Just to let Jon know that there is now a photo of Bob and Mia in my blog - please feel free to lift and place somewhere more public. :-)

Nice pic. I shall do so. And I shan't tell Claire who referred to her pure-bred pedigree Bolognese as a mongrel ....

Well, I didn't know! I thought Bolognese was something you put on spaghetti. :-S

Anyway, "underwear muncher" is a far better description!

Admitting to total ignorance, and going for the easy gag which must be repeated ad infinitum, a Bolognese is a breed and not just a foodstuff?

Bolognese is lots of things besides spaghetti sauce .... anyone or thing from Bologna, in fact (except baloney). See here for the dogs of that ilk;

(It says on there they are obedient. Ha!)

And see here for our particular specimen (I haven't put Sarah's pic up yet);

Well, anyway, whatever she is, she's cute... though I must admit I think Bob is even cuter. It's his great big soppy eyes... aaah, bless. :-)

I'd better remember to put Patrick right about the mistake!

Hmmm. Bob is just a happy idiot, and quite content to do doggy things, but Mia is a devious, unprincipled, ruthless, cunning little bitch with a heart as black as the Earl o' Hell's weskit. She could probably give Minsky a run for his money in the intelligence and machiavellian stakes. And oh, yes, she's a drunk. If we walk down the lane she runs full tilt (still on the lead) for the back door of the Swan.

She loves me, though. What that says about me I daren't think.

Sounds like Mia is nothing more than an honest-to-goodness female. What's the problem?
