Two good friends have just been adopted by a Clumber spaniel. Kimi arrived over the weekend on a quality inspection visit and is well pleased, other than the usual hesitations of dogs who expect high standards of accomodation and cuisine. But she's decided to stay. However being a Clumber spaniel she is genetically programmed to assume a more superior status than her ordinary springer, cocker and king charles cousins (note the lower case in their breed names). She's also a bit fussy about who gets to stroke her, and highly selective in those she deigns to acknowledge with as much as a tail wag. Next time I visit I'm hoping to be noticed.
But when it comes to landing on your paws Kimi, it doesn't come better than landing in the living room of two dog loving folk like my friends. Just to ensure things go smoothly I prepped the new owners by presenting them with the well known dog manual, Feng Shui for Dogs! You know - bed beside radiator, food and water accessible and in dishes that don't skite across the shiny floor every time you eat from them. That kind of thing! Enjoy Kimi - if there's a promised land for Clumbers you've found it!
oops! I read that as Kimi the cucumber spaniel.....
