Poor old Mary-Lou Betsy had a bit of a bingle today… travelling down the road at 80km/h the front left wheel fell off… yes, FELL OFF! Oops!… but it gets better than that… as Russ nursed the ute over to the side of the road, the wayward wheel rolled off to the left, hitting a giant lightpole on it’s way (at about 15m apart, this was pretty precision rolling!)… then (yes, there’s more!) the lightpole FELL DOWN and hit a car travelling behind him! What are the chances? Thankfully, no one was hurt, though the poor driver of the other car was a bit shaken up, and Russ is mourning for his broken baby (who had a ride on a tow truck to get home). What a dramatic afternoon!

Today, at Willow’s insistence, we took part in the RSPCA Millions Paw Walk with Walter and Marty… amongst the thousands of dogs there, we came across just one other St Bernard! Walter was a popular boy lapping up all the attention… it crossed my mind – not for the first time since he joined our family – that if I could charge people to pat him, and take selfies with him, I could just about cover his food bill! 😛
