Ewok No More

Tue, 05 Jun 2018 15:39:31 +0100

This morning Charlie looked like an Ewok. Or a very small Chewbacca. His ears had shrunk into his fur and his feet were just fluffballs on the ends of his legs.

I think he rather likes being mistaken for a macho actor.

(Hilarious huh)

But, unbeknown to him, Mom had booked him in to see Helen at the groomers this morning, to sort out his shaggy ewokness.

He doesn’t really like being groomed.

#Birdwatch Weekend

Sun, 28 Jan 2018 14:47:45 +0000

This weekend, lots of people all over the UK sit for an hour in their garden, or looking out of the window, and keep count of all the birds they see there. This is the RSPB Birdwatch I think this is so that they can see which birds are getting rare and which are more common. We did it this year, me and Mom. It was very relaxing but then we often sit and watch the birds anyway. These are the ones…

Good Will To All

Thu, 14 Dec 2017 21:33:25 +0000

It’s that time of year again, when everybody seems to be talking of Christmas dinner, shopping for presents, and spending time with their families. But not everybody loves this time of year. For some it is a lonely time. It’s getting close to Christmas Day And I keep hearing people say You must me cheerful, must have fun, Festive cheer to everyone! The children smile and get excited As trees and…

I Hate Balloons

Sun, 12 Nov 2017 09:17:19 +0000

There are things in life that have no meaning or purpose. Or if they do, then I have no idea what it is! But then I’m just a houndy so what do I know? Oh tell me please, what is this for? I found it on the kitchen floor! I touched it gently with my nose Eyes widened as the thing arose It floated off across the floor Then bounced back when it reached the door. I jumped and backed away at speed So…

My Place

Wed, 25 Oct 2017 19:10:01 +0100

I’m a pretty easy going hound and my life is pretty darned good. I have no wish to be top dog here, thats Moms place. But we all have to push our luck now and then and see how far we can go. Don’t we? Right at the beginning I lay upon on the floor But as I grew in confidence I found I wanted more The next step in my ladder climb Was sleeping on my chair I liked this very much indeed I felt quite…

Greyhounds Gather…..

Today was the day of the GGG, and I set off a little bit excited at seeing some of my friends again! It wasn’t a long drive and we were there in no time! I met up with lots of Twitter friends, and some other hounds I hadn’t met before! There were big houndies, whippets and tiny houndies! Even quite a few honorary houndies like Charlie. I met up with Robbie. I like Robbie. I met Kai for the first…

Summers Here!

Sat, 17 Jun 2017 16:54:05 +0100

Its the weekend, and I think summer has finally arrived! We had bright sunshine even when we got up at 6 o’clock this morning! And now it’s hot, real hot. I am in my element! I love summer! The sun is shining up there In a sky that’s wide and blue No fluffy clouds to hide her From the likes of me and you. I lie here in my garden Just soaking up her heat Not moving till I have to Then I get up on…

#HoundsOfCannock J17

Sun, 11 Jun 2017 17:34:19 +0100

Today me and Mom went up to Cannock Chase for a greyhound tweet up! It was a fabulous day as always and we all had a lovely day! It was sunny and warm and I met a lot of greyhounds and whippets, and I met baby Esmee too. What can I say except just look at the photos, see the happy faces, they speak for themselves! Aren’t greyhounds fabulous? Bella

Charlie Got A Haircut

Tue, 25 Apr 2017 11:42:08 +0100

After Charlie’s little melanoma episode, he got a lot of extra fuss and treats, but now he is back to complete health, Mom decided it was time he had a haircut. As always we went to see Helen and Steph at Brackley. Charlie looked quite pleased at the prospect, I think. However I stayed at home, because the last time I went, I was tricked into having a bath!! That was not nice! However, I think…

8Who Decides?

Sun, 02 Apr 2017 17:35:26 +0100

Today was a lovely day, warm and sunny. Apart from the short while Mom was out taking Charlie to the vet, we spent the whole day in the garden. And as always, when I lie in the sun, my mind wandered. Who decides what’s right or wrong? And who decides what’s fair? It’s “people” make these judgements For others in their care. So does a dog have any say On what it wants to do? If it’s in need or…

Todays Walk

Sat, 11 Mar 2017 16:14:35 +0000

Mom wasn’t feeling very well yesterday. She stayed home and we spent most of the day on the sofa. It was nice to have her there even if she did keep saying “shhhhh” to Charlie. This morning, she looked a bit brighter, but she was still coughing, and seemed a little sad and tired. She said she had a headache. She kept looking at her phone too, as if it might ring, but it didn’t. Not once. Anyway,…
