Give them the doggie Mabel

Oh dear. Jeni's fallen in love again and Dave prepares himself for a further bit of disruption in their lives. Her name is Mabel and she's about 18 months old. Described as a little scruffy tri-coloured mongrel, she was found wandering in the Lecrin valley area a couple of months ago by Kit's daughter Abigail. She's proved to be an extremely friendly, affectionate little dog and has put on hold their own plans for homing a bigger animal until they could find a home for her. How on earth she ended up with a name like Mabel is a bit of a mystery. The only other Mabel Dave remembers is the one who used to give them the money on the Wilfred Pickles radio show (blimey, that goes back a bit!).

It all kicks off when she comes to visit on Saturday. It will be interesting to see how the other two little chaps view this interloper as they've not been too happy whenever other dogs have come to stay (Chip's nose gets put right out of joint whenever little Scrumpy visits and Scrumpy and Luca get into a male pissing contest - literally!)!). However, perhaps because she's a little senorita it will be different for them. She's been neutered so leg-over Luca shouldn't be too interested in that department?! ... we'll keep you posted!
