Darrell said that Hugh, his best friend and mentor who is currently on sabbatical from the glitz and glamour of his showbiz life, exchanging it for a summer of weekends on the Worcester Village Show circuit, was on the doorstep anxiously awaiting Darrell’s arrival as he had something very exciting to tell him ……..
Hugh had had a new baby, in the traditional of Elton John ….. but in puppy form, as Hugh doesn’t really do baby babies …….
……. her name is Hetty, a little Basset, just like Hugh’s other two dogs.
Hugh admitted to being a little tired, as all new fathers, especially as he had decided on this occasion not to get a Norland Nanny for Hetty, as he had for the other two, so he’d been up for the midnight wee, the three o’clock poo and then spent the night waking at the tiniest whimper and then watching Hetty breathe if she went quiet.
Darrell had to agree that Hetty was very, very, very cute, and he said he’d felt himself going a bit mumsie too, but in a fatherly type way, what is he like?
Nigel would have gone absolutely spare if he had seen Hetty, but it was important, said Hugh, that Hetty was kept calm, as he had just started to gently introduce her to Lottie and Picalil ……….
……. and les chickens!
It was emotional. Darrell did wonder whether he should offer to give Hugh a break and do the midnight wee, but then decided that Hugh would only get up and go with him anyway! Happy Days!

Hetty - a great name and a great dog.
Ooh-Hetty looks gorgeous. The photo of her with one of the other dogs is lovely.
