Show us what makes you unique.

 

My brain makes me unique. It governs my hormones, its where my thoughts are and information is processed ~ no-one has else has one just like it.

 

 Thought I would give this a go after seeing it on good friends Bookmole Vox.  (This is she who is Sid  .  .  .  .  .all becomes clear further down the page.)

 

  this is a Icosidodecadodecahedron, I guess it has 44 sides as that is the age I will be next birthday and I did type in 44.

 

 Well the only place in the world which isnt in England which I would possibly get on a plane across vast amounts of water to visit is Jamaica and particularly this house. It was where Bob Marley lived, got shot and is now a museum of Bob Marleys life.

 

  Bradenham Buckinghamshire. This place is about 6 miles from where I live and I am reliant on the OH to take me and the hounds here in the car. It is a fantastic place to walk, woods, fields, bridleways, paths and very pretty at any time of year. You can do a quick 20 min walk or spend hours and hours here. You get great views across the Chilterns countryside.

 

 These are clickers. I use them in dog training. What a great bit of kit. I run clicker training days myself a few times a year to show others how with this little plastic box you can build a stronger relationship with your dog through understanding.

 

 I can be a bit funny about my food. One day I like something and the next I've gone off it. I have a dietry history insomuch that I have been anorexic and mostly a slim person throughout my life. In the past I have struggled to put weight on, even when eating loads including big bars of chocolate and nuts late at night. ( and I mean by the pound).

 

 

 

 

 My fav animal has to be dogs.There is so much they can do for us and great fun to be had with them. There is a dog for everyone.

 

 

Purple thats my colour. Not that I wear it as it makes me look ill but I love purple things. I chose this pic from those available on the page as Iris are also one of my fav flowers.

 

 

 

I was born in Kingsbury Hospital though for years I always said Edgware. I dont know if there is still a hospital there now.

 

I moved here two years ago from Harrow. Much nicer here. The air is fresher and it feels open and spacious. It was  my involvement with Hearing Dogs for Deaf People which persuade me out this way. I used to travel up from Harrow every week to do voluntary dog walking for a day and then notice on the way home how gloomy and enclosed Harrow feels. Me and my Danes are a recognisable sight on the train to Northolt Park and back at least once a week.

 

 

Cha Cha was the name of my Mums budgie. He was blue and made quite alot of noise but never spoke as my Mum wouldve liked him too. She sang Danny Boy at him alot but he never sang it back although he listened intently.

 

 

First grown up true love was Paul, no not him above but a Paul all the same. He was from Truro and in the army ( 3LI ), his nickname was Pasty. He had smiling eyes. He got posted to Belfast and I got into drugs so that was that. I can see him plain as day any time I like in my mind and my heart still flutters a little.

 

 

 

 

I had a bit of a problem with this question as I am so lucky that I dont have a best friend, I have two and together they make the perfect best friend. One of them has a nickname, that being Sid, the other doesnt have a nickname but her name is Judi and she likes Judy Dench hence the pic. Most of the pics for Sid were of Sid Vicious, Sid not being his real name either.

 

 

Yes, I know that here I am Dogwoman but have you seen the pics for that? On just about every forum I am on I am known as Crazydiamond. By the way did you notice that his name isnt Syd firstly.

 

 

Think thats quite apt in some ways.

 

 

I googled my maiden name and came up with a namesake ~ Im not that pretty and a bit older and my hair only wants to be straight. I decided not to do my middle name.

 

 

Being untidy is a bad habit of mine. I was untidy as a teenager then went through a phase after my eldset was born of being far too tidy and clean ~ managed to come out the other side of that thank goodness and am now quite happily ( well only occasionally bothered ) untidy again.

 

 

Yep, I can do this. My first paid job was on a Saturday at the local dog grooming parlour. I can make puffy bits on Poodles too, though I am out of practise.

 

I dont know why this pic was under Eileen but I preferred it to those of all the other ladies called Eileen, none of whom reminded me of my Nanny.

I didnt stick it out at college when a teen. As an adult I have studied Canine Psychology aswell as other canine related topics. This book is by the late great John Fisher, the newer version is the one to read as he realised alot about modern training methods and changed his book, along with how he trained, accordingly.
