Happiful magazine and Kaira latest.

 Today, I've been studying the latest edition of 'Happiful' magazine, and trying to learn the 'voice' and 'style' etc of it. I hope that my article 'Does your dog make you happy?' will 'fit in'.

Kaira still has her cough, but it's not as bad, or as frequent, as it was. The people from Pine Ridge Dog Sanctuary told me that a few other of the dogs that came over in the same consignment had developed similar coughs saying that it was probably caused by coming from the warm climate of Spain into the cold, damp weather over here. They thought that it would only last a few weeks. She's a very independent dog, mainly keeping herself to herself, but occasionally coming to us for a reassuring fuss. She loves her head and ears being stroked. She refuses to go outside after dark!
