STORY OUTLINE

A large dog called Riley has been staying at Weasley’s house again, leaving Weasley feeling anxious and neglected. Ron reminds him of Whittaker’s advice and suggests that Weasley should present his owner with a special gift. Weasley catches an enormous rat but it slips from his grasp and ends up loose in the house, much to his owner’s dismay.

BACKGROUND

This story was originally published on my website on 23rd April 2019 just after I’d had Riley, a gorgeous border collie/golden retriever cross belonging to my daughter, staying at my house. Weasley was suitably unimpressed and a few days after Riley went home Weasley caught, not a rat, but a stoat and brought it into the house at 1:00am. The stoat was very much alive and made a horrendous noise. I managed to round up the stoat and Weasley. I locked them both in the lounge and left the sliding door open, hoping they’d sort it out amongst themselves without too much mess or noise. I’m happy to say that they did and Weasley has never caught a stoat since!
