Gracie & Macy

My holiday photos have now been added to Flickr – there are a lot of them!
Yesterday we climbed Slemish and the view was lovely. I had forgotten that it provides a wonderful view of the Antrim Hills. We saw hills, Lough Neagh, sea and Scotland. Gracie thought [...]

How much is that doggy in the window?

How much is that doggy in the window?

Macy kept us all entertained with her marvellous renditions of “How much is that doggy in the window?” while we were on holiday in Co Kerry. She sings beautifully. It really was a doggy heaven holiday. Macy and Gracie were delighted to [...]

Wee Buns

Originally uploaded by ZMB.

I’ve not got a lot of time to write but have a heap of stuff I want to share. Like buns (Old-Fashioned Chocolate Cupcake with Coconut Buttercream Frosting) and quiche lorraine. Both delicious.
Yesterday, Gracie experienced her first big party and she coped very well [...]

Gracie’s Great-Grandfather

This is a picture of Gracie’s great-grandfather. You can see where her curly tail came from.

Fractured

Last weekend was spent gadding about and walking into things.
On Saturday I went to St George’s Market with my mum and sister. Gracie went to Cully and spent the day being chased around Pearlie’s mobile by Bonnie the German Shepherd.
On Sunday we climbed Slieve Donard and were rewarded with a bit of a view, [...]

While the cat’s away…

… Zoe and Gracie will play.

D’s away today and tomorrow – diving in Scotland. So, Gracie and I went for 3 walks, tidied the house (Gracie declined to help with the vacuuming as she is scared of the vacuum), and we visited my Granny.
Gracie was given the opportunity to play with my Granny’s neighbour’s [...]

Perspective

Back again and boy did I miss Gracie! We took a couple of photos of her and set up a Gracie shrine wherever we stayed.
I kept worrying that something awful would happen to her. Then I realised that there was no point worrying; what harm could befall her lying on the lap of [...]

Rory

Since Christmas I’ve been meaning to call in to visit D’s granny; she had told me that she had a picture of her old dog Rory for me to look at. By the sound of it Rory was a much loved and well travelled dog, and a bit of a scamp. He was [...]

Rounding Off the Year

Christmas! Who can really be bothered? New Year? What’s the fuss about?
The season is nearing its end and I couldn’t be happier.
Of course I had a grand time and was given some lovely gifts, especially the charity gifts. Christmas Day Dinner was had at D’s parents and was very tasty. [...]

Car-less

No time to write these days what with the rush to get all my Christmas presents completed and finish watching my Buffy the Vampire Slayer box set (one year after I received it).
Gracie has been with us for nearly a year now and I wouldn’t be without her, even though she is spoilt rotten. [...]

Shivering and Hungry

Poor Gracie is sat shivering on my lap. Partly because we had a bath and partly because she knows her dinner is ready, and it’s got lambs liver in it. We are both on a diet of comforting foods tonight. I’m having sausages, mash and onion gravy.
D is away on a diving [...]

Joggers

Gracie is a nasty wee bitch when it comes to unknown dogs, but we have been trying hard to keep her under control. A woman we met on the beach in Portstewart recommended that we try the scary, shakey bottle – a small, plastic bottle filled with stones that when shaken distracts the bold [...]
