  • Mollie: Loss and Memory

    in ,

    I took a long time to write this post. I couldn’t get the tone right, and I’m still not sure if I have. The usual expression when we lose a pet is to make some vague allusion to the Rainbow Bridge. This makes me uncomfortable, just as it does when people mention God in relation…

    2013 was a year of Change. Some changes were embraced, some changes were not, some changes I still struggle with. Some I love and some I am frustrated with, often within the space of 5mins (I’m talking about you, Daisy Jones).2014 already promises lots of change; Dylan retiring from agility, Rio starting to compete in…

    I don’t post very often about me; my blog is about the dogs, and I try to keep the non-dog stuff away. However, sometimes it falls together. Last week was very tough for me. Lots of things have been piling up for a while, but I ended up in a depression kicked off by Daisy…

    I’ve had this post on my “things to post about” list for a week or so, but I didn’t want it to get lost amongst all the flyballing excitement. I’m still not really sure how to post about it; it’s not a dog thing, it’s not a dog charity, charity isn’t something I want to…

    The dogs aren’t overly impressed with the whole Christmas thing at the moment, but we’re getting there! Dylan does have a bit of a fetish for oven mitts though, and the new “festive” pair we bought yesterday are already looking a bit worse for wear. All my shopping is done, apart from a few last…
