Hello Dougal!

Today we went down to meet wee Dougal, sans Archie. And what a dear wee chap he is. He’s playful, inquisitive and friendly. Though he’s a wriggler, and on several occasions, nearly flipped right out of whoever’s arms were holding him. And I accidentally stood on his wee paw and bow how he squealed. Sorry, Dougal.

We sat out in the back garden in the sun, while Dougal chewed on the flowers. We had a glass of Prosecco to toast Dougal’s good fortune at landing Christine as his home. 

We will take Archie down to meet him soon. Very soon. I do hope Archie doesn’t act all grumpy. We need them to be, well, not pals exactly - but to put up with each other, like Rufus and Archie did.
