He also hated our very nice vet. Each and every time he went to the vet, just as we pulled into the car park he would proceed to drop a very sloppy one on his tail. He was a long haired cat. So the vet's first job was to clean him up. I am sure that cat knew what he was doing.Elephant's Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06650565833097914052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-19174492490147965382012-10-18T02:15:44.091+00:002012-10-18T02:15:44.091+00:00Your Berlingo sounds like a pair of comfy shoes.

This should impress the cheeky fellow who said "I see your Berlingo is not looking too grand!" Two grand?
