It's amazing how we have a common bond shared with you having stayed for awhile in Leek when you were a little human girl. It really is such a beautiful, fascinating area to live in. I loved meeting you and your granddad, or grandad, George, a remarkable man. He's doing so well for a human of his age. Of course, he's not as old as me! Arf! <br /><br />Thank you for inviting us for breakfast at the Pawmier, sorry, Premier Inn. The staff at the breakfast reception were starstruck by me. It was so nice to meet you, Sharon. You are a very kind person. My human dad, Gary and I, were honoured to meet you both.<br /><br />I'm going to put up a pawst on Gary's site in regards to your pawst.
