olive 16 May 2011
The Stockwellians are blessed to have added Olive to their menagerie (in which ‘collection’ I include all manner of teenage life incorporated, as it is, by 3 of that kind, The Teenager). Olive is a rescue pup from the wonderful Battersea Cats and Dogs Home and she is a German Shepherd Cross…possibly a cross with a Dobercreature or PERHAPS a smaller dogtype though she seems to have plenty of growth left in those slim long legs and big paws. Anyhow, she LOVES to play and likes a good stretch of the aforementioned long legs. Today her walk was a tad delayed for her liking but her protest was significantly different from one of the resident cats (a large back shorthaired shrub called Boudicca) who, when irked, likes to select a garment and wee on it – instead Olive got busy about the house and gathered a waistcoat, a red shoe, socks, undies, a glove and the bathroom mat into her sleeping cage – an altogether different statement to that of a feline..one might almost call it benign (or, if one was a cat, say that it was lacking in a certain heft)
