notice the flash relecting off my eye, dazzling me mightily,<br \/>\nand causing me to see blobs and blotches of afterimage for ages afterwards.<del> Thanks Helen.<\/del><br \/>\nThe point I&#8217;m making is that if my eye is open, I&#8217;m awake,<br \/>\nand if I&#8217;m awake then I&#8217;m not asleep<br \/>\nand if I&#8217;m not asleep then I can&#8217;t possibly be snoring , can I?<br \/>\nExactly.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">So even if Jackson does sometimes snore enough for the both of us then that&#8217;s no reason not to offer him a home.<br \/>\nThe fact that as you can clearly see he snores on my bed is a perfect reason that you must offer him a home immediately.<br \/>\nBy my bed in the photo you can see my stuff: books, photos, momentos and the like.<br \/>\nThings Dogs Acquire Over Time.<br \/>\nMy favorite books are on the bottom shelf for easy bedtime reading.<br \/>\nThey are a present Helen got me many years ago for <del>biting someone who<\/del> defending her.<br \/>\nThey are a full 21 volume set of first edition leatherbound copies of that most coveted work:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">The Fully Illustrated Encyclopedia Of Bonios,<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">signed to frontispiece by Lord Bonio himself.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Well the thing is, I always used to love looking at this before going off to sleep of an evening, as it helps me have wonderful Bonio-filled dreams.<br \/>\nAnd when Jackson first came to stay with us he wasn&#8217;t feeling very well, so it seemed the right thing to let him sleep on the end of my bed and I&#8217;d read him Bedtime Bonio stories.<br \/>\nThe Trouble IS,  youngsters these days haven&#8217;t the stamina for some reason.<br \/>\nWhenever I start reading, he&#8217;s always nodded off and is snoring away before I&#8217;ve even got to the end of reading him the Foreword, Preface, Introduction by Lord Bonio and the first 100 pages of Volume One.<br \/>\nAnd once he&#8217;s asleep I can&#8217;t reach the other volumes and can hardly wake him up can I?<br \/>\nSo over the past few weeks I&#8217;m getting desperate to read the other volumes again.<br \/>\nI find myself worrying in the middle of the night about whether I might have forgotten some of the Bonios in volumes 19 and 20 , and whether the one I dreamt of last night was from page 433 of Volume XII or from page 253 from Volume XV?<br \/>\nIt is starting the bother me, because perhaps my memory is not as sharp as it once was.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">So please <del>someone hurry up and get Jackson off my bed!!!!!!!!!<\/del> consider giving lovely Jackson a home and think of his snores as endearing<del> and not the sort that rattle your photos off your shelves so that they bounce off your head in the middle of the night and you think that there&#8217;s been a blooming
