The Princess of Darkness

The Renaissance Couple's household features a number of animals. Most recent addition is a small, fierce, pitch-black Patterdale terrier bitch. In keeping with the tenor of the house, she has developed pronounced views on music - which have now got her into trouble. She had to be rushed to the vet at the weekend, having eaten 40 feet of cassette tape. Luckily the operation was a success and she is now restored to rude health, once again terrorising the local wildlife. Oddly, the cassette she chose to devour was a recording by Renaissance Man's ex-wife's second husband. Clearly a dog of impeccable taste.
