Dog dreams

Like all dogs, Wally twitches and ‘chases rabbits’ when he’s dreaming. There’s the usual almost running legs, and the occasional muffled bark or growl. 

I love it most when he’s having happy dreams, his tail will start to wag and there’s the sound of a contented pup, ‘thud, thud, thud’ on the carpet.

A unique and beautiful bunch

I went back to work today (hmph) - wedding, honeymoon, and all that goes with it is over. A few work colleagues commented on how large my wedding bouquet was. There’s a story behind that. 

I came across an idea that I couldn’t let alone - a community bouquet, where the guests contributed to the bride’s bouquet. But with 60+ guests, that’s WAY too many flowers. Eventually, we asked on the invite for each household to contribute a flower. It saved me from making decisions about flowers, and saved on paying a florist (bridesmaids had paper-pin wheel bouquets that I made, and the boutonnières were peacock feathers). It also got everyone involved. 

So my Mum, and my now mother-in-law, kitted out with a tub of silver tape, ribbon, scissors, and pearl-headed pins, constructed my bouquet as each guest arrived. By the time I arrived, I had an amazing, unique bouquet full of love. (And it weighed a ton!).

Two dog house

We’re dog sitting this week, so in addition to our big boofer-woofer, we’ve got a lovely little lady border collie. So we have two black and white dogs seeking our attentions, wanting to play (by running laps of the lounge room), and squabbling over each others’ mats. 

It’s actually quite lovely, in a busy kind of way.

They’re quiet now, curled up and sleeping on their respective mats at opposite ends of the room.
