by Lt.-Col. Eric Coxon
' Mention your dog in any company and you will at once be assailed by a flood of doggy reminiscence, designed, of course, to show how frightfully clever the other chap's dog is,' says Colonel Coxon regretfully. For once he proposes to talk without interruption about some of the quite outstandingly . intelligent dogs in his own family.

It didn't look at all like a house now; it looked like a tree which had been blown down; and as soon as a house looks like that, it is time you tried to find another one. Pooh had had a Mysterious Missage underneath his front door this morning, saying, ' I am Scerching for a New House for Owl so had you Rabbit,' and while he was wondering what it meant. Rabbit had come in and read it for him. followed by Across the Water
