Sonny is our dog. He is 10 weeks old.
It’s time I did a wee Sonny post as he is a bona-fide member of the Flying Martinis . I promise not to do another one any time soon, as there’s nothing as dull as folk going on about pets. Indulge me, this once.
Here’s 10 Sonny-related facts
1. The three cats hold regular conferences about him on the stair landing. I swear I see them congregating far more regularly than they used to. The conference organiser is Harleyboy, the elder statesman (he's 15, which is old for a cat and like Nelson Mandela he shows no sign of slowing down), Libby is Mary Robinson and Lulu is Condoleeeza Rice. They are proposing sanctions and a trade embargo.
2. I have used more kitchen roll in two weeks than I ever have in my entire life. Toilet training is a tricky business. I am thinking of applying for shares in “Bounty”. That and getting wooden flooring.
3. Dogs prefer cat food to almost anything else. But if they manage to steal and eat any, they will produce twenty turds in half an hour.
4. Puppies are clever little beasts. I taught the boy how to sit in five minutes with some cat munchies and a clicker. Five minutes! Crufts here we come! Get my flat shoes and tartan skirt ready!
5. He is so beautiful – everything about him is beautiful. But I can’t stand to look at his man’s parts. They upset me. I’ll need to come to terms with them, soon. I would like it better if they were pixelated when I looked at them like on censored images.
6. He’s an underwear fetishist. He presented a visiting Sky telly engineer with a bra of mine and I think the bloke thought he was in a "Carry On" movie for a second. Nae luck, mate; I've given up sex-blogging.
7. He has eaten his way through a computer mouse cable, the strap of my green wedges shoes, a set of fairy lights and this weeks’ Grazia. He’s nothing if not full of variety.
8. He has been blessed with a bark that isn’t commensurate with his small frame. Surely some mistake in the dog factory. Somewhere there is a Rottweiler who opens his mouth and a little girlie squeak comes out as Sonny has stolen his bark (and probably his pants)
9. Junior Missy is bloody good with dogs. She is particularly good as spraying carpet cleaner and taking Sonny out for a pee whenever I ask. She's channelling her inner pup and Sonny loves her. She’s the next Barbara Woodhouse, but with better dress sense.
10. The Flying Martinis are definitely dog people.

I was actually hoping for an update on the doggy situation so no need for apologies!
I'm more of a cat person personally, although I love dogs - I just wouldn't want to have one 24/7. In fact I don't really want any of my neighbours to have one either as the 2 currently beside me and across the road from me create the most incredible noise between them!
Good to see you are having fun with him, and heaven help him if he tries to take on the cats as they will never be beaten!
Have you thought of making him wear boxer shorts? There is a very evil site that has pictures of dogs mating with women. I am glad I have forgotten the URL.
Once you get past this part, the dog will be a lot easier to manage!
Having said that, our little Chloe has been naughty and peeing on our bed the last couple of days! She has been banned for the bed!
I still adore the little monkey!
Craig: You are right about the cats. Sony has been cuffed numerous times. The cats are in charge. No doubt about it.
Gorilla: I am also glad, you have forgotten.
Scot: Sonny doesn't get on the bed. Or get scraps from us when we're eating. Those are our only rules. We've broken all the rest.
I'm not sure if it's a cocker thing, but ours absolutely loved to carry socks in his mouth and gift them to people. If there were no socks, pants would do. Only in dire straits would he resort to a bra though. Vistors were always thrilled to be presented with a g-string. (Especially as he preferred to knock over the linen basket to access unwashed garments. Nice.)
Stay strong with those last two rules!
(we tried and failed) ;)
wooden flooring doesn't help matter much. It just spreads and seeps under things and you end up with sticky bit's you've missed in the clearing up session. Not at all nice let me tell you.
Cat: Sonny is a real thief, like you predicted. They don't have those cute faces for no reason. How can you get annoyed when one of them looks up at you?
Scot: It's not that I'm strong- it's just there's no room on the bed for Sonny with the three cats, two adults and two children that congregate there at various points throughout the night.
Wifie: I don't fancy linoleum though. That's not nice, if wipe clean.
