Crystal has resumed her interest in trying to lick holes through the walls again. When reprimanded she pulls a funny little round mouth face with all her teeth showing

- highly amusing! She is then deposited into the hall
(her sin bin) where she carries on excavations on a new site, until got hold of and continuously corrected. She has also has a loose stomach and I wonder if she needs a change of pro-biotic -
(emulsion paint)
She has bags of energy too, especially
after a huge run on the beach

, which leaves me exhausted as a support mechanism with the ball launcher. Another development lately is a tendency to ignore commands when we are eating. I really have to be very firm with her - again the comical facial grimace accompanies this pedantic stance.
I know we both spoil her, but her attitudes to people etc are unchanged - friendly as ever, though she is becoming increasingly conscious of movements outside the front door and barks madly when the entry handset rings. We've left her alone twice over the weekend
(five hours at a time) an unknown for her by the way, perhaps the wall drubbing is a reactive post event corollary?
Could she be hyper glycaemic?
