Today, dear listener, we’re all about dog stuff again. Blimey, a puppy!<\/p>\n

As later this week we\u2019ll be talking a bit about African vampires, Black vampires, vampire hunters, and related fun, here\u2019s an update on the pack. Which is now back up to three for the first time since we lost the mighty (if obstinate) Twiglet a couple of years ago, at the age of sixteen.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve always liked having a succession of canine companions, all rescues, and with both longdogs getting older, we felt we\u2019d like an additional companion, maybe for those longer walks and more difficult landscapes. Aha, we thought \u2013 we\u2019ll go scour the rescue centres, especially fine places like Lurcher Link in West Yorkshire (through which Django and Chill found us). Perhaps a one or two year old lurcher, eager for a bit of affection and exertion in equal measure…<\/p>\n

Oho! said the World. Tough luck. One of your relatives has a friend whose bull terrier came into heat, and unexpectedly got into heavy kissing with a naughty boy doggy. And one of her pups has been returned from its first placement because they couldn\u2019t handle it. It is small, and no one wants it. It needs a home now.<\/p>\n

So it was that the family became divided in an instant, with Chilli and I feeling extremely dubious about this move, the two other pink people being rather keen, and Django just wondering how to get into the fridge, as usual. But some of us lost the battle. First it was an overnight stay, and then it was a week\u2019s trial, and then\u2026<\/p>\n

We now have a highly annoying 10 week old bull terrier x something pup in permanent residence. He is called Biscuit, and his main characteristics are:<\/p>\n
