PETS AND BOBS<br />
PETS OF LEWES<br />
Eri, 11 months, mongrel<br />
Loves: those fish with the lights on their heads,<br />
long weekends in the Hamptons, the fact that the<br />
German word for hospital is ‘Krankenhaus’.<br />
Hates: tardiness, fake granite work surfaces, close<br />
harmony (barbershop quartets are out, and I mean<br />
OUT).<br />
Eri came all the way from Greece via East Pelion<br />
Animal Welfare, just north of Uckfield. She was<br />
rehomed by the Clarke family in <strong>Lewes</strong> in January.<br />
Eri means ‘protector’ in Greek, but at home she<br />
is mainly known as ‘Spider-Dog’. Eri allows four<br />
year old Spider-Man obsessed Woody to attach<br />
small Spider-Man figures to her harness. She carries them around with admirable stoicism. For equity,<br />
it should also be noted that there is another child in the Clarke household who is called Fin. He<br />
is nine so probably less inclined to tie figurines onto dogs.<br />
Useless dog trivia: The Queen’s first Corgi was called Susan. Dogs have three eyelids, one for everyday,<br />
one spare and one for best. @dogsoflewes
