How much is that doggy in the window..............

Above is my Nan and Grandads dog called Patchy, who is 17 years old! You might be able to make out his face is half white half black. Patchy the dog happens to be deaf, and at times it can become rather irritating when he doesn't respond to anyone. I have to say his name 10x louder than I usually would, and even then does he merely pop up his head. A few days back I learned that the only thing he can hear, and responds to, is if you CLAP! at him.

I clap at him all the time now.

Poor, poor little boy!
