We have a wee pal for the week - young Haggis MacFeagle, Sally's westie. A young dog of character and energy. God knows how they manage just giving him one walk a day! The first time he came, you may remember he managed to find everything within a 2 feet distance from the floor. This time, I "de-Haggified" the living room before he arrived so we're safe there (except on Christmas morning, when he managed to make off with Nick's chocolate coins THREE times!)
My plan of walking his wee legs off and thus curtailing his energy and curiosity seems to be working. He's too knackered to get into too much trouble, and seems to love his walks too, bless his wee cotton socks.
It's actually quite funny, he and Murphy ignore each other (not through any animosity, I think the size difference renders them out of each other's worlds) but he LOVES Maddie! Follows her nose to tail all round the place when they're out and despite several occasions where she's tried to bully him, he remains undefeated and a devoted camp follower. Which given that she's a Springer Spaniel and he's a Westie, is pretty impressive - I've started calling him "small but determined" - pity there isn't a word in English that says that! Maybe there is - "Haggis"
