As you know he is called Speed. He also has another alias: Alfie Beastie (you have to have read the book!) We have had no problems with him with any of the animals (2 cats, 12 chooks, 13 sheep, 1 pig, 1 pony and 2 children) though we did have to squirt one of the cats to leave him alone! It is like we have always had him and wouldn't be without him even when he steals my cheese. The picture is of Speed and a friend of his, Ernie.
