Spring grass is greener
The stems and stalks are taller
Nature’s endless gifts
Natural healthy fibre
My Doggies joyful pasture

Frankie has been with me for 9 months now, and he’ll be 6 in July and I’ll be 71 in July …


Frankie
Frankie is my doggie
Supposedly a champagne colour
But more like a dirty off-white
woolly picnic blanket
Friendly by nature
On hind legs he prances
Then promptly hit sits
Holds out his soft curly paw
He has the Cafe waitresses
Melt at his doggie command
Frankie knows how to score
Treats galore come his way
He is a happy winner everyday

This gorgeous boarder is a precious reminder, that it’s time !! for Ivor to become a doggie owner again. I’m thoroughly enjoying her company and her love.


.

Here I am again, minding my furry friend Cyndi for the Weekend. It’s so hot outside, I.m afraid we are both confined to indoor activities.
Cyndi on my bed last night …

Cyndi watching me do my exercises……

Cyndi watching me make breakfast…..

Cyndi waiting for a piece of my breakfast….. she’s already been fed !!

Cyndi on the lounge with me……

Cyndi in Lily’s old bed…. She doesn’t quite fit !! Watching me in my writers haven…..
As you can see, Cyndi is very busy and flat out keeping an eye on me !!
Cheers
Ivor And Cyndi , Woof woof….
Laying beside me, she quietly snores
Upon my pillow, her out-stretched fluffy paws
Slowly she awakes, breakfast is due
Nuzzling my face, come-on you !
Looking straight at me, friendly brown eyes
Wagging her tail, she’s forever loving and shy
Long golden ears, flip and flop
Smooches and cuddles, she never stops

Hi dear readers, Ivor’s at it again, looking after a gorgeous dog for ten days. Let me introduce you to “Cyndy”, I’m minding her, while her owner is away on holidays. Cyndy and and I are dear friends from a few years ago, when we all lived together, Lily and Cyndy, Ivor and Sue,….. Sue is my ex-girlfriend/partner from those days. Cyndy is a snuggly King George Cavalier, and she’s a healthy 9 year-old bundle of joy, and she hasn’t left my side since she arrived here this morning. We are in for a lovely time together over the next ten days, and as you can see in the below picture, Cyndy has already made herself at home, up on my bed…. xx
