'Keep them doggies rolling'

Our lovely neighbours from next door and next door but one are coming for tea tomorrow so whilst I was doing some preparatory cooking, Tony was in charge of checking that the trio of singing hamsters is working so that they can play a role in the treasure hunt for the youngsters. This one sings the theme from 'Rawhide' so those of you of a certain age will now be singing 'keep them doggies rolling' for the remainder of the evening! He also twirls his lasso so when Buddy got too close to see if he was edible or give him a good licking, he was rapped in the nose by the lasso and retreated to the other side of the kitchen in a sulk!
