I remember our ginger Cairn terrier. It was sis’s I think, given for some birthday or other, from Granny Vi.
Anyway she was a cute but smelly little thing called Suzie. Only we called her Prudence because it suited her better. It’s like children. You give them a name when they are a few hours old and they grow into something else far more suitable.
Sis used to give her mohican haircuts and I think she dyed her hair pink once but I could be imagining that. The main thing I remember though is telling her to ‘get under the telly’. Those ace big telly’s from Radio Rentals we all had. Lots of room for doggies to sit under whilst we got drunk watching The Young Ones and the very first ever music video, by whatshisface.
