It is no secret that the last four weeks have been among the worst in my life but yesterday evening along came a rescue dog called Bertie-Pierre and it is no exaggeration to say that he is rescuing me. Here he is!
It didn't take him long to discover the joys of the sofa
and now he has his first toy:
This morning we made a start on his wardrobe:
I have named him Bertie-Pierre after Bertie in the Alexander McCall Smith 44 Scotland Street novels. It is the name Bertie's French friends give him when he runs away to France.
My little Simi will always be in my heart and I am sure it is with her blessing that Bertie-Pierre has come to me.
