Been looking for Santa
Introducing Rowan! A red smoke youngster bred by Bella Challis, Grizabella Devon Rex in Suffolk, her sire is Gr. Ch. Southern Tickleme Elmo and her dam is Jonscott Grizabella. A bit of an Elephant's Child, she is, with a 'satiable curtiosity' about everything.

What's she DOING?!!

She has a particularly sunny nature - the only time she complains is when she is being washed, which happens pretty frequently by virtue of her colour and curtiosity. Hence her alternative name of 'Little Red Grub'.
Rowan tells the world where she is and what she is up to, whether the world wants to know or not. The mandatory sound effects include loud thrilling yells as she charges around the house, short 'Rrreeeps' when jumping at something and a soprano 'Waap?' when she is enquiring.

And yes - she does retrieve too - but her tastes are simple - paper balls, narrow strips of cardboard and bits of hay filched from the chinchilla. She'll fiddle around with them on her own for ages before deciding that I should join in. (Ever tried throwing a wisp of hay?) Her latest find is a hard super-bouncy ball which scatters the others but totally fascinates Rowan. She follows the ball, yelling 'Rrreeep' every time it bounces and trying to kill it in mid-air. The ball is strictly rationed as I fear for my glass doors.
More photos will be added in due course, hopefully showing the transformation from little red grub to a stunning young lady in red......
