Here we were busy working at an address in Finchingfield doing the chimneys to a couple of large stoves, when we had a cheeky little visitor in the side compartment of the van. This was Poppy the customers little black Cocker Spaniel bitch, presumably on the hunt for some food, Cockers are known to be food obsessed life forms! “Yes, I’m checking out this van, I’m giving it a really good sniffing, but there is no food here”! Poppy is still quite young, not much over a year old, so she is still a pup really and the world is still such an exciting place, so who wouldn’t want to check out something new when it suddenly turns up on your driveway! The customer also have an old Chocolate Brown Labrador called Kato, who was being very well behaved and wasn’t going anywhere near the van and actually looked a bit sheepish, obviously concerned about what naughtiness his younger colleague was getting up to. They both did really make us laugh and brightened the working day.

The good news was that we didn’t drive off with the customers dog inside the van, and that both the customers stoves and chimneys were absolutely fine. Happy days!
