Jock Colville, the person, wrote a very interesting memoir about his time as one of Churchill's private secretaries during WWII. His working style was eccentric, to say the least.

>> The original Jock meant so much to Churchill &etc
I feel exactly the same way about my own “marmalade coloured” tabby!
So this is Jock V; Jocks I — IV must have lived long lives!

Yet another reason to admire Sir Churchill.

thanks to a request by Sir Winston Churchill.
Well, at least we know they were wanted and loved instead of political props..........aka Buddy and Socks.

Fascinating man Churchill. The 'right person' for his pivotal position in history.
It seems that every time I read more about him I discover another interesting facet. Just the right mix of intellect, bravado and disregard for convention.

He was truly the man of the century. Time gave it to Einstein but it matters not. He has more than enough honours. The one I like the most is that Pol Roger champagne named its luxury brand after him. To me that tops a Nobel or Time magazine. I have a feeling bon vivant Churchill would agree with me.

Just remember that dogs have owners while cats have staff.
Our pair of each impresses that on us daily!

When WSC became Prime Minister in May 1940, he and his family had moved into Ten Downing Street, which had a resident cat, Lady Soames recalls: He was treated with great kindness but we disrespectfully named him Munich Mouser, since he was a holdover from Prime Minister Neville Chamberlains administration.
LOL

This is what he'd look like Post-mush...
Why would you want to mush him? I mean, barbeque may be tastier...

Well, at least we know they were wanted and loved instead of political props..........aka Buddy and Socks. Or Bo. How curious that the dog gets named after The Won's initials! If the girls were so stuck on the name they could have at least named him Beau or Beaux. Also, it sure seems like Mo gets stuck walking him a lot. I thought he was supposed to be their pet?
