National Dogs Day and Womens Eqality Day August 26th.
« on: Aug 12, 2019, 08:17:28 AM »
My daughters do not mind sharing their day with the dogs. They love dogs.
We have obviously got to honour police, guide dogs etc. Even Andy and Peter needs to be honoured for coming very quick after our previous dogs died. I am sure they knew the situation. I am sure Dougal told Andy when we went to collect him and Andy told Peter. They settled in quick.

Now not wanting to upset the female race but does anybody know why women are linked closely with dogs?
Someone somewhere must have a reason for putting them both on the same day

Women's Equality Day refers to when women got the vote in the US so is irrelevant in the UK. More relevant is that it is the anniversary of the birth of Robert Walpole. I will raise a glass to him and my friend, also Robert, who turns 68 on that day!

Walpole, Our first Prime Minister, who made 1000 percent profit from South Sea Bubble shares in slavery etc (before it crashed) - a model for that Paragon of Virtue Tony Blair to emulate.

Now that takes me back to my schooling in the early 60's. The in's and out's of the South Sea Bubble was the subject of many an A level paper

Perhaps that is the connection. Greyhounds?
