A New Friend

Evita in her Posh Collar

The Ridley gang have a new friend!

This is Evita (Rossau Voodoo Doll) who now lives with my friend Helen and the Pugs. Isn’t she a cutie? She is Miss Personality Plus, and I hope to be showing her next year, along with the gang. We could have some fun with this lively little girl.

So far she has met several Cavaliers, Sirius Pug, Miki the Japanese Chin, and a gorgeous Maltese girl called Pippa – as well as Francoise the PBGV, and is already used to Basil, Milo and Duchess, the Mastiffs. She’s also played with a litter of Burmese kittens. Honours are pretty even there. The first time, they spat at her; next day she jumped on top of them.

In addition she’s won the hearts of lots of different people who have all given her cuddles. In return she wags her tail so hard that her whole body wiggles!

The Pugs have their blingy collars, for posh outings. Evita can’t be left out! She has a pink collar, with daisies on it – is this really a tough little terrier?

Visiting friends

Can I play with your toys?

Today Luther went on his first proper day out. He’s quite used to the car, what with all his visits to the vets, but because we have delayed his vaccinations, he hasn’t been out into the wide, wide world very much.

We went over to see Jean and inspect the field that will be used for the Glen of Imaal Fundraising Day in July. It’s certainly looking good – although the wind and the rain meant a brisk walk around the perimeter, rather than the lovely pictures of Luther frolicking on the grass!

Is this really May? After getting nicely damp we went inside to the joy of a real fire, and Luther made himself totally at home, pinching all the Glens toys! He’s a very sociable, outgoing puppy – and we’ve had no health scares for a fortnight, so fingers crossed for the future!
