Bindi constantly amazes me with her loyalty.
Following a serious accident I am now totally dependent on a walking frame to get around. Bindi rarely leaves my side. Whenever I get up she immediately stands in front of the walker then takes a few steps until the walker bumps her gently in the bum, then she takes a few more steps until the walker bumps her again, and so on. She checks each time by looking back to see how I'm doing.
She has been doing this now for nearly 5 months!
Before she used to love to 'escape' as soon as the gate or door was opened. It took forever to get her back. Now she goes out but comes back after a few minutes - it's as though she knows she is my carer!
What a darling she is!

Back again after a long absence. It's hard to believe that it has been over a year!!!
Sorry, some photos are missing as I had to move my website to a new host and forgot to amend the links. Will try to add them back if I can.
Wonder what happened to everyone? Is Topaz still around?
Cheers

As you think about your goals for the coming year....

 

Try to think outside the box!

A Dog's Plea

Treat me kindly, my beloved friend, for no heart in the entire world is more grateful than the loving heart within me.

Do not break my spirit with a stick, for though I may lick you hand between blows, your patience and understanding will more quickly teach me the things you would have me learn.

Speak to me often, for your words are the world's sweetest music, as you must know by the fierce wagging of my tail when the sound of your footsteps falls upon my waiting ear.

Please take me inside when it is cold and wet, for I am a domesticated animal, no longer accustomed to the bitter elements.

I ask no greater glory than sitting at your feet beside the hearth.

Keep my pan filled with fresh water, as I cannot tell you when I suffer thirst.

Feed me clean food so I may stay well to romp and play, to walk by your side and stand ready, willing and able to protect you with my life, should your life be in danger.

And my friend, when I am old and no longer enjoy good health, hearing and sight, do not make heroic efforts to keep me going for I am not having any fun.

Please see to it that my life is taken gently.

I shall leave this earth knowing with the last breath that I draw, that my fate was always safest in your hands.

For this I thank you.
