RANDOM REMINDER

WATCH DOQ

Hardly had we finished, yesterday, ■ recording the activities of Tahn, the Labrador cross which dug so large a hole in its owners’ garage that their car fell in, than we were presented with further evidence of this large and useless animal’s backward ways.

The disaster of the garage persuaded the young couple who own Tahn to keep the dog indoors — this although Tahn has proved quite conclusively that as a watchdog he is absolutely unemployable. “A wink at him” says his

disgruntled owner “and he thinks you love* him.’* At a smile, he is liable to fall on to. his back and kick delightedly.

If it was a mistake to have Tahn inside and it was a mistake, for he has a regular habit of knocking things off things to leave him there alone while they went out for a couple of hours was absolute disaster.

They came hoAie to ruin. Tahn, no doubt trying to register his annoyance at the quality of the television programme—they had been foolish enough to Mve it on, and

Lassie was on the programme had got into the back of the set. The »" bill of cost there was two resistors, a transformer,

and two valves. Tahn, no doubt in a reflective moment, had bitten the TV aerial in half.

And as a piece de - resistance, he had demol- *. ished and left in tatters * a large album of wedding * photographs, which had - cost the young bride- * groom the tidy sum of $5O. And there he was, wagging his great tail. - smiling broadly, and lov- , ing everyone. Strangely, .everyone , still loves Tahn?
