Hello Gracie

Our granddaughter Megan and her boyfriend Michael have recently purchased their first home.  Not only that, they also now have a new corgi puppy, Gracie.  So today we got to see the new house and the new arrival.  I had been busy making a couple of gifts to welcome Gracie into the family.  So what did I make?  A fleece blanket with her name on, and an embroidered pet bag to keep her brush or maybe her toys in.  Plus two plaited pull ropes and some tennis balls, or should that be dog balls, perhaps?  Megan wasn't sure if Gracie likes balls, so we will have to see how that goes.  Seems she is rather fond of squeaky toys instead.

Pressies for Gracie

We were invited around for lunch, yummy home made chicken soup, so tasty.  Gracie wasn't too sure what to make of the visitors in the house,  so she was having time out in the bedroom, minding her own business.  Such a pretty young dog, although not too sure yet of the grand parents.

Gracie and Megan

There was a working bee going on outside, all for Gracie’s benefit.  The existing fence was being raised, and gates added, all to keep Gracie safely contained in the yard.  I’m sure this young dog will bring much joy to Megan and Michael’s lives.

sometimes tall fences are surely needed - our daughter found that out when they bought the house they live in - I think the dogs jumped the fence the first week and have not stayed it in one day since - luckily they do not leave the yard but I would worry of them getting lost and not coming home.
