Oscar On The Moon


Oscar and I recently went to the Chalkpits in Cherry Hinton. It is a bizarre place!! It is a totally lunar landscape and well worth a visit. These pictures don't really do it justice, but you get the general idea.




Snoozers!


How cute are these two?
This is Pippa and Red snoozing at our home when she and Archie 
came to stay with us while their families were on holiday. 
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Max and Pippa



Here's a quick pic of Max and Pippa recently. Archie had better watch out because Max may just steal his lady from him! Pippa and Max are both high energy dogs who love to run in circles. Whereas Archie, is a slave to the ball! If he doesn't pay more attention to Pippa he may lose her! More on this love triangle to follow soon!!!

Awwwwwww!


Red is just the sweetest dog ever! She is teething at the moment and seems to be obsessed with cardboard and carpet! No box is safe in our house. But she is so placid and laid back, as you can see. I hope we don't spoil her!

Tina's New Pals


Tina is still pining for Sasha but she has made great new friends in Pippa and Archie, who have taken her under their paws. Archie and Tina have a good sniff around the sides of the park together.





Whilst, Pippa and Tina like to chase each other around in circles. Tina has realised that Pippa is the Boss but still likes to challenge her. Pippa thinks it is all fantastic fun!!

Beautiful Sasha

Sadly, Sasha was put to sleep yesterday after a brief violent struggle with illness. She very quickly deteriorated over a few weeks and so the kindest thing to do was to let her go over the Rainbow Bridge. Her family and all who knew her are deeply saddened. 

I first met Sasha when I first started working in the pub where she lived, The Square and Compasses in Great Shelford. She stood at the top of the stairs and I at the bottom. She took one look at me and growled, as if to say, "I don't know you, what do you want?". After this initial meeting she became friendlier and would sit behind the bar at the end of a shift and lean on me as if the weight of the world on her shoulders, waiting for silky ears to be stroked or I would chase her and Tina around the big round table in the lower bar. 

She was a beautiful quirky dog who loved nothing more than to eat a bar mat or bark out of the window at people passing underneath.  I have seen her scare a great many "big men" in the pub with a single woof, pulling chairs in front of them as shields when she paused to say hello to them. She was not by any means aggressive, she was just very large! She made whoever worked behind the bar feel totally safe, knowing that upstairs lay several stone of solidness who could be called upon to stand by your side should you need her. Luckily these occasions were extremely infrequent, she was just good for moral support.
I will miss her so much, I hope she is laying by a river somewhere in the sunshine, barking at ducks and swans or perhaps chasing rabbits through a field. Goodnight my girl, I'll never forget you. x
