What made you smile today?

@snowbunny, I went on your last link and managed to see it. Amazing

The Big and Beautiful Boy has gone home. He and his hooman were overjoyed to see each other again. She has had a great time with her friends, she says they ate too much, drank too much and talked too much, which sounds about right for a college reunion!

I have loved having Keir, and would look after him again very happily. However it has made me realise that probably I wouldn't choose to have such a big dog for myself. I did find myself wondering what I would do if he became injured in any way as I couldn't possibly lift him. Also on our walk thismorning he went further away from me than GGJ ever would! To be fair, three pips on the whistle and he was straight back, bless him, but I felt that I didn't know what he could be running into and I'm so used to having Joy pretty much right by my side. Of course, lovely Keir no doubt sticks by his person's side like glue, because she's his person, but I have to admit that I found him charging off a little worrying! It's made me understand more how other people here feel when their dogs just take off though. Solstice used to do that as a young dog, but my little Joy never has, so I suppose I'm out of practice. It's also made me appreciate my GoodGirl even more!
Pee Ess, not that Keir was being norty, I'm just not his Hooman.
My GGJ makes me smile every day.

I was able to have round 1 of my eye surgery today. I'm currently walking around looking like a Pirate, I can't see anything and I'm pretty groggy from the sedation... But we are getting there.
Thankfully it was in a little standalone day surgery so not affected by Covid closures.

Arrrgggg. Hope things settle down soon, whens the next part?

Next Tuesday. The vision in the right eye is improving every hour. Lots of steroid and antibiotic drops. It's going to be a bit weird not being able to wear my glasses for the other eye though! And I can't wear a contact lens either because it affects the surgery in some way...

@Candy, I rarely have Rourke by my side, he is usually a half field away

Paul took our dogs to Golitha at 7.30 this morning as its going to be 30 degrees here so this will do them for the day . I cant go unfortunately as the paths are uneven , I miss it so much but what I love is that when he brings them home , they come flying in to find me , tails wagging and all excited like they havent seen me in months, bless xxx

Haha, I worry about Cass if she stays close to me all the time! Although she's now a grown up at 5 she does do more often.

Up on the moor thismorning we ran into Heather with her two GRs, Elsa and Gelert. She was with a friend who had a Doodle. I always think of Heather as more of a dog person than a people person. Today she introduced her friend to GGJ (not me, you notice ) by saying "This is Joy. She has a beautiful soul ". Ah! That really makes me smile every time I think about it. She's right of course and I'm so pleased she's noticed!

Look who brought his hooman to visit us thisafternoon when they were meant to be going to the shops!

I was looking at the painting @FayRose did for me of Fred and Annie. I love it so much, it is so like them.

Truly fabulous to have that

On our morning walk I saw a kingfisher and two enormous dragonflies.

A lovely start to the day.

Darling boy. I’m so glad she feels free to drop in.

Hoping you might not need your scooter soon......? But good news for sure!

Finally, after a rather tortuous 18 months (hasn't it been for all) my daughter has moved herself to her boyfriends farm. I say tortuous as there has been a lot of angst to buy a house or not by a house, the details of which I won't go into, but having got herself a new job closer to him she has taken her horse and dog and gone to live there, which is what he's wanted for years.
Between them they've sectioned off a corner of a cattle building and securely fenced a paddock for Rosie.
I cannot help smiling and feeling happy for L, that she can now just go outside and her beloved mare is right there and she can quietly enjoy her, It's been such a long time since that has been the case.

 

[kateincornwall]

Sounds ideal for her and her boyfriend too, Helen and I bet its very quiet at yours now xx

 

[Selina27]

Probably a bit quieter @kateincornwall , she's only 18 miles away and Reeva will be coming here on Mondays, so it is ideal for me. My son is still here for the time being.
