Before Maud turned up at the Le Masurier household, Kippy was the favourite littlest animal. But he lost this status with Maud's arrival and he now hangs around, sometimes hopefully frisky, sometimes glowering sullenly at, Mistress Anna, who no longer calls him "Prince of Doggies", "The Best Doggie in the Whole Wide World" and sundry other endearments. Kippy is now used to this demotion in the Le Masurier pack and only occasionally sniffs Maud with vague interest. Having determined she is no source of food or pattings, he is generally dismissive of her presence.

Actually, this is Nigella commenting. I have cunningly usurped Edgar's cyber identity and will attempt to do the same with his position in the pack order. Kippy, you will be top dog again. You just have to wait until Maud hits adolescence. It's a good thing that we terriers are long lived. Woof!
