Ben, i used to have a springer next door to me called casper (spooky!)....right bl**dy mad thing it was, if the neighbours left the door open and it escaped it used to take the whole street to catch him.....right nightmare.
So loveable though, it would just stand there wagging it's tail at you as you approached, trying desperately to coax it to you...then at the last second it would bolt, barking and wagging it's tail....you wanted to hug it and throttle it at the same time! funny though
Aah, memories memories
