Hi Leisa,
I remember Boston Buns, & long cream filled donuts with a bright red raspberry jam stripe down the very thick cream, & (oh terrible) cough lollies, which I liked eating like any old ordinary lollies, & deep purple ice blocks which made my mouth purple.
My parents did wantus to take sandwiches, & we didn't have much pocket money. I was one of the kids not too proud to scunge for bottles & ice block sicks so I could buy the things I mentioned.
Today I had a cuddle of one of my helper's two-week old puppies. A warmly golden Labrador girl. Her dog had 9 puppies this time, & she was checking to be sure the puppy I was holding was okay every few minutes. But the sweetheart nuzzled into my side, up towards my armpit as if I could have milk on offer somewhere, & she was believing it surely must be close, the way she nuzzled at me. 😸Eventually, with a little help, because her claws were getting caught in my jumper, she turned herself around , to check out my other side, but no milk there! So, tired, I suppose, she settled down to have a nap while I held her, cradling her rear end in one hand, while she rested along my arm & chest, her nose tucked into my elbow bend. While sleeping she' twitching as if in dreams.
She felt so peacefully trusting, how easily she relaxed - how could I not relaxed?
All the while her other dogs want attention. Not so much mummy dog; she is only interested in protecting her pups, & therefore, checking on the one I held. Her other adult dog, a male, not daddy, kept bringing a tennis ball, well chewed, trying to gain my attention. She has another older puppy, who is all legs & energy, & hasn't learned that jumping up may not be welcome. He is a gorgeous pup. He'd be the equivalent of the cheeky Larrikin in grade 1 or 2 at school, but so cute, he tends to get away with a lot of mischief.
All the other puppies were in their big bed, where mummy dog feeds & cares for them. Of-course, if this little sweetie had shown any signs of discomfort or needing to go back to mum, I would have let my helper take her from me. But while she was so quiet, with just little twitches, sleeping, with barely a single whimper the whole time, I think I could have held her all night if she wanted.
this was such a lovely part of my fairly long day/afternoon. So that's why I haven't been seen around the Café today.
Love a Jaffle now...before I snooze...Need some vegies in it... & cheese, naturally 😺in front of the fire again.
Warmly❤️❤️❤️
