‘Droopy growler’

A couple of weeks before Christmas, Henry started growling; I told him if he would keep going till I’d got all the shopping in, he could have a rest till the new year, then I’d take him to the doctor. He did, then Mr Pandammonium spotted his droopy bit.

The growling is likely the exhaust. But, knowing I wouldn’t be able to explain the droopy bit, I took a couple of photos this morning before going to see the doctor.

I said ‘Henry’s got a droopy bit.’

The lad said ‘He’s a boy, isn’t he?’

The man said ‘He’s a droopy growler.’

It turns out that the droopy bit is the handbrake cable. It was probably attached to a bit as sturdy as the bit the horn was attached to.
