This little chap has really brightened up the year end. Raised on a diet of scrambled eggs, bougie dog food, stolen slippers and ten thousand kisses.
The house just didn‘t feel right without a dog. So here he is, a 16 week old Patterdale with the heart of a lion.
Merry Christmas everyone!

Be nice to your postie at Christmas, they are doing a job you would probably find too difficult. 🙏
Only abused by two members of the public yesterday as I delivered their parcels. And called a C**t because I had stopped outside a house to deliver letters. But (I try to keep this in the front of my mind) most people are lovely and polite.
