Milly

Its been three years since we collected Milly from the rescue centre.  We had been looking for sometime.  She was not at all what we were looking for.  We all had in mind a little lap dog for our small cottage.  But most of the dogs we looked at were large.  But then I spotted Milly, she was just stood there, very quiet looking so sad and very thin,  I knew if we were to take a dog home that day it was her.














She is a lurcher we think a cross between a Whippet and Bedlington terrior.  We think that she was a working dog, and also because of her mannorisms, that she may have been mistreated.

She would never look at you in the early days

 












She doesn't seems to have that problem now


She is a small dog with a big personality, a hoarder and a bit of a magpie.  Hubby lost his keys the other day (guess who had them in her basket) 

She is also fond of purses and handbags  Matching of course.

She love the snow but hates the rain
But best of all she just loves to sleep


Especially with big Ted

A Birthday Gift

My son's partner wanted to me to make her a bear, well a rabbit actually.  She wanted a white rabbit with big ears, a waistcoat and a carrot.

As it was her birthday, I decided to make her one as a surprise. So here he is.   He turned out to be quite a stocky little fella.  She was frilled to bits and thinks that she will name him Billy after the rabbit below.



Billy was a sweet tiny rabbit, when we bought him from the pet shop some years ago. He turned out to be quite a large rabbit,  we had never had a rabbit before and he became abit too big for our young  daughter to handle.  Someone we know works at Cruckley Animal Farm (a very popular hands-on working farm) and he went to live a happy life there. 

Apparantly he got so big he used to have trouble getting down the burrows.
