Wow, it is Week 72 of The Gallery - I haven't taken part in ages... :( Of course I had to join in this week with the theme being Animals! I was going to be boring and post a pic of our 2 springer pups, but then......... ...I came across this picture which was taken on bank holiday Monday at The Eye Show in Suffolk. We are part of the Cheshire Dog Display Team and the same people also run the Blackrock Llama Display Team so we help with setting up the llama displays as well. Here I am … [Read more...]
The Gallery – Chilled Out
May 11, 2011 by 16 Comments
This was an easy prompt for me. Pretty much the only time I ever feel chilled out is when I'm in my bed. My bed is my sanctuary - I love it. I like to go to bed nice and early, have a nice relax and a read then have some lovely dreams. It is the only place that makes me feel safe. If I am ever upset, you will find me in my bed, trying to hide from the world. Head on over to Sticky Fingers to see the other entries! … [Read more...]
The Gallery – Green
April 27, 2011 by 19 Comments
The theme for this week's Gallery is GREEN. We went down to Wales for the day on Monday and I did try to take some pics of the rolling green hills in from the window if the car as we were travelling home but needless to say they all came out blurry! However, I had taken this pic of a pretty walled garden, and it's pretty green so I thought this would do lol.. ;) … [Read more...]
The Gallery – One Word
March 9, 2011 by 16 Comments
I did struggle to think of something for this week's Gallery, but in the end decided on one word that sums up what is happening in our house at the minute - Injury! Yes, little Holly pup got injured on Sunday afternoon. We don't know exactly how, but our suspicion is that some (scumbag) kids were annoying her & might have pulled her leg through the fence. The kids were playing in the field at the back of our house and were winding the dogs up by barking at them, trying to get them to bark … [Read more...]
The Gallery – Simple Pleasures
March 2, 2011 by 18 Comments
The prompt for this week's Gallery is Simple Pleasures. This was a pretty easy one for me. Ever since we got Chester we have been out nearly every day walking (rain, shine or snow). I think I missed a couple of days as I was ill after Christmas, and I really missed heading outside. I was never an outdoorsy person at all and we rarely used to go for walks by ourselves before we got a dog. Sometimes I really couldn't be bothered going or am feeling really down, but as soon as we get out I … [Read more...]
The Gallery – Expressions
February 23, 2011 by 15 Comments
Week 47 of The Gallery and the theme is Expressions. I chose to use one of our cats, Meg as my model for this! I followed her round most of the morning trying to get some good shots of her. And after some magic by Gary on photoshop (I have no idea how to use it!) here are some of her expressions: We have, from top left to right - michevious Meg, sleepy Meg, content Meg, alert Meg & grumpy Meg! Note to Jess & Jinx (my other 2 cats): I am not playing favourites here using Meg and … [Read more...]
The Gallery – Shapes
February 2, 2011 by 12 Comments
The prompt for this week's Gallery over at Sticky Fingers blog is Shapes. I had an idea of what I wanted to take a picture of - there are some lovely sculptures in our local nature reserve where we take Chester for his walk most days. I think it is amazing how they can carve such lovely shapes out of wood and stone. I had never really looked at this sculpture up close before today but it is meant to represent all the animals that you can find at the nature reserve and it is very well done. … [Read more...]
The Gallery – Children
January 26, 2011 by 27 Comments
I wasn't going to take part in this week's Gallery as I don't have any children. Any "human" children anyway. But then I figured a photo opportunity with new puppy Holly and her big brother Chester was too good to miss. Plus they are my doggy children anyway lol ;). Holly arrived on Monday and she is settling in so well. It really helps that we have Chester here as they just spend their time playing, I don't think she has had time to miss her mum or her litter-mates! She really is a wee … [Read more...]
The Gallery – Mother Nature

This photo was taken this morning on Chester's walk (he is feeling a little better now!). It was a lovely bright, sunny, frosty morning. This photo would have been perfect if we were in Scotland eh? Check out the other entries at Sticky Fingers. … [Read more...]
The Gallery – Body Parts
January 12, 2011 by 12 Comments
Whoop! The first Gallery of 2011 has the theme Body Parts. Ahem... I had a great photo in mind for this week but naturally I couldn't find it on any of our cameras. Bah. I reckon Gary deleted it from his camera phone cos I was sure that's where it was - so we can blame him lol ;) Anyway, I think this photo will do instead. Body parts - see legs there? And you can see my pink toenail peeking in the corner of the pic! This was taken on our boat trip to Ras Mohammed National Park in Egypt … [Read more...]
