Fraggle says: "Hi, my name is Fraggle, and I'm a mischievous seven-week-old cairn terrier. People seem to think I look like some muppet called Spit the Dog but I have no idea what they're talking about. Come to think of it, I've got no idea why they call me Fraggle either. I'd like to say that I enjoy long walks in the park and socialising, but because I've only just had my vaccinations I'm not allowed out beyond the back garden for the next four weeks. I must say I'm a little concerned for my eyesight, though. Even at this tender young age, whenever I look up there's a sudden bright flash or several bright flashes. If I roll over on my back, FLASH! If I yawn, FLASH! If I nuzzle *anything,* again, FLASH! I tell you, being a puppy is no easy ride. I'm looking forward to getting old and ugly and maybe they'll leave me alone for five minutes. Then again, being a puppy has its plus points. I can pee pretty much anywhere I like but if I pee outside I get a treat." See more pictures of the adorable Fraggle on her Flickr page.
