I'm pleased to say that everyone is well today. Big big dog was up early, waiting for his run. Little big dog had a lie-in until the front door opened then shot out. Afterwards, they helped me feed the birds, re-stack the wood pile after the wind blew it over in the night, pack the wood basket for tonight, inspect the painting started yesterday, and generally being very amiable doggy companions.
So it's a croissant for me, and a pat on the back.
