Tin dog

This is the only second dog we are taking care of for a while. Both Ronnie and Cougar have been fine house guests but it's quite an undertaking having two dogs in our house. Cousteau is boisterous and dominant and though it's probably good for him to have a bit of competition from time to time, it's hard work for us.

Next time someone asks, I may well have to practise my new assertiveness and say 'NO'.

I bought this dog just before we got Cousteau, just under three years ago. I really like it. It reminds me of Cousteau a bit.

He has just had a dust. A celebratory blip for him then.
