CLAUDE Lights! Camera! Action! RS SEEN ON TV Alex Smith

In a house on Waggy Avenue, number 112 to be exact, there lives a dog called CLAUDE. Claude is a dog. Claude is a small dog. Claude is a small, plump dog who wears the snazziest of sweaters and a jaunty red beret.

Claude lives with his best friend Sir Bobblysock who is both a sock and quite bobbly. He also lives with Mr and Mrs Shinyshoes. Every day Claude waits for them to shout 'Cheerio!' and skip out of the door to work, then he and Sir Bobblysock have an adventure. Where will our two chums go today...?

One morning (it was a Thursday) Claude was in the garden with his beret on, and he was being VERY busy and important. Sir Bobblysock was out there too -lying on a sun lounger with his cardigan around his shoulders. It was the first time he'd been out of the house for a week, as he'd had a chill all down the one side. jmkfho. Claude was busily and importantly hanging out all his dressing-up costumes to dry.

'There!' he said, stepping back to admire his handiwork. 'Now it is time for a treat!' Claude whipped his beret off and had a jolly good rummage around until he found what he was looking for- a gigantic box with a trampoline inside. It had arrived in the post the other day- a present from one of Claude's friends who had a circus.

Claude set up the trampoline and started to bounce. Up and down Claude went, high up in the air. His ears flapped about beautifully behind him. 'Come and have a go! Claude called to Sir Bobblysock. Sir Bobblysock said that he'd love to. but he'd just had a cream horn and didn't want it coming back up again with all the bobbling about.
