Hollie


Hollie, a Border Terrorist, is one of life's little pleasures and she brings other pleasures with her. She's a bit sad at the moment as Hiccup, her older sister, died just before Christmas

Hollie invites me into her home when her regular staff goes away and she finds herself at a loose end.  That happened last week so I went for a couple of nights.  As you see, Hollie likes to get up close and personal.

She's very fond of my heated throw and she snuggles up very close when I'm using it on the sofa.  She's used to sleeping on her usual staff's bed so, unless I want a very disturbed night, she sleeps on mine too.  It's a king size bed and she generously allows me the outer six inches on each side while she luxuriates in the middle.  (I'm under the duvet, she's on top of it.)  I have no idea how she manages to control so much bed-space!

It's no longer practical for me to have my own dog and these little dog sitting breaks are definitely one of life's little pleasures.

  1. Well hello Hollie, good to see you’re strictly upholding BT bedtime protocol! I like to keep my human resigned to the outer edges also. Keep up the good works, sharing is caring and personal space does not exist. A kindred canine Ditsi Ditto 🐶

  2. What a cute dog. Enjoy her. I have another blogging, facebook, forum buddy that just loves to dog sit as well.

    God bless.

    1. It's great. I feel very lucky. I can't walk Hollie but she has a huge garden to run in.

  3. How fun you have your dog bonding times with Hollie. She is so kind to allow you six inches of the bed while she sleeps in the center.

    1. She would agree that six inches is more than generous.
