Had a lovely relaxing afternoon with my friend Anne – sat around by the real log fire with her 4 Welsh Springer Spaniels chatting about art, fiber and creativity and putting my feet up.
- Gwen, Lexie, Fin and Jack know when they’ve got it good!
Watching the dogs heap themselves on the rug in front of the fire was very relaxing.But seeing them all lined up in their kitchen baskets ready to snap a treat was just so cute:)!
I will be house-sitting these babies in the New Year! Lucky me:)

You must be joking… An unbelievable house with the cutest 4 I’ve ever seen! 🙂 K.
I know – fab aren’t they!?
They are lovely pets. We got given a whippet X lurcher when we got married (long story!) and that was it! Until then, I’d never have said they were a dog breed I’d want, but when we went to the Blue Cross to get a second dog, they had a lurcher (X Great Dane!!) puppy and said they were hard to rehome. He came home with us and the 2 we have now are the 5th and 6th long dogs we’ve owned!
I would love to see any pics of them Hazel – if you want to send me any I’m at eastwtching@hotmail.com – these dogs are so placid and gentle aren’t they:)
That’s such a beautiful sight! There’s nothing quite so cozy as dogs sleeping by the fire. You’re so lucky to be able to look after them. I would love to have a dog, but unfortunately I don’t have the space.
Your work is always inspiring – thank you!
It is isn’t it!? Makes you just want to laze the day away and drift off – it’s a shame you don’t have space. Maybe one day? Alison
I love your work and I think you are very generous teaching me how to paint a robin.I had a go myself today but I think it is far too fussy.
My pleasure Jenny – I would love to see how you did – my email is eastwitching@hotmail.com if you have a pic I can see:)
That’ll keep you busy!
I love the little one in the blue basket; one of my lurchers puts up a paw if he’s sitting for food- “Look! I’m doing everything you might ask me to already!”
They are fab aren’t they – how big is your lurcher?
I’ve got 2- the Saluki Cross is the size of a small greyhound and he’s the one that will offer to shake paws if he thinks it will help get him the treat. The other doesn’t look very lurcher-like, as she’s mostly Staffie X Lab (probably) but there’s a bit of long dog, maybe whippet, in there and we got her from a lurcher rescue! She just sits as close as possible whilst gazing at you longingly until you give her a biscuit 🙂
Aw bless them – I love lurchers, greyhounds and whippets as they always seem so serene and gentle – long neautiful faces..the most gorgeous one I ever saw was a year ago in Glastonbury – he was called Murdoch and was a huge greyhound – so elegant and could easily have adorned an ancient medieval hunting tapestry – ….
