Puppy woes, and the Crowlett grows!

Hello all – a quick update from us.  We’re still a week away from Sarah’s due date, but (we think) all is prepared now, and the baby is going berserk, making his/her presence very much felt.  Sarah is definitely on the rotund side of things, but feeling fine.

Who says elephants aren't native to the UK?

And yet, it has been a very sad week for us, as our beloved puppy Jaffie got very sick at the end of last week, and despite extravagant quantities of love and attention from our friend Lenke who was looking after her, she succumbed to her illness, and is now frolicking in puppy heaven, probably wagging her bottom so powerfully that she is practically knocked off her feet as usual.  She will really be missed, as although she had the tendency to be a bit annoying at times, she was also a very loyal friend, and probably saved us from burglary on one or two occasions.

The brave patient being tended to by her vet

On the topic of burglary, within 6 days of our return to the UK, we were greeted by the news that there had already been an attempted robbery on our house, staved off by the valiant efforts of our friend/house-sitter Andrew.  If only Jaff had been there to protect the fort, all would have been well.  

Rest in Peace, sweet Jaffie Joffa, Ruler of Zamunda!
