86. Bagworth - House and Pet Sitting - Episode 22

After a three-hour drive from Bordon, heading north, we found ourselves at the next sit in Bagworth, which was marketed as Market Bosworth, a lovely little town 5 miles away. The owners advertised the location in a similar manner to real estate agent.

We caught up with the owners the day before they left for their three-and-a-half-month holiday; a trip to New Zealand then a cruise back to the UK. Treacle, our charge, seemed independent and quite capable of looking after himself. After a week, we referred to him as Mr. Puddykins, after the Johnny English reference.  Treacle was a bruiser. He'd been rescued, having lived the first eight months of his life in their shed and the surrounding fields. He was antisocial, independent and feisty. His face and demeanor shouted f*** you! And he'd bite if he felt like it.
