A gentle dog ?


Yes, Rosey, I suppose Holly could be called that. She lives a very sheltered life, she seldom leaves the property. DH and I try to have a walk at the beach once a week, and she does enjoy that. Occasionally we get to meet another dog there and that is very exciting !! Our good friend and neighbour, also has a Beagle , she comes for a play day at least once a week. Holly barks when an unknown car arrives here , but is shy when anybody gets out of it ! She is motivated by food and scent . She has a few acres here to run around on. Rabbits and hares visit during the night, so there is a great deal of excitement first thing in the morning. She's not as affectionate as a Labrador (the only other breed we have had ) .. She likes to be petted but it is always on her terms and when it suits her. We wouldn't be without her though, she's a lovely dog and gives us a lot of pleasure. This was her yesterday , keeping me company while I was gardening.

Marion: What a beautiful picture. Is that an arbor, or 2 trees on the sides of the stone patio? YOur view is wonderful.
Some day when I get some outside help (a GF's or her DH) I will learn to post pictures also)
