Friday

Alison, Team Manager at Kings Heath Park and her colleague Dave have arranged two photoshoots for ‘their’ dogs. The first is at 8.30 a.m. today.

Unfortunately, as I wander off for a shower I believe that the time is approaching 7.00.  Mistake. It is, in fact, approaching 8.00.

Isis and I are late. The shoot has finished.

Most of our morning friends are there.

There’s George

and Jasper                   Conchobhar, Keiko

and even Millie all dressed up in her Christmas hat.

Cookie and Nancy have very poor short-term memories. Alison has to remind them that they have already had their presents. George is not convinced. There must be another one for him. He can smell it. It’s in that very special truck.

Even though she’s late, Isis still gets her card and present. It’s her first: she’s the new dog.

We hope to make the afternoon shoot on Monday.

Isis came from the Aeza cat and dog rescue and adoption centre in Aljezur, Portugal. For information about adopting an animal from the centre, contact kerry@aeza.org or  www.dogwatchuk.com
