Man's best friend
I bought a dog today, a metal one, a garden ornament. At the moment it is standing in my sitting room by the fireplace so I can admire it while I watch telly.
Last weekend I visited a friend. In her garden, peeping out between pots, was a metal dog. It had been a present so my friend did not know where it came from. This morning I walked to a garden show about four miles away. I walked to ensure that I spent little; I would have to carry purchases home. On one stand was a metal dog identical to the one that took my fancy last week. It wasn't heavy or expensive, and came in three pieces, easy to assemble, in a manageable box, so I bought it and carted it home across fields and stiles.
Thought for today
The legality of an act is no guarantee of its moral permissibility and vice versa. ... The law often represents the lowest level of acceptable behaviour, and clinicians should surely strive for higher standards than the bare minimum.
