This picture made me think of the line from the Christmas song "tidings of comfort and joy": that describes my two dogs so well - Mr. Comfort Nic and Miss Joy Splash. Those of you who get Christmas cards from me will probably see this photo again. Splash teamed up with her BC brother Nic for this week's shoot.
Tomorrow Christmas Day will be 6 months that Lily has been gone.To my Lily... I know Santa will be bringing you all my Christmas Kisses and Hugs sweet girl, Mommy loves you, Merry Christmas
Hooman?
Yes Flynn?
I am wet!
I know Flynn, I am too... even my shoes are squishy!
Hooman, why did you let the sky rain on me?
Wha?... Let it...? I... mean... I can't control the weather Flynnie!
You control when we go for a walk!
Umm, yes, fair point... but you see I looked at the forecast & it said it was going to be OK for an hour or 2.
Pfft. Well, this Forecast-thingy lied & it rained & now I am WET!! Very wet. And I am not happy.
I know Flynn, really I know!
And, hooman. The raindrops gave me a headache.
Oh dear.
You tell the rain to go away now.
I, erm... I am sorry... I'm sure the rain will stop soon...
It didn't stop raining! Or, it did stop - but only literally as we got to our front garden. Poor Flynnie, he may have been born & bred on a farm in rainy Scotland but he loathes wet weather. No, that's unfair - he doesn't mind drizzle & even fairly heavy rain isn't an acceptable excuse to miss walks but he passionately hates sudden, heavy downpours we get in spring & summer. He honestly almost seems scared by the sensation of very heavy rain falling on him & if we're caught out in a storm, he'll try to stop & hide undercover. He'll even hide behind my legs, if he think I can shelter him - which for a dog who's often worried by physical contact, is saying something.
I felt so bad about today's walk. The pups, Flynn especially, have been poorly the past few days - I think they've caught a virus, as they both seem to have sore throats (Flynn's bark has gone *really* weird, Barney's a bit hoarse!) & they've been tired & miserable. However, Flynn clearly wanted to stretch his legs, so I checked & re-checked the weather & chose what looked like the driest part of the afternoon... and of course, just as we turned for home, the heavens opened & we all got drenched. Hoping it doesn't set their recovery back - going to give it till Tues/Wed (a week from onset), then we'll have to start thinking about the dreaded V-E-T :( This shot was taken while we huddled under the porch of the old parish church & waited out the worst of the weather... Flynn was telling me about how terrible his life is & what a poor, sad dog he is. That face!!
The girls are now getting on perfectly, after a couple of weeks of jostling for position in the pecking order.
They have now established who is top in each situation, and everyone has their moment as leader.
okay, the title has nothing to do with the picture, but i couldn't stop singing, "they call me mellow yellow..." as i was editing it. lol!!
it has been a busy couple of weeks, a busy summer really, and the dogs and i were long over-due for a quiet evening at home... just relishing in that magical time when the sun starts to go down and the slightest breeze picks up and the day is finally bearable for a few minutes. i liked how the sun was hitting these trees across the road and making everything glow in fall colors. something caught june's eye and she stood here for quite a long time, just watching.
She wanted to have her breakfast and I wasn't fast enough for her so she got in my face and stared at me.
Mummy dogs (aka pigs in a blanket). Peppercorns were used for the eyes and biscuit dough for the "wrapping". This was my first batch so I hadn't quite gotten down the proper wrapping technique yet. I adapted these from this recipe: www.365halloween.com/mummy-dogs (mine aren't veggie and I left off the "green goo")
Update: I think this year's turned out even better, check them out:

And check out how well the "meat head" turned out!
Back from vacation and running out of time trying to catch up on personal and business affairs.
PS: He's actually not feeling well. Got some type of itch making him scratch all over. Going to the vet on Tuesday morning for the first time in his life (outside the annual visit)
PSII: Took him to the vet and the verdict is allergies. Who knew? Is now on anti-histamine with a low dose of cortisone to offer some immediate relief. Hopefully it will work.
PS III: The pills are working. No more scratching, or very little. Yeah!
You met Iris yesterday and today it is Sabine, my friend from Istanbul, who also made the kitchen for her daughter. She opted for red and white and I love this version. And she made some Tilda animals as well. Hope I can convince her to start Flickr-ing

Yep, she's still at it...Mom's still plopping me in front of any flowering tree she can find still blooming...Thankfully, we are down to the very last of the cherries, pears and plums. My friends are warning me that Azaleas are next.

Had the pleasure of looking after Oscar while his family went on a much deserved break for a week at the end of Easter. Shela didn't seem to mind having another dog in the house and we had a great time together.
