Poor Pippa Puppy!

We've made a fuss of this puppy every day this week and today she looked so forlorn as she waited outside the school gates in the rain that I just had to take her picture. It's a bit blurry as she's not very good at sitting still yet!

Pippa is a 15-week-old tricolour Cavalier King Charles spaniel (I just wanted to prove that I'm much better at identifying dogs than beetles, ha, ha!) who is currently the 'new puppy on the block' and she is gorgeous and normally being fussed over by large groups of soppy kind and caring primary school children (and their mummies!).
