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!)

Timeout from partying - all that carousing was hard work - he needed his rest



















Marauders

(It was their dream job.)


















BigBear Science and BigBear Magic were in disagreement

Way above the everyday world of beardom, the BigBears dwelled on Mount Olympbear. They were so far above the ways of bears that they didn’t give much thought to the effect they had over the world below, but their whims and arguments were what affected everyday life for everybear else. And now, after millennia of relative peace, apart from a few bursts of bad temper resulting in storms and the odd bit of earth shifting and quite a few ruined picnics, they were in turmoil, and suddenly all of beardom on the earth below had become aware once again of the influence of those above. BigBear Science and BigBear Magic were in disagreement.


















She'd washed her hair and now she couldn't do a thing with it

Sam and Rose

Byron, the Black Bear Wizard, took the two other cubs, leaving the one – Princess Serenity – behind, and he wiped the memory of them from bears’ minds. He went straight to a cubless couple who lived in the woods on the edge of the Endless Night Forest and he gave the two royal cubs into their care. His instructions were simple: “You are never to ask who these cubs are. You will regard them as your own, and convince others they are yours. You are to call them Sam and Rose. You are to bring them up so they learn the ways of the earth and all life, all the things that grow and the creatures that breathe. You are to let them absorb knowledge of nature at their own pace and encourage them in every way. You are warned that I will always know how they feel no matter where I may be, and I will come back for them some day. You are to guard them with your lives.” And he left.


















Sharing memories


















They went everywhere together

(This is Dinah. I met her in the Post Office this morning. Her owner said she had taken her into Morrison's (a food supermarket near us) for six months before anyone realised she had a dog in her bag... This dog has been in restaurants, hospitals, the Post Office, beauty salons and the doctor's waiting room with no one being the wiser. She was a fab little dog!)

Romeow and Juliecat - I'm considering whether this pic is completely finished or not...

After a very brief acquaintance with the spade, these Border Collies decided that gardening is fun! (They're quick learners!) and Whippet in hiding

In hiding (What a great idea if you want to just chill out. Or if they're looking for you to do the washing up.)

This Corgi sees herself as just another wild flower; the closest this whippet gets to cooking is her microwave...

I'm just another wild, wild flower


















It was the closest she got to cooking

(she usually ate out or got takeaways)

Butterfly-eating Corgi; romantic, wine-drinking cats...

Drink to me only with thine eyes

















Yep - they 'look' pretty - but they taste AWFUL!!!

(take it from me...)

Overtures - pup to fairy; fairy to pup; Byron the Black Bear Wizard from the Endless Night Forest

Overtures

















Byron - the Black Bear Wizard from the Endless Night Forest(on the night of the cubs' birth)




Unbeknown to everyone - or rather, known to everyone, but wiped from their memories - on the night of the cubs' birth there had indeed been more than one cub born. The teddy bear responsible for the disappearance of the others, and for everyone having their minds wiped of the memory - (except it would seem that of Fairy Bearmother Serendipity) - was none other than the notorious Black Bear Wizard from the vast darkness of the Endless Night Forest. No one quite believed in him because he'd not been seen in many, many years, but tales were told around camp fires about him when older cubs wanted to scare the stuffing out of the younger ones. The Black Bear Wizard's name was Byron.
