  • The other side of midnight – the barking issue

    Of dogs that howl and bark in the middle of the night… I’d say this is a valid case of empathy and I do empathise and I’d ask concerned readers to think of a solution for Amanda. Amanda writes: I just read your latest post about developing tolerance, and for the first time in my…

  • Two more cases today, and how many more every day?

    My phone has not stopped ringing the whole afternoon.
