Not Happy

 

Kirra is not at all happy.

Reason being, we have a work force in our home, changing our central heating from solid fuel to that of Electric Storage Heating.  The upheaval should last until the end of the week (if all goes well) which is just as well, as the weather is due to become much colder over the weekend.

Spring – Fickle

 

Spring over here and you will see it can be rather fickle.

Glorious sunshine

Who You Meet

 

When out walking, it is interesting who you meet along the way.

This morning, Kirra and I met up with a couple who had (2) ruby Cavaliers (mother and daughter Cavaliers) and immediately they all took an interest in each other as well as we their respective owners in getting to know one another.

Meeting folk and their dogs is always wonderful and only adds to the joy of dog walking.

St Patricks Day

 

As many of you will know, my beautiful Kirra was born in Ireland.

A country of mystique, genuine folk and abundance for life.

They also brought my Loving companion into my Life – and she retains the status of an affectionate Irish Princess.

Dad’s Got a New Gadget

 

Dad and his gadgets.  His mobile phone got water damage, after we got caught in a deluge of rain.  So he looks for something more suitable on the internet.

Kirra - January 09 

 

And this is what he found.

Yes a Camera, Mobile Watch – all combined with a keypad and dual sim,– so all he need do is fit it to his wrist (like an ordinary watch) and that means he has more spaces in his pockets for my many treats and of course the essential poo bags.

Military Training Zone

 

Living so close to a Military Training Area, does mean the misfortune of hearing guns and the sound echoing throughout the moors can be distressing for my Kirra.

Hence, sometimes she remains on a leash, as soon as she hears the guns, her intention is to get back home quickly.  Hopefully she will get used to the sounds and that she will not come to any harm.

Has anyone had similar response from their pets, and how did they deal with it.

Birthday Girl

 

My Irish Princess is 4 today.  This is the 1st photo I received of my then puppy when she lived in Ireland.  As you can see I fell in love with her immediately.

Kirra-baby

 

She had to travel on (2) ferries to get to me and the weather was stormy conditions – but she made it safely and was a joy to finally see her.  She was in a travel cage for the journey and now she has a fabric travel carrier,which is huge, although collapses for easy transport.  She still loves her fabric travel carrier and often looks on it as her quiet comfort zone.

How the years have flown over and throughout, Kirra has brought so much happiness into my life, and indeed all that she meets.

The look – says it all.

Dad’s idea of photo taking.

Has Anyone

 

Has anyone seen or even got one of these.

A great idea and one in which I could see my Kirra absolutely love such a comfort setting.

One Knows

 

One instinctively knows, when one is been watched.

Exhausted

 

After walking up the hill, both Kirra and I need a short breather.

The park is always inviting, it is just where it was situated (up the hill).

Time Out

 

We all need to take time out, from our hectic life.

Otfeb 019 

And my Kirra clearly shows, what better way, than to take in the cool breeze whilst relaxing on the lawn.
