Oliver - 'Olly'

31/10/2024

If you ever get to NZ - this is a trip well worth doing. An experience of a lifetime.

Have you ever seen bioluminescence?

When the conditions are just right, we get the most magical experience when we head out night kayaking.

The official definition is "the emission of light be a creature" but we prefer the more magicla definition "the shimmering radiance of protozoans in tropical seas".

Tiny small creatures convert energy from the sun into beautiful radiant blue-white light that they emit when they are disturbed - by a kayak paddle for example.

It's a stunning phenomenon and one that we love to share with our guests.

That look 😁
Spinone’s - (and I’m pretty sure Olly is part Spinone) are known for having human eyes.

Setter Senior MONKEY
Vielleicht findet sich ja hier wer, der ein Herz für den tollen Rüden hat?

✴️Steckbrief
Geboren: 2015
Geschlecht: Rüde
Rasse: Englischer Setter
Größe: mittelgroß
Wartet seit:
Familientauglich: Ja
Mit Artgenossen verträglich: Ja

Charakter:
Monkey ist ein wunderbarer, lieber und verschmuster Englischer Setter, der am liebsten den ganzen Tag den Kopf an deine Brust lehnen und genießen würde. Im Rifugio zeigt er sich als relativ ruhiger Setter, was aber auch vor allem daran liegen könnte, dass er eine sehr dominante Hündin im Gehege hat. Dennoch ist er dort kein Hund, der rumflitzt wie ein Reh, sondern eher entspannt. Monkey ist verträglich mit allen Hunden, lässt sich gerne das Fell kämmen und schneiden, hat auch kein Problem damit, dass ihm die Ohren sauber gemacht oder die Krallen geschnitten werden. Leider hat Monkey Leishmaniose und vermutlich ist das der einzige Grund, wieso diesen tollen Rüden noch keiner adoptiert hat. Denn ansonsten gibt es nichts an Monkey, was nicht absolut liebenswert ist. Seine Leishmaniose ist aber unter Kontrolle und er hat keinerlei Symptome.

Some great shots of HRH (so called by Della-David Kyle) because of his regal, ‘get that for me would you?’ poses and for the way he looks at you. ❤️👑🇬🇧

Tiny walks now so Mum has to get to the gym to get her steps in while Olly sleeps in the sunshine.

Olly enjoying life. Not walking too far.
Off to the vet next week for his monthly shot of librella.
🤞it gives him the chance for a few more steps.
He wants to go further but his poorly leg won’t let him ☹️

Olly turned back on his walk this morning, stretched himself across the neighbours lovely soft grass & then panted all the way home - stopping only to ask for treats.

He’s been sleeping ever since. Dreaming of someone who has a birthday today no doubt.

Awww 🥰 he’s getting old.

Gorgeous morning walk - lots of sniffs for Olly.

Beautiful 🤩

Olly-bobs, aka HRH, aka Reilly is still living his best life. He’s wobbly on his legs & doesn’t walk so far now, but he still loves his walks, sniffs & ‘Olly-flops’ (head down, bum up, rolling in the grass). He still loves digging - but not for long now as his legs hurt - just enough to see off the flowers I planted 🙄
He’s making the best of the time he has left ❤️

“I’m just gonna lie here Mum while I wait for you to throw me treats. No, not those boring bone shaped ones - the heart shapes & peanut butter ones. This grass is so soft. I love it Mum. The neighbour doesn’t mind - I’m waiting for a belly rub. Any chance?”.

When I want to rest, I rest 😊

The caretaker of this land has put plenty of new walkways in. Lots of new sniffs for Olly.

Still enjoying life - still doing the ‘Olly flop’ - head down, bum up, rolls over for treats & tummy tickles. Hates being indoors but he does come in to sleep at night.

His limp is getting steadily worse but he has good and bad days.

Still hates the rain.
Still prefers to dig a pit to sleep in instead of his comfy bed
Still plays the ‘Hokey cokey’
Still knows how to work us humans 😂

Gorgeous Greek boy ❤️

Always waiting…..for the walk, rest or treats ☺️

WooHoo! 🙌
1st 5-star review on Amazon for 'In My Own Words' - the easy way to write your life story.

Small businesses need and really appreciate that support.

It's the book I'm most proud of so far - I’m very proud of Olly’s book too 😊

It'll make a lovely Father's Day present - there's still time to place an order 😁 hint, hint.
