Sad and happy!
Himself has been very sad because Jake and Jasper, the free rangers died within the space of a couple of months. That is the bad news; the good news is that Jake left something behind him, another Jake, as the result of a liaison with Kate, daughter of our Emma.

Jake the evening before he died |
Iggy and baby Jake |
He was born
just after Christmas and though Kate is pure Peruvian and Jake was a Rex, he
had turned out a bi colour smooth coat. As soon as he was weaned he was put our
free ranging with big Iggy, which was a great relief for us all. He was a noisy
little tyke and when he was only three years old he had already started to take
liberties with us ladies. We all told him, ‘no thank you very much, we are not
into toy boys,’ but he persisted.
Iggy comes and
chats us up and he is, of course big enough to hook his forepaws over the pen.
As you can see, wee baby Jake is keen to join him but isn’t big enough yet so
just tries to get up on Iggy’s back to get closer to us. We have a feeling that
young Jake is going to be a bit of a pain but at least he is out there and can
only ogle us.
Himself as
warned that at one stage one of us is going to be ‘the chosen one’ when it will
be time for Jake to sire another litter, which will continue the noble
Paddington line. When that time comes we shall all be keeping a low profile for
the lad seems to be a bit too eager and will probably be a ‘wham bang and thank
you mam,’ kind of lover! Now his granddad, there was a lad who did know how to
put a sparkle in a girl’s eye and a wriggle in her rump! He would always wait
until we were ready, in season and raring to go, so to speak.
So there you
have it, we are back again after pc problems, and glad to be so. Himself has a
new book coming out soon and is working on another one, which will be a corker
because it will be a photographic one and we will be the stars, so it is bound
to be absolutely gorgeous.
Big heads? Oh
no, we are just taking a leaf out of his book. He hasn’t been the same since he
came back from the
