Laurel and Hardy

The good news is that there have been plenty of rehomings over the past couple of weeks. And the great news is that Nobby is one of the dogs that has gone to a new home.

This means that Ava has a new kennel mate, he's Dumbo - an older white-and-tan boy - and if Ava could be described as "wider-than-average" Dumbo is on the skinny side. They make quite a funny pairing, as they are about the same height in the shoulder... but Ava is roughly twice the size of Dumbo.

Brings to mind the classic comedy pairing of Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy. "Well, here's another nice mess you've gotten me into," although more likely to be Nobby saying it to Ava rather than the other way round.

Ava IS much less mischievous with Dumbo than with Nobby, although I wouldn't like to point a finger at Nobby and say he's the naughty one... they're both as bad as one another.

Nobby has some older children in his new home, so I'm he'll have tons of fun getting into trouble with them.
