This is Ringo my fave little girl Jack Russell of all time :-)))))))....... but u might be able to see she is looking a little worried ....... about her friend Pumpkin ....... a Jack Russell cross...... who is suffering a bit of mega drama............. Pumpkin is in the British Embassy service ....... She has seen distinguished diplomatic service in Washington DC and Sri Lanka.
But on her latest mission to Tehran, Pumpkin found herself embroiled in a diplomatic incident as hundreds of protesters chanting ‘Death to England’ stormed the British Embassy and looted the residence of her master, Ambassador Dominick Chilcott.
Ringo and Pumpkin are friends from running about in Rock Creek Park together when they both lived in DC ....... the Embassy backed on to Rock Creek and me and Ringo would often bump into Pumpkin and Jane the Ambassador's wife on morning walks down by the river.
The ambassador had to leave Pumpkin behind to get all the other staff out. I'm sure the Marines might have done it differently with their no man left behind thing ...... which I'm sure they would apply to dogs..... but I expect Pumpkin is keeping a stiff upper lip...... as is required when you are in the service to the Queen...... but even so ..... its must be a very worrying time for..... Pumpkin...... and Jane and Dominick ...... and of course for me and Ringo.
I'm glad all the people got out OK...... Here's to all our friends at the British Embassy ......... And we are all sincerely hoping for good news about Pumpkin.
