She came in the bedroom, the puppy sat there, on the floor there was only one sock, she scoured the room for the match of the pair and then stared at the doggy in shock. The vet soon confirmed there was something inside and it was what the fuss was about, So poor doggy went home, now with nothing to hide and then waited for it to come out. The next morning, there lay, in a heap on the floor the one sock, but the dog wasn't slapped, since unlike when outdoors, this dog's doings, indoors had come out as a parcel, gift wrapped. (Ockbrook is a village on the outskirts of Derby, where puppy 'Roman' lives)

I have the same problem with my good lady, she won't read it unless it's about her (that is, when I actually tell her I've written one about her) Viv x

What a lovely account, if not for the papers but surely the Soup, for we surely believe.
