Non-smoking Border Collie takes to the keyboard... (We try to please)

As per Lesley Cookman's (cosy crime writer extraordinaire) request - It's a Writer's Life

Some dogs are very, very serious about their head gear...

Her best fascinator






















Her best crocheted bonnet






















Her best baker boy hat

This greyhound dog firmly believed there was a trilby for everyone

So don't despair - somewhere in the world your trilby will be waiting for you...

It's a mystery...

Border Collies takes family for a row (not the argument kind)

Family outing

(He was hoping the sea air would tire them out.) (Fat chance!)

Whippet gives fans chance to buy her everything she wants ; teddy bears respect for nature ; cats starting a journal

She liked to start her Christmas list early

(and give people enough of a chance to get everything on it)



















A respect for nature

The couple who had charge of Sam and Rose carried out the Black Bear Wizard’s instructions to the letter, and the two royal cubs learnt the ways of the earth and all life, all the things that grew and the creatures that breathed. That is, they grew up with a natural respect for the world they lived in, and they learnt from it and it shaped them.


















They were starting a journal

Corgi's indoor swimming pool, greyhound jam nicker, corgi basketball

It was their very own indoor swimming pool

(They were the envy of the neighbourhood. All they needed now was a whippy icecream machine.)



















SOMEONE had nicked the jam...


















Corgi basketball never really caught on...

This Springer spaniel couldn't understand why his owner didn't want a walk - after all, it was five in the morning already!

Spreading the catnip joy - window shopping cat; and window shopping Border Collies

Window shopping for Border Collies

(Most Border Collies were window shopping at the throwing-things shop, but some were round the corner staring into the flock-of-sheep shop.)

















Window shopping for cats - or cats window shopping - there's nothing quite like spreading a bit of catnip joy

Window shopping whippets, greyhounds and teddy bears - and corgis...

Window shopping for whippets and greyhounds

(well - if you've got a lovely long, slim neck - might as well show it off)

















Window shopping for teddy bears

(Because teddy bears need teddy bears, too.)

(Although some teddy bears were round the corner staring into the picnic hamper shop window instead - they probably already had their own teddy bears.)

Welsh Corgi dogs woof and howl about inappropriate use of apostrophe in sausage shop

Corgis window shopping - you might think these corgi dogs are drooling over the sausages, but actually, I have inside information that says they're there howling and woofing about the inappropriate use of the apostrophe. (Honest!)
