I think the ability to make someone laugh is one of the wonderful attribute of pets and dogs in particular.
We have recently updated our pet count at our
Lake District Holiday Cottages.
We have a different pony, either they are shrinking or my daughter is growing!
We also now have a working cocker spaniel called 'Smudge' who is even more of a flirt with our holiday cottage visitors, if that was possible.
Mind you, at only 1 year old, she is a complete nutter!
