The Chaps.


Brownie - Pastel agouti robert-type with mis-marked badger face. Brownie is a tramp and will be friends with anyone, he loves making friends and being the centre of attention. Brownie enjoys kissing and being kissing in return.

Update (29/09/98) Brownie has a lump in his left armpit and we're worried it may be a tumour. We are in close contact with our vet and if Brownie's quality of life is affected Vet Jane will operate.

Stripe - Mis-capped lilac with mis-marked badger face. Stripe is the "alpha" of the inhabitants and enjoys sleeping and fighting. He is quite happy to take on any number of opponents and always wins, he's known affectionately as "the Big-boffer".

Update (29/09/98) Stripe twisted his leg while fighting and was also known as "Hoppalong Ratsidy" while he was limping.

Rex - Mis-marked agouti hooded, with bad rexing. Rex is very cute with his curly whiskers and wavy coat. Rex is a homebody who loves cuddling and being cuddled. He is hapiest when cuddled up with another resident, this is usually Brownie or Hoody.

Update (29/09/98) Rex has now got an annoying habit of grabbing fingers when we try to stroke him. He thinks he's getting a treat and grabs accordingly. He's never held on but we're being very careful.

Hoody - Mis-marked silver mink hooded, mummy's big big boy (he's massive). Hoody loves sleeping and can be quite irritable when disturbed. He eats exactly the same as the other Chaps but just gets bigger and bigger.

Update (29/09/98) Hoody has a new nickname "Hovercraft Boy" given to him by the judge at the NFRS Norwich Show. She said it was because his buldges reminded her of the uninflated skirts on a hovercraft. He went on to win Best Pet.
