Our Bella is an outside dog – she loves getting outside whatever the weather. Her latest trick is to sit on one of the pillars beside the steps in the back yard and, well, just look around. She quite happy there for as long as we leave her. It reminds me of the phrase – sometimes I sit and think, and somethings I just sit.

She might bark at a passing neighbour but generally she just sits and looks around. Even if it’s raining she still just sits – and thinks – it’s her thing.
