CrazyRedHead says:

..."He sleeps for at least 16 hours a day and no longer ventures outside of the family's home in St Austell, Cornwall.

Mrs Thorne, a housekeeper, said Mischief was still a 'huge part' of their family and is adored by their 20-month-old daughter, Skye.

Her husband Chris, 51, has owned Mischief since he was 24. "
