxes...and bobs yer uncle.

  Ah! Claire, another lovely story, Fifi is also addicted to socks, so much so that we seem to be permanently wearing odd socks in our house. She hides them in all sorts of places, her bed, her toy boxes and lots of her very own secret hiding places because I cant find them anywhere!!!!

  clearly fifi has not heard of the sock monster.
  
  a great story for kids where the socks thrown under the bed each day build up, eventually turning into a sock monster.
  
  this all true, i understand.

  Hi Colette, I know what you mean, all 3 of our dogs have a thing for socks! Our 2 cats don't fortunately, otherwise we'd be outnumbered by sock thieves! Our puppy hangs around when I'm sorting the washing, watching and waiting for one to drop on the floor so she can stealthily move in and then run away with her prize! Needless to say she's a hunting dog!
