By a whisker......

These are just two of the teeny, tiny, wee metal animals I bought at the Thame Fair at the weekend.  I suggested delegating the painting of them to PP, which prompted a lively discussion as the feasibility of making a paintbrush with a single hair, in order to paint stripes on the unfeasibly miniscule zebra.

Jacqui of Ceynix, who supplied the animals, mentioned that some people use a single cat's whisker to paint the tiny details.

I think you can probably guess what's coming next.......

Predictably, when we mooted the subject with Small Dog, she was less than impressed.  Our perfectly reasonable argument that she could spare one solitary whisker for experimental purposes fell on deaf ears and she refused to even discuss the prospect.

Personally, I think that anyone who is up for Employee of the Month (again) should be capable of thinking outside the box and show a willingness to cooperate with the management team on issues across the board.

But no.

She's taken to sleeping with one eye open and all her whiskers tucked resolutely under her blanky.......

Not only that, she's now playing merry hell on her FB page.  I might have to shut it down if things kick off......
