Small children crowding around and bending over/kneeling down to pat and stroke her. Poor little dog must have been terrified.
My first generation of cat family lived to 19, 20 and 21. At the ages each of them died, I had had them for half my life (my entire adult-life). The eldest predated my wife and kids, of course I'd give them medicine when sick and take care of them, they had shared my entire adulthood with me up to that point. Oldest of next batch of cats is 10. He was once the kitten that tormented the older cats, now he's the old cat that get tormented by the youngsters. He's an indoor cat so I fully expect him to live into his 20's too. 18lbs of fluff and muscle (part Maine Coon).
Some actual good news - went to pick our little granddaughter up from school for the first time ( she started school last week). Misjudged how long it would take to walk there and Google's 32 minutes was actually almost an hour. Got absolutely drenched but it was worth it to see her little face.
First opportunity I've had to fetch my youngest today since the new school year started. Trouble is, I've felt like **** since last night and didn't sleep a wink so wasn't really feeling it
I was wondering how long it would take for someone to say it. I'll be honest, I didn't think it would be you either

Some good news for eveeyone earning over 150k. The 45p tax rate is being abolished so you will all earn a lot more money. While those on less will get a massive 1% off income tax from 20 to 19
TBF, those earning over £150,000pa are the ones truly struggling with the cost of living increases...
