I know what you’re thinking, is it possible for anything to look so cute! Put simply – no.
But as ever looks can be deceptive this dog has an alter ego, Moriarty is what we should have called him. Every Laurel has his Hardy every Crosby faces upto a Sinatra and here you can see my nemesis – Mr Cedric.
This is my first dog, although I’ve thought about having one for a long time. For reasons too tedious to mention he is a Lagotto and this fact alone is enough to get you a conversation. I think he knows it! In fact I think that he purposely passes some people by knowing he’s going to get you into a conversation you weren’t looking for.
Its easy to tell when Mr C has got something he shouldn’t have. He trots. No shuffling or running, no keeping to the corners. Nope he trots with his tail held high and a jaunty look in his eye. If he could wear a trilby at an angle that’s what he would be doing and that the time to check your ‘stuff’ because I’ll bet you anything you like, you’ll be missing something you thought you had.
This was yesterday as we meandered our way through the woods below the Chais de Vaure. It’s a lovely walk if you’re ever in these parts and I’ll talk you around other parts of it another time but if you do take that red route from the centre of the village, remember keep checking you’re stuff, my little soldier can strike at any time – woof!
