I got to meet sweet little Nimmy (Nimble🐕) this weekend on the farm. She reminds me so much of her grandma Tess with her vibrant little blue eye.. I can't wait to come back in December for a longer stay, a weekend is definitely not enough! #bordercolliesofinstagram #bordercolliepup #farmhouselife
On the second day of Spring we said goodbye to an old friend. We got Tess as a 6 week old puppy and she was so unusual with her one blue eye, she had lots of energy and we learnt very quickly that she was obsessed with chasing balls. Even as a 17 year old she was still chasing balls, although, a little slower than her 6 week old self. She loved placing her head in your lap for pats and when you stopped she would paw your leg for attention until you started patting again 🐾 She had such kind gentle eyes but was a wolf when it came to protecting her puppies of which she had three litters over her life time. She loved, loved going out on the Ute to round up sheep and I had to be very careful when walking the paddock that she didn’t run off and start rounding up all the sheep 🐑 Her son, Bob, would always walk by my side though. So loyal compared to his mum, destined to chase all things. She hated the summer heat and I have many fond memories of her coming into the house to be on the cool lino in front of the air con. Tina of course was the Queen of the house so she had to give Tess a warning snarl not to come into any of the other rooms or else. But you were such great friends and grew up together, like two sisters hating each other one day and loving each other the next. And how strange it is that you’re gone a year and 2 days after her. Like you were both destined to go at 17 within a few days of each other. I hope that Tina lets you into the house so you can lay on the cool lino and enjoy some gentle pats while you doze off and close your brown and blue eyes 💙 RIP Tessa girl, I wish I could have said goodbye. #goodbyeoldfriend #goodbyetomydog #dogsofinstagram #bordercolliesofinstagram
"We must appreciate winter for we create our own warmth and comfort in these colder months." 🍂 It's now the first day of Spring in 2019! 🌸 I'm 29 in October, god time just moves so wickedly fast. Lets all remember to stop and smell the blooming flowers this Spring and enjoy the baby animals 🐣 #firstdayofspring #septemberspring #poetsofig #writersofig
Monday was #internationaldogday and I forgot to pay respects to all the beautiful doggos out there. Especially my sweet little Tina who is running around in heaven now 🐶 Here I am with Hachikō at Shibuya Station in Tokyo who was a Japanese Akita dog remembered for his remarkable loyalty to his owner, Hidesaburō Ueno. Hachikō would meet Ueno at Shibuya Station every day after his commute home. This continued until Ueno died while at work and never came back. From then until his death, Hachikō would return to Shibuya Station every day for over nine years following Ueno’s death to await his return. But he never returned 😔 We don’t deserve dogs 🐕 #hachiko #shibuyacrossing #internationaldogday #loyaldog #travelblog #japanwriting #japanculture
