Botti, I can see why you'd enjoy that portrait :) where do you have it?

When I was a little girl we had my mom was good friends with our next-door neighbor. It was the neighbor, neighbor's husband and neighbor's mother that we were all friendly with, really. A few Summer in a row, that neighbor had some of her out-state-friends come up from Texas and they brought their little Toy Poodle, Toby, with them. I was quite fond of him and would spend many hours sitting in the shade of our yard with him on my lap. I also played ball with him. Sometimes I pet-sat for him for a few hours in the day if the whole group of them were gone.
Other times the the friends would take their little Poodle and plop him in a backpack and walk up to the mall that was a few blocks from where we all lived, and I'd go with them. Or I'd sit and watch the man who was one of the owners, groom him each morning on their little patio table.
I really looked forward to those Summers because Toby became almost "my dog" for a time. I didn't live with dogs as a kid but I made sure to find dogs to spend time with.

a sidetrack. I think I collect pens because I like to write instead of type and I like having enough pens in the house. I can never understand this and it annoys me to infinity. why is it that every single time I go to anybody's house... a pen is nowhere to be found? it doesn't make any sense.

just about anything is readily and easily found in my house. pens, papers, rubber bands, paper clips, batteries, etc.

I hate handwriting. It hurts to write and the dexterity in my hands aren't very good and my writing is horrible. However, I'm a very good artist. Go figure. I prefer to type.
 
I don't really collect anything these days :( The mortgage on the house takes up so much of my money, but I do have a small collection of Terry Pratchetts Discworld figurines. Also own a few model cars, and I've got some WWII artifacts (service medals and the like) that were left to me by my Great Uncle and my Grandfather - I'll post up a few pictures when I get a minute.
I used to own so much more junk, but when I emigrated from England 5 years ago I sold a lot of it, and never got round to replacing it when I came to Perth.
