Dangerous dogs, or half-witted humans?

Are You Taking Part In The Big Garden Birdwatch 2011?
Our little feathered friends need your help! The RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch has run for the last 30 years and is held on the last weekend in January. This year it is running on the 29th – 30th January 2011.

The thank you note was once an important part of society, but these days with our fast here today, gone tomorrow, take away culture, this practice has began to die out. I love to send thank you cards and gifts; as I want the person who either helped me, or sent me a gift, to know how much I appreciate them and their thoughtfulness.
