My latest trial......

When will this insanity end? Just as I thought that life was getting back to normal they brought in another brat. And this one is the brattiest brat of all so far. I told you all about "Willie" and "Ben" didn't I? Well, we'd no sooner got over saying goodbye to them than the Old Fella says to the Missus, "Sally wants us to look after that little 3-legged fella, Volpe". My heart sank I can tell you...."not another pretty Border Collie", I said to the cat. Meggie just rolled her eyes, "No telling with these people" she meowed. The Old Fella had been telling me that he had to buy another computer as his old one was playing up, and I had hoped that this would occupy him for a while and he would forget about the rescue pups that I had been forced to allow into my home. But it was not to be, and off they drove in my van again. Some time later they brought in a very sorry-looking specimen. A small brown and white Border Collie who hopped along on just three legs. I must admit that I did feel....well....just a little sorry for the lad. I heard the Old Fella saying to the Missus, "They think someone might have kicked him so hard that it broke his leg and no-one bothered to fix it". My stomach churned over at the thought of that, the little guy was only about 7 months old. How much pain must he have gone through in such a short time", I pondered. I remembered that I had been badly treated before I allowed my folks to rescue me, but I'd never been treated this harshly and cruelly. So, in my usual magnanimous way I decided to try and make the best of this situation and allow the little pup to stay with us for the time being. What a mistake .... this guy is a Holy Terror. He is so full of mischief that a barrelfull of monkeys would give me more peace. But I'll have to get back to you tomorrow because it;s getting late and the Old Fella is going to take us for our last walk of the day. Yippee......more good smells.... :)

By the way, Cealeigh of Skye, (did I spell that right I wonder?) and Freckles, thanks for your comments, it's good to know that there are other educated dogs out there who can read my musings......

I'll be back tomorrow to tell you more about this reprobate, Volpe.
