that light again ?

Posted on January 21, 2015 by patinkingsheath

  Wednesday               A strange day in the park. The sun is not out so there are no shadows. Ideal for Isis one would think. But not so. She is very jumpy, looking upwards … Continue reading →

Posted on January 19, 2015 by patinkingsheath

not a good day

Posted on January 18, 2015 by patinkingsheath

  Sunday   The day begins well. Isis wakes up at 08.00. After she’s been outside I make coffee and return to bed for a Sunday lie-in. Since I forget to put the stair gate in place she follows me. … Continue reading →

the scents, the scents!

Posted on January 11, 2015 by patinkingsheath

    Sunday The best ever walk in Highbury Park with Hairy One. Hard to believe that only a couple of months ago she did not even want to leave the car, let alone walk in the park. We haven’t … Continue reading →

Posted on January 7, 2015 by patinkingsheath

  Tuesday January 6th   Turn away from this page all those at Aeza Rescue. I don’t want Isis to be recalled. I always wear a special elastic belt – the sort used for canicross (running with dogs) – when … Continue reading →

Isis comes down

Posted on January 5, 2015 by patinkingsheath

  Holiday journal Tuesday December 30th   Isis, unsurprisingly, is very tired and sleeps until I get up at 8.30. Great! She has a good run along the edge of the sea. I introduce her to sea foam and she … Continue reading →

Posted on December 21, 2014 by patinkingsheath

  Sunday My Sunday lie-in is rudely interrupted by four short, meaningful barks from the foot of the stairs. I scramble out of bed in a less than dignified fashion and take Isis into the garden in my dressing gown. … Continue reading →
