Alice is camera shy
This is my friend Alice who doesn’t like having her photo taken. She was under the table trying to hide when mum took this shot.
Alice lives with Jim and Georgina in Balaclava and goes for lots of long walks. She has two dog friends who live next door–Skela (Greek for ‘bitch’) who is also a blue heeler, and Jack, a Maltese-Shitzu cross.
Skela and Jack visit often. The humans broke off one of the fence palings so the dogs could play with each other whenever they want.
Sometimes Alice growls at Skela just to make sure she remembers that she’s not in her own back yard–can’t have other dogs thinking they own the place!
And sometimes Jack tries to steal Alice’s bones, but he’s not too smart at figuring out how to get through the hole in the fence and back into his house with a big bone in his mouth.
Alice has her own chair. She picked the most comfy spot in the living room and one where she can easily see what’s going on in the kitchen (an important activity in the life of most dogs, but because Georgina is such a good cook, this task takes on special importance) and out in the back yard.
Like poor Dexter, Alice lost her pussy cat friend recently. His name was Harry, and he was a shiny black cat. While it’s fair to say that Alice misses Harry, she doesn’t mind all the extra attention she gets.
