I’m part of a trend. Not the one for super-stretchy big knickers, the one for having an only child and getting your other one from the Kennel Club. Now I have two boys – one is taller than me, the other is covered in mud and hurls tennis balls at my head when I’m trying to read. Which I find adorable, of course, because I find everything Scruffy does adorable.
It’s not just me in this dog-meetdog world. Midlife Dogzillas are everywhere. We aren’t boring you with baby photos – we’re trapping you in front of endless phone pics of our surrogate child, choosing to ignore the glazed look in your eyes. You might not welcome a full rundown of the fur baby’s funny little ways, either, but we don’t let that stop us.
