Gabion, or Gabes, for short, has his work cut out if he is to fulfil the late wishes of his paramour, Dumpty Roo. Their Maid, a porky being of indeterminate proportions, is in dire need of a make-over in order to be holiday ready for a trip to the Arctic in the autumn.
This journey began with Dumpty's first - and last - attempt at getting her human to unfatten and fitten up. A journey that Gabes will continue to make Dumpty proud of him, and to show that her work and her efforts were not in vain.
A morning kiss, a discreet touch of his nose landing somewhere on the middle of my face.
Because his long white whiskers tickled, I began every day laughing.
