Many here consider dogs to be unclean, although I don’t know why anyone would get that idea:

Our neighbourhood is Constantinople Cat Central.

Actually there are real issues for blind people across this part of the world, with so many shop owners or authorities refusing to allow any dog, even guide dogs, into shops or public transport.  And seeing-eye goats or cats haven’t been a huge success.

(OK, I made that bit up about the goats and cats- guide-goats are pretty good, it’s just the seeing-eye cats that have been the problem)

Oh dear – time for bed.
