Dangerous dog competition (Rousse)
We would surely lose the competition if the black Labrador – friendly up until this point – continued to refuse to be carried on my back. When it bared its teeth at me yet again, I suggested that perhaps we … Continue reading
One wedding, six funerals and a new paint colour (Belle)
I invented a new paint colour – “Italian Holiday Green” and it was a roaring success. Then I got married to a celebrity. The wedding was ‘promenade style’. My new husband and I walked through a succession of Arts and … Continue reading

The ginger squatters of Benfica (Belle)
I walked out of Goldsmiths College to take a walk. I bumped into a group of local red-haired squatters. They were riding red horses that were being led by red dogs. I stopped to chat with the group. They told … Continue reading

Umbrellas for pit bulls, HRT for boyfriends (Belle)
I was in New York in a downpour. A man on stilts wearing a bright red commissionaire’s uniform was holding an umbrella over a gentleman’s pit bull as they crossed the road. As they got closer to me, I saw … Continue reading

The world’s most versatile dog-themed kitchen gadget (Rousse)
The dog sculpture in jade looked good in MB’s new kitchen and I now regretted that the family had given it to her as a present. The ornament was also much more versatile than we had first believed. The head … Continue reading
Terrorist YouTube treat on campus (Rousse)

A flying dog and flat tyres (Rousse)

A comedian, lipstick on a hairbrush and a conference with rottweilers (Belle)
