Ben

Gramps, Nan Sue and Julian came over for Christmas dinner etc today. They had in tow Polly's arch rival, Becky the Papillon, as well as their new rescue Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. He was called Gordon when they acquired him, which then became Gordon Bennett and has since been shortened to Ben (occasionally Benji or Benny).  He's a lovely dog, very friendly and loving, and seems to have settled in extraordinarily well. So he has a happy ending after six years in Ireland as a puppy farm stud dog.
