So... it looks as though Badger the dog is a bit of a problem child and also a little far away which I'm actually a lot sadder about than I imagined, but yesterday we went to see this fellah:
He's called Kevin (who the hell calls a dog Kevin?) and he's only a pup really - I think we might go back tomorrow and take him out for a walk, see what we make of him. Give him another six months and he might even have grown into his ears. He looked a bit down in his cell at the shelter - that dog needs some countryside, some biscuits and new name...
Let's do this thing.
