Good Doggie!

Eleanor was waiting in a very large sitting room when her Butler entered and cleared his throat.

"Ms Turner and James the dog are waiting in the next room Ms Frobisher-Smyth. Are you ready for them?"

"Yes, please!" Eleanor sat up excitedly "Invite them in!"

The doors opened and Eleanor could scarcely contain her delight. Amy walked in with James naked, on all fours and at the end of a leash. The butler did his best not to show his distaste for all of this.

"Oh, what a nice doggie you are James, come here boy!"

Amy let go of the leash and James barked twice before scampering over to Eleanor, panting excitedly.

"You'll find he is extremely loyal and loving towards you" Amy smiled, proud to have made another customer so happy.

"Who is a good boy?" Eleanor cooed affectionately as she ruffled James' hair and stroke his back "Do you want a treat? Shall mummy give you a treat?"

"Ruff!" James barked emphatically as he looked up at his owner.

Eleanor reached for a nearby carrier bag that was branded with the name of a local pet store. From it she produced a carton of dog biscuits. She opened the lid and pulled out a bone shaped cookie, dangling it over James' head.

"Ruff! Ruff!" James raised up onto his haunches and tried to snatch at the biscuit.

"Oh, who is a hungry boy?" Eleanor teased pulling the biscuit away If you want it you are going to have to beg for it!"

"Ruff! Ruff!" James held ups his hand in the classic dog begging motion and looked hopefully up into Eleanor's eyes. She happily lowered the snack into his mouth and James devoured it greedily as she ruffled his hair again.

"Oh, this is better than I ever could have hoped. Thank you so much Ms Turner!"

"Don't mention it, I am to please!" Amy replied happily "Right, I had better be off then. It was lovely meeting you. I will come by to pick James up on Thursday morning!"

"Oh James, this is going to be so much fun!" Eleanor grinned as she stroked James' back some more and he remained sitting obediently at his owners feet while the butler showed Amy out, taking all of James' clothes with her.
