I've got my eye on you

Yesterday was the Man Of The House's birthday. It was one that ended in a big round number. That's all I've been told to say on the subject.

Anyway, having shared that with you I thought I'd share with you some of the lovely pictures he's been taking on our walks recently. The Lady Of The House bought him a camera for Christmas which means he can take pictures that allow him to zoom in really close.

Here's one of me - well, a bit of me.

Do you want to gaze into my eye a little closer?

The MOTH loves the little bees and bugs he sees (maybe it's because of his name?)

I love this picture of a Poppy's centre.

I know people think Dandelions are weeds - but they are really just plants that grow where some people sometimes don't want them. I think they are beautiful and I love all the smells in the hedgerows where they grow.

I hope you liked the MOTH's pictures.

Now a bit of sad news. Our lovely friend Sonja - who knitted my beautiful patchwork blanket for me - has today said a last goodbye to her beautiful, very regal and graceful cat Chloe (known to all as Dame Chloe) who was close to her 20th birthday.

Dame Chloe had been seriously ill for a while but the vet was keeping an eye on her and said she wasn't suffering and she was eating and enjoying her time with Sonja in her quiet way. But in recent days she took a turn for the worse and Sonja knew regretfully that it was time to take that hardest of all decisions.

We know Sonja's heart is breaking tonight but we know she's done the right thing by Chloe as she always did. We send them both all our love and we know you will too.

Coffee and a great young photographer

The Lady Of The House is a bit 'full of herself' today because she got to have her say on "Coffee With A Canine"

I don't know why they wanted to talk to her and not me!

But it's been a very useful experience - because I think we have found someone in this house who takes far better photos than the LOTH.

Hers are often all blurry and wuzzy fuzzy and she blames her phone camera that she uses. But look what happened when she handed it over to the Boy Of The House to take a picture of me and her?

I think that's very nice. Much better than most of hers.

Anyhow, unfortunately the oxygen of publicity has well and truly gone to the LOTH's head and now she wants to take over MY blog for tomorrow to tell you about the Canine Freestyle event she went to this weekend. Dogs who weren't dancing....competing, whatever... weren't allowed. I stayed home the with MOTH - which was nicer I think.

I SUPPOSE I'll let her - that's if she has time. She's rushing around like a mad thing at the moment. More of that another time too I guess.
