No @Mike, he's just finishing off the washing up for you. The superior canine snout can sniff out any remaining scraps of something tasty. He'd probably agree to pre-wash them if you asked nicely.
He's looking in exceptionally good nick. You'll be able to ride him soon.

I think he’s getting a few tips on how to carry people

That is brilliant! Hi Ho Silver Watson.

I like that you got the Lone Ranger and his horse in there- but WOW I loved you put a bit of SILVER in there

One does what one can.

Not wanting to take over the topic with pics of my dog but the little beggar just pinched some spreadable cheers when I opened the fridge and then bolted. Needless to say I didn’t use it

Two questions  @Mike :
1. Little?
2. Why not, it was in a closed tub?

Okay, you've all worked out my first love. Precious metals are only my second. Photos incoming shortly!

I hope this works, not done an image on here yet! And I'll send anyone a 0.925 half crown if you can tell me both their breeds... it's a hard one!

It worked @barnsaby .
Heinz hounds?
We need more cats on here.

@The Cat's Mother

Close, a good guess. I'll give you the point for the black one, as she is a Romanian rescue, so yes, Heinz, but the white one is tough! She's a pure breed. 

And I agree on a personal level, cats are awesome (alas, my dogs don't feel the same way!).

Mmmm.... Foxhound?

@barnsaby not a clue, but they are both adorable!

@The Cat's Mother
I'm impressed. No fellow dog walker has ever got that right with her colouring. I will happily send you a pre-1920 half crown if you are happy privately sharing an address/forwarding address with me that I can send it to. A promise is a promise!

@Bondie
Thank you, I agree! And  @The Cat's Mother got them both. Impressive!

As a cat person, it's a case of 'know thy enemy'. Only joking, they do look lovely girls. It was the ears and tail on the White Lady that gave it away.
I'll release you from the bet @barnsaby. I enjoyed the challenge and am beyond smug that I got it right.

@The Cat's Mother
To be fair, that smug feeling is up there with precious metals collecting! I honestly didn't think anyone would get it. My wife is in shock too!

Well done @The Cat's Mother I would never have guessed that!
In keeping with the pets theme, I have now uploaded an Avatar. Alas, I had to say goodbye to my last cat, Millie, in 2020, but I love seeing photos of other people's cats (and dogs)

Just as well you didn't offer up a sovereign then  @barnsaby .

It's a fine avatar @Bondie. Cats rule!
We have two cats now, Raffles and his brother Caspar, coming up to 14. Our lovely ginger boy came to the end of the road towards the end of 2019, and he's still much missed.

Aw  @The Cat's Mother, I'm so sorry to hear about your ginger boy... it's a real bereavement when we lose them
PS: Cats do rule, and they know it!

They have never forgotten that they used to be worshipped, by the only race of humans worthy to associate with cats. Once they learn how to open tins, we're toast.

@The Cat's Mother

I had dogs growing up but no pets for me unless they can take care of their own waste!

That's why I never wanted children.
