I am sorry to report that he has indeed come back.

Manitas, Limpit and I have just returned from a quick trip to the European continent, for a birthday party. We had a walk around Calais this afternoon, and to our horror, were recognised by the puppy, just near the lighthouse. It seems he and Jolene ran out of money whilst on a bender in the Cafe du Paris and he was trying his hand at busking to try and raise the Euros. Needless to say he was failing miserably and Jolene was having similar luck selling "favours" on the Rue Royale.... We took pity on them and smuggled them back over the channel, disguised as a pair of novelty slippers and they are presently in our spare room "recovering" as Jack put it.

They will be returned to the appropriate domicile (I'm not telling which one, in case you try and move house) just as soon as they've been reunited with the puppies, which I understand were hired out to a Central London toy store, with the instructions to 'look cute and do back flips' in exchange for food.

I daresay that he'll post some more pictures when he can...
