I have come to the conclusion that he is a clumsy dog. He bumps into things, whether walking forward or backwards (he does that a lot) and when he has a good shake his legs go in all directions and he can thump anything in range. I had to come downstairs just after 2.30 am when I heard a great crash, and found that he had dragged a number of electronic devices off a shelf, getting tangled up with the cables and presumably by shaking, and the crash was very noisy. No damage done, and all sorted out in a minute. But whereas my dog Storm lived with those cables for years without pulling on them Prince caused chaos in a couple of days.
He enjoyed the end of my 10.30 Mass this morning. He found his way into church when some youngsters opened the inter-connecting house door to deliver the collections into the house, and once into the church he approached everybody still there after Mass and received plenty of cuddles and kind words; he was very popular and he knew it and loved it!
I knew he was R.C. Father, coming from the Emerald Isle could he be anything else?
ReplyDeleteHi Fr
ReplyDeleteI had 2 dogs;a cairn terrier (Raffles) & a Jack Russell (Domino). Raffles was brilliant even after he went completely blind - he taught Domino to cope with stairs - while Domino was uncoordinated. We found out after she died that she had had a brain tumour probably from birth. She would run at the door - and miss - jump over a kerb - & catch the edge, but she was very loving. We hope you enjoy Prince (& he you) for many years. God Bless & remember us in your prayers
