The puppy has celebrity status!?

Having a dog adds a certain "je ne sais pas" to one's life.

Puppy in the lap of luxury.

We now live in a battleground with a variety of hazards littering the house and garden. We have a four-legged attrition expert taking over our lives.

BP (before puppy) life was peaceful (boring!); the house was clean (is that boring?); the garden was tidy and poo free (now that is boring!); I could sit watching TV all day without having to go 'walkies' in all weathers (really boring!). So our lives have become 'exciting?', 'full on?', 'energized!'. I hope it's what we wanted but is it what we needed?

It would appear that the puppy is achieving a limited celebrity status in the town, for instance:

Folk riding by on their splendid horses shout "There's that puppy."

Out and about couples walking by stop to have a word with him over the fence.

One lady tells us that she is "telling everybody about him."

Our very own, real live celebrity, TV presenter and actor stopped his car to pass the time of day with the puppy,

and

to cap it all one of his breed not only won Best of Hound Group at Crufts but also came Reserve Best in Show DFS Crufts 2011. (I just know his 'followers' are impressed!)

However, as with all celebrities, at home he is treated just like any other dog so that the fame doesn't go to his head.



Demonstrating his 'retrieve'.
