Hot Doggin

Grimshaw's is on the world stage.  We have had an EOI from Utah:

Grimshaw
I am a young McLennan dog from Ogden, Utah. I recommend this location as suitable for young dogs  of high ambition.
Student exchanges considered. Further details available on request.
Woof, woof, etc.
Of course, the young pup needs some manners - Miss Grimshaw - puhleeeese.  Only I am allowed to call her  Grimshaw, and then only when she can't hear me.

She's over it

 Sis has stopped her sibilant sulking.  I am exultant.  Grimshaw has returned from the library with the book of my dreams.
Grimshaw was going to get me a pig to help out at the Orange Grove many years ago.  Then Grimshaw's Academy went all urban and I got Siss instead.  This was a blow cos pigs are intelligent
and smart.
Well, most of them.

Siss's in a sulk

Sis has been sulking ever since Grimshaw reported that Southern Belle at Portland has a black alpaca.  This has long been Siss's dream.  I don't see why she doesn't want a pig, like ordinary dogs.

Other duties as directed

Yesterday the rain came unexpectedly.
Not good for business or after-gallery walks.
I settled down to keeping a beady eye on the works.
Sis however...

Art takes it out of ya

Last night Steve, our Artist in Residence at Grimshaws, had an exhibition opening.  It was very exciting because many of the works included me and Sis with captions of our amazing wit.  But I'll tell ya, we're paying for it today.

Barney at Bunnings - more unsettling news?

I'm not easily spooked but I nearly fell off the tray of the ute when I saw this chap at Bunnings the other day.  Is it the mysterious Barney who sent me a rather self-satisfied blog postcard from St Davids back in June last year? The chap gets around.

Unsettling news

Word has it that some cats in Wales have their own blog.  How ridiculous.  As if.  On a totally different matter, Grimshaw's has received more stock for the library but I haven't had time to accession it yet.  Sam the Useful and Steve the Artist in Residence are away at present so we've had to do History with Grims.  Here we are with some chap called Egge who has nothing better to do than sit on the wharf all day.
No wonder he's history.
