Tykes on a plane...

Well, I see from the news that those brave souls in charge of protecting our airports and aircraft from attack have been a little to zealous again. The newspaper 'Emirates Today' details an event at Dubai Airport, in which Suhail Saleh,a two-year-old boy was prevented from boarding a United Arab Emirates plane bound for Turkey. Apparently his name appeared on an arrest warrant. Not only that, but his eye colour and hair colour also matched those detailed in the warrant. The newspaper neglected to mention if the suspect's estimated height, weight or age were also close matches to those of little Suhail. Fortunately, a 'probe' into the circumstances satisfied officials that the tiny terror was indeed merely a tourist, and fears were eased further when it was discovered that he was travelling with his Dad, Abdullah. The little feller was allowed to fly at last, but the potential threat had been noted - a possible security procedure update will alert airport staff to detain for questioning anyone acting suspiciously and trying to board a flight wearing a vomit-stained romper suit.

Tater and Poppy have gotten quite used to sleeping on our bed, and at a combined weight of around 115 pounds, they take up a lot of room. So El Jeffe and I have come up with a solution. Make them sleep on the floor ? Not on your life. We're buying a king-sized bed. I just hope the dogs like the mattress - the salesperson in the bed store wouldn't let them try any beds out.

Thought for the day - you can't be too careful. Night, all.

lol, we had to do the same thing... 2 adults, 2 black labs, and a baby or 2 definitely calls for a king bed!
