Butter Wouldn’t Melt

Dear O'H dear and Lovely Tea Jenny,

The Eldest Mini Princess has her school prom in a couple of weeks and we went at lunchtime today to have her dress taken up.

The seamstress had her beautiful 5 month old King Charles spaniel, Fernando in the shop and he was just sitting calmly, good as gold, like a little furry angel. Almost exactly the same as Murphy that age*…except the complete opposite.

Me: “He is so good.”

Seamstress: “He is TERRIBLE. He chews EVERYTHING. We had a lab and he only chewed one chair. I walked for MILES to get into work and he was STILL racing around when we got here and I was tired…AND he lights fires.”

Me: “Fires?”

She explained that a few nights ago, Fernando chewed on an electrical cable at 2 am which started a fire. By sheer luck, the seamstress’s husband was still up and managed to put it out quickly.

Seamstress: “So now he has to sleep in his cage but he cries ALL night so we are taking turns sleeping downstairs with him.”

Maybe puppy Murphy’s book eating habit wasn’t so bad after all!
