Well, we're all settled in and ready for Christmas day here. The dogs are looking forward to a nice long walk in the morning and then I think it will mostly be treats and snoozing in the warm :-)
I don't really do Christmas for various reasons I won't bore you with, but I must admit getting a bit emotional when I opened the post this afternoon and found a card from Gracie :-) Thank you! xxx
Happy Christmas everyone!! :-)

She's such a lovely girl, so special, I don't understand either. I liked her when she came in originally, and I like her still. Anyone want to take a practical/sensible husband who 'only' wants two dogs so that I can have her?

Sorry I haven't posted any updates for a while - time just seems to disappear! Grace turns out to be a bit camera shy, and then there are always the times when you need a camera and just can't get it out of your pocket! These was taken at Wolferton last weekend when it was icy cold. The reserve always seems to be a sun trap :-) A little grin for the camera... She has such an expressive face, it's often quite clear what she thinks of what you're asking her to do!

It's been funny watching her work out little tricks for getting what she wants:
There are 2 dog beds in my bedroom, but both dogs have decided that one of them is their favourite. There's usually a race to occupy it after bedtime wee-wees that Jasper usually wins, so Grace slinks off to sleep on a sofa. But usually about 10 minutes before my alarm goes off, Grace appears and acts all excited! She's worked out that Jasper will get up to see what's going on - he just can't resist - and as he gets out, she quickly takes his place in the favourite bed! She will then resolutely refuse to budge until her breakfast is served!

A friend of mine comes in to sit with them sometimes when I'm out and give them a comfort break. She once offered Gracie cheese as an inducement to get off my bed and take a trip around the garden... which worked, but now Grace will refuse to move for anything else! Last week, she was following the cheese but managed to pinch it before getting into the garden, then turned tail and ran back to bed!

We're off to stay with friends again next week, and I'm hoping that the place and people being slightly more familiar will mean it doesn't unsettle her as much as it did last time. She does so love a regular routine.

Lovely photos and very helpful update. She's such a pretty girl and bonds really well with her human and doggie family

She does so love a regular routine. I just love this picture of Grace, she is beautiful! We have some friends who are looking for an 'older, greyhound-type' girlie as a sister for their first dog Hissie. Sadly, they lost their greyhound girlie not so long ago and I know they are looking again. Would you mind if I print this photo to show them Grace, please?
