Meet Chip [View all]

I think you're familiar with Gibby, my JRT girl. I've downsized into a unit with small front and rear fenced yards and it was time to consider a friend for Gib.

This has all happened so fast - checked the local pet rescue this morning - Chip had appeared and I put in an application. Was informed that others were looking at him but turns out they have a great dane and he was terrified.

The baton passed to me; two hours after the message I'd picked him up. Gib and Chip will be great mates. They've already done some tentative zoomies around the living room. Right now he's asleep on my bed. I'm so happy and I think Gibby is too.

PS For any monarchy haters or anti-Camilla folk (and I don't really believe there are any here) Camilla has had rescue terriers for years. I love her for that.
