This is what has taken my place in Emma’s affections for the past few days - the incredible bouncing dog. As you can see, she is as photogenic as Emma and, in her own way, just as cute. But there is always a but. In the very first post I ever published on this Blog, I complained that Emma and I had been summoned to Garden City to look after a tiny terrier pup which daughter Eva and her husband had collected on the same day as they were due to leave for France. Bad timing, or careful planning? The result of a fortnight’s puppy-minding was that the little beast assumed Emma to be her real mother, and nothing has shaken that belief. Whenever we stay at Eva‘s place, the dog never leaves Emma’s side for fear that she should abandon her again. She is not, I hasten to add, one of those dogs that snarls jealously. She simply bounces onto Emma’s knee when we sit together and insists on sharing our bed at night. Bless!
