Well I was going to tell you how good Mortimer was with soft toys. His first one was given to him by my Father eight months ago and only recently has it suffered. Next was Big Ted, from the same source, who was given at Christmas. Two weeks ago I had to perform ear surgery but apart from that Big Ted is fine.

So this week Co-Owner decided that Mortimer needed a new toy. As we were in town we popped into a charity shop to choose a new soft toy, working on the principle that if it's suitable for a baby then it's fine for Mortimer. After searching through we found this rather perky duck.

So after supper we gave Perky Duck to Morts who slunk out into the garden with it, ran round the table a few times and then settled down to get acquainted.

We went back indoors and left him to it. It went very quiet. I went back into the garden. And found a scene of utter devastation, if you're sqeamish then look away now.

Sadly Perky Duck now resembles a spatch cock chicken, so next time we'll need something made of sterner stuff.
