The last day of 2015

We headed off to Burton Bradstock as the sun came out this morning on the last day of the year. The tide was high and the waves were strong. Think Mummy was a little nervous to let me off and she kept George on the lead. You never know with that little dinky George what he might do – though he’s not into water. But just in case a wave caught him – that is just Mummy’s imagination.But look at those waves!!! It’s serious!

She did let me off and I ran – And ranThere were lots of other dogs to run with even though Georgie couldn’tAnd I found a boy with a ball and thought it was time for some ball chasing! But alas it was not for me.After we were well blown, we took shelter at the “extremely dog friendly” Hive Beach Cafe And look – they have a pudding named after George!!!After the beach run, we went back to our hotel to wash the sea salt off ourselves before going to the Summer Lodge for a very civilised lunch. The Summer Lodge is across the street from the Acorn Inn and also dog-friendly – obviouslyWe were sat in the dog-friendly room – which is covered with dog portraits and dog paintings.I have of late learnt to sit on the banquette, whenever there is one. I sit very STILL and would wait patiently till Mummy gives me something – after she’s done.

But I do get very curious when they serve the food – just curious as to what might come my way.Soup? No hand me downs there.

Coq du vin – there’s potential!We stayed there for a long while to take in the ambiance And spending time togetherReally – to wait for the rain to stop.

While we were there, we met some Londoners who spends time in Dorset and realise they live close to us in Chelsea. They have dogs too and have shared with us two new places to go to in the neighbourhood! Thank you Valentine and Egg! (Is that really your name?)

May’s comment: Feeling blessed as we looked back on the year that was.

For one, we have seen George grown not just physically but also how he has integrated into our lives. He brings much joy to all he meets. And he taught me how I am capable of loving more than I ever imagined I could.And despite some unexpected surprises, I was in the end better off for it. Shedding the pounds I never could have done on my own for one! 🙂 But also through the tribulations, I realised how blessed I am – with friends, neighbours and acquaintances that came to my help when I was down and out. Importantly, I am healthy – except for a bloody cold that erupted last night!

But as we turn the calendar, a friend shared this with me:
