Took Scrumpy yesterday for a play date with Clare G's new little cocker spaniel puppy, Smudge. What a cutie – who could possible resist a tiny little scrap of soft fur with little nippy teeth and lots of bounce, who looked rather like a little version of Scrumpy?
The answer, it swiftly transpired, was Miss Scrumpy herself. Who sat with her back turned to him, kept running away or growling slightly and was solely interested in ripping his cardboard food box apart in case there might be any biscuits nuggets left under the flaps. Oh Scrumpy, you really don't like other dogs much do you? It's a wonder that Flossy gets a look in, she is your only friend. Sigh.
Still, it was very nice to have some puppy cuddles and the furry sheep chew toy with squeaker seemed to go down well with the new little fella.
If only they stayed small and cute forever.. Half the common's mud strewn all over our kitchen floor at this very moment…. Good job we love 'em, hey?
