I love it- thanks for thinking of me!
Actually, I've been neglecting my imaginary dog for the past few months (aswell as you and Betty) so it's nice to be reminded of the joys of dogginess.
It reminds me of Sexton Ming and Billy Childish's song "little dogs and Monkeys" who bravely go in to space- without a parachute (boo hoo)

So you like the Bonzos?

I should have known, from previous evidence of your impeccable taste! (Wilde, Moz, and particularly Python)

I am just starting to get into them...alas, I do not have many of their songs but what I do have I like!

But the greatest thing of all is: (if tickets do not run out before I get paid) I shall be seeing them live in November (minus poor dear Vivian. Sigh.)...they're coming to my humble town! Hurrah!
