[doc] Scruffy's Double

[Mike Sumner <mike16uk2000@xxxx>]

Chris,
yesterday evening I just happened to be standing by
the back door in the kitchen when I saw something
glide past it. I stuck my head out the door, thinking
it was a cat from next door doing it's business in our
garden, and as I was just about to frighten it off I
realised that it was in fact a lovely little dog that
looked just like your Scruffy, but was in fact called
Ben.
He was really quiet and obedient and you know what my
Mum's like with cute little dogs, so of course we had
to take him to the house written on his collar.
The funny thing is when we got there it seemed like he
didn't want to go back home at all, in fact it I
didn't know any better I'd say that he preferred our
house.
Now my Mum's going on about getting a small dog again,
and keeps asking us if we think Ben'll be alright.
I can see us all having to go down to the rescue
centre before long, because my Mum has a history of
going on about something until it gets sorted out.
Still, it could be worse; she could want a Great Dane.
At least if she gets a small dog I'll only have to
make sure that everything important (eg DeLorean
memorabilia, shoes etc) is placed a foot away from the
ground.
Anyway, I just thought you'd like to hear about that.

If I don't speak to you again beforehand then have a
nice cruise,

Mike.
