PETS AND BOBS<br />
PETS OF LEWES<br />
Archie, 11, Cocker Spaniel. Deaf and blind as a result<br />
of a severe ear infection and cataracts in both eyes. A very<br />
overweight incarnation of Archie was adopted at 6 when his<br />
elderly owner moved into a care home.<br />
Not all rescue pets are heartlessly discarded; many are given<br />
up with much reluctance and Archie, as with many others,<br />
had been dearly loved.<br />
Likes: Serif typefaces, mermaids, anything by Dennis<br />
Waterman, Frazzles.<br />
Dislikes: Betrayal, model villages, people who move the<br />
furniture around, Pat Sharp.<br />
Did you know: A deaf and blind dog can still have an excellent<br />
quality of life, albeit with some caveats – food and drink<br />
bowls must be kept in the same place and care should be taken to keep floors clear of objects. Textured<br />
rugs can be placed in different parts of your home to create a sensory map for easier navigation.<br />
Though still able to pick up on vibrations, an unexpected pat can be startling so always let strangers<br />
know that your pet is deaf and blind.<br />

AGREED AT GLYNDEBOURNE: WIN TICKETS<br />
The world premiere of a new opera is coming to<br />
the Glyndebourne stage this March, featuring a<br />
chorus of around 80 local auditioned singers. Led<br />
by five professional singers and players from the<br />
Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment – one of<br />
the two resident orchestras for the Glyndebourne<br />
Festival – the opera is called Agreed, and is about love,<br />
loss and divided lands, with a multi-genre score by<br />
British composer and conductor Howard Moody that<br />
includes elements of classical, world and jazz music.<br />
We’ve got four pairs of tickets up for grabs for the<br />
opening night of this spectacular show on March 1st.<br />
To get your name into the draw, simply answer the<br />
following question: In which year was Glyndebourne<br />
founded by John Christie and his opera singer wife,<br />
Audrey Mildmay? Please send answers with your<br />
name, telephone number and address to<br />
