A Little Ditty About Jack & Sika

A mug’s game…

t’s the one thing you instinctively don’t want to happen when it comes to interviewing sweet kids who plainly have no desire to be in front of the camera…

The danger of talking too much, just to make sure the kid in question is never left hanging, never stranded out in the cold stare of that lens, struggling for something to say.

And so it was with the rockin’ Jack Ferns this afternoon.

Here’s a fine young man who, thanks to the love he felt for his late, lamented – and magnificent – mutt, Sika, won our recent Me & My Pooch competition.

There with his pop, John Ferns, outside Vanity Fur – Maria & co having kindly donated a free VIP dog groom as part of the prize – Jack was happy as all heck to have won. He just wasn’t so sure about being in the spotlight.

So, GG did most of the yakking, and, thankfully, Jack seemed to have a good time.

Shout-out too, to mum, Roisin, who sent in that wonderful pic of boy and best friend having a fine day out in the woods.

As discussed in the interview, Jack and I will be forming a nightly posse to get rid of Greystones feline feckers. Bring a torch, and a bucket of water, tonight, outside Ireton’s, at 9pm…
