Meet Barney

This is Barney - a Maltese Terrier/Bichon Frise cross. He's about 3 months old and extremely cute. He belongs to T. from next door at work and regularly comes to work because he's still too young to be left alone at home for the day. He likes nothing better than to chew on fingers (but we're discouraging that), hanging off the bottom of trousers and shoes as you walk, and to destroy pieces of screwed up paper. If you don't supply the paper ready to go, he goes off & finds his own which is not necessarily a good idea. He then leaves a trail of small, ripped sections of paper scattered behind him where ever he goes, a bit like Hansel and Gretel. He's cute enough to almost make me want a dog but having one turning up at work regularly is even better: all care, no responsibility!
