Cathy Bendle in a columnist for the Daily Herald, who finds humor in the quirks of everyday life, from training teachers to dodging housework. When not writing, she’s either laughing at her pets, frantically Googling for her work assignments, or playing on her iPad. Her column appears every other Wednesday. Swept from the corners of my mind… I’ve always had pets. Reptiles, fish, llamas, dogs, birds, you name it. Even while living in a college dorm, I had an aquatic frog. Life is better surrounded by animals. These days, however, I am at capacity. I live in a small house with a large, young German Shepherd, an affable but hyperactive English Setter (hereafter referred to as Tigger-On-Crack), an extremely vocal Rat Terrier, cats, and birds in cages so large they reduce the living space for the rest of us. There are horses behind the house and cattle just over the fence. Assorted wildlife wanders through the yard, leaving scents and spines for my hapless crew. It all makes me happy. But there comes a point where adding another heartbeat means there isn’t enough time, space, or energy to properly care for the ones already present. People have strange ideas about farm life.

Veteran ESA probe rolls out welcome mat for Japan's Phobos mission - The Register
Mars Express could support MMX's 2027 arrival as another 'last ever' extension keeps old spacecraft in flight Japan's mission to the Martian moon Phobos launched this week, with a veteran European probe expected to be waiting when it arrives. JAXA, Japan's space agency, confirmed that the Martian Moons eXploration (MMX) spacecraft launched aboard an H3 rocket on October 19 at 19:41 UTC – October 20 in Japan. On October 21, it said that initial critical operations, including solar array deployment, were complete. Equipment checks will follow as the spacecraft prepares for its outbound cruise. The probe is due to reach Mars in 2027, deploy the Idefix rover on Phobos, and attempt one or two landings on the moon itself. The rover is named after the dog from the Asterix comics. Scientists plan to collect about 10 g of material from Phobos and send it to Earth, with a return planned for 2031.
