I spent most of the summer wearing this stupid flea collar.
The cuter I look, the more treats I get, so I do try
They have been teaching me how to wink - with limited success
Back to work for the new year. Heres Gerry Cott playing a song
And the lovely Keavy Lynch giving me a back massage
Now that I am a senior dog, I am fully trained in how to cope with little people pulling my whiskers
The trick with swimming in cold weather is keeping your hair dry
Heres my new best friend. (Now that Tito is gone)
His names Boston
Wherever we go walking, people turn their heads.
heres my friend Ray Galton
And here I am with Leo - who told me he is leaving to go to Australia where I will need a passport to visit him
My friend Daisy
Here's a lovely story of animal behavior from Johannesburg.
This gray pigeon arrived in Evelyn's garden some Months ago along with three others. When the others flew away it became clear this fellow couldn't fly. Evelyn put the bird cage in the garden to provide shelter for him. He seems happy living in this cage.
It seems this bird was injured by an electric fence, and has no use of his wings.
His mate however, the white bird in this picture, came back the next day to visit her husband. And every day after that, flying away at night, and returning every morning.
both seem quite comfortable with this arrangement.
His mate goes up into the feed tray, which is is obviously unable to reach. She pushes food off the edge for him to eat. feed.jpg
And heres where they went while I was guarding the house
