Last week I overheard Gail saying to a friend how she wishes she could bottle all my puppy energy and store it up to heat our chilly granite house this winter.
Apparently it is a thermodynamic miracle that two small bowls of food a day ( plus treats of course) can support a spring-loaded perpetual motion machine in the form of a friendly wire-haired fox terrier.
Since horrid Mr Putin invaded Ukraine and has now started shutting off gas supplies to Europe, our heating costs in the UK are skyrocketing and much hot air has been generated by humans issuing crazy advice to other humans about how to cut their fuel bills this coming winter. I've decided to get in on the act as it's clear some canine common sense is required. Here are my top tips for soon to be shivering Brits.
My first tip: Don't live in Aberdeen (surely the UK's coldest city).
My second tip: If you must live in Aberdeen, go for a run on the City Beach on a day when the easterly wind is blasting in from Siberia. However cold your house, it will seem warm in comparison.
My final tip: It goes without saying, cuddle up close with your favourite fox terrier!
