The Whistling Balls
Katy’s favourite balls, wonderfully coloured and they whistle as they fly through the air.
…and a bit of sanity returns to this blog (for the moment at least)

The Guilty Dog (previous post)
Here’s the little scoundrel, as ever, looking pleased with herself. No shame!

The dog in shot…
It was going to be a photograph of some interesting shells that were stuck to the rocks on the beach. Then Katy, our dog, stepped into shot. She is no appreciator of my artistic endeavours!

The Stick Wrangler
Katy wrangles a stick in a loch in the Scottish Highlands.

The Dog and the Rabbit Hole
PS: Our dog has never caught a rabbit (and so she ain’t no friend of mine – ha ha ha!)

My pal now…
Katy, now aged four years…

My pal then….
Katy when she was just a few weeks old…

My pal Katy waiting for me to throw the ball…

The Quiet Blog Day…
After a few days of intensive blogging, me and the dog (the dog and I?) have decided to take it easy today….ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

The Tuesday Dog
This is Bor, who belongs to our very good and highly attractive friend Marloes (sorry, no image of Marloes (yet)). Bor comes to stay with us on the boat on Tuesdays. Bor is an ageing gentleman with creaky bones but he has a fine spirit and a look of constant bemusement on his face.

The Pooch
Our dog, Katy, who just loves sniffing around in the grass. Katy is a Dutch breed of dog known as Fryske Stabij or Stabyhoun. Dog’s like Katy are meant to be excellent at catching moles and rats. It is fair to say that Katy has never caught anything in her life! It has been said that a Stabyhoun is “not an expert at any particular skill.” That about sums it up and we have a dog with no skills whatsoever unless you consider finding and ripping tissue (especially kitchen paper towels) into a million pieces for no apparent reason to be a skill.

The Smiling Dog
This is our dog Katy. Â I’m sure she’s almost smiling – and no Photoshop skullduggery, I promise!

The Girl In My Life
A dog who is never happier than when she is digging in the sand…

The Sniffer Dog Discovers Snow
Our sniffer dog, Katy, discovers snow and can’t understand why snowballs fall apart when bitten.

The Stick
Happiness is stick shaped…

The Walk Ready Dog
Katy clearly trying to tell us she is ready to go for a walk. Â If only dogs could talk. Â Woof!

The Walk Ready Dog
The Duck Patrol
Katy, our dog, on the lookout for ducks. Â She will chase any duck she sees but never ever catches one. Â Ducks, quite clearly, are smarter than dogs!
