Sandy

We resume our normal programming with the strip that would have been playing yesterday if only WW1 hadn't happened. See? We're still feeling the unintended consequences of that senseless conflict!

Today we learn the name of the dog. Sandy was Linda's dog - when she moved over here to join me she sadly had to leave Sandy behind with her parents. She couldn't have come over here - Britain has some really strict quarantine laws, the kind that only come with an island mentality. It wouldn't have been fair for her to spend three months in a kennels and then move into a top floor apartment in Tunbridge Wells. She was dearly missed, but we got to see her every twelve months or so whenever we came to visit Linda's folks.

Sandy was a very happy and enthusiastic dog with an uncontrollably joyous tail - so joyous that she once demolished an entire Christmas village of miniature ceramic houses with a single wag.
