Congratulations to my good friend Feli, well done girl.

Well I got woken up early this morning, Hoomum saying we are going to a show and I thought is she bloody crazy, it's freezing and it's my day of rest, but I thought I better show willing and she'd warmed the car up for me, apparently I was amazing, my first run i really tried hard and after a feeling a little nervous to start I found my legs and I ran the fastest I could but followed mums every instruction. I was slightly distracted in the other 2 runs but still managed a clear in both in course time, so here I am with these rosettes that I would quite like to chew.

I'm not sure Sunday could get much better than this, up early fed and watered the horses, made sure the cat was happy and took these two on a lengthy meander around the crisp yet glorious countryside...

It would simply not do justice to the situation to say Freddy likes a ball. It would only touch the margins if I said he loved a ball but what really connects this picture with the truth is Freddy is completely obsessed with a ball.

Nothing quite like a lengthy walk in the crisp frost, needless to say Freddy was in his element...

Perhaps one of the greatest privelages is how for a short period within the friendship we find a dog and when that dog comes into our life the truth unfolds, actually the dog found us...

A friendship short enough to last an entire lifetime.

Go hug your dog.

Late evening last week I was stopped by a Parking Ticket Officer as I was putting Cay in my car, a cheery polite chap...

He said to me, "my advice to you coming from a position of care is to avoid travelling with your dog and if you do always open the windows so you do not breath the same air as your dog as they carry many germs"

It was late evening and I didn't have the energy to respond with the thoughts of my mind so I simply humoured him.

Getting in my car and reaching over to my Cay, I held him tight and kissed him, I thought if he only you knew who I was and what I do for a living.

🤣🤣🤣
