Swizzle has been living with Tom, June and David Lording for some years now. Enjoying the total devotion from her human family and those peaceful walks along the beach on Philip Island.

Every now and then mum and I look after Swizzle when Tom, June and David have a holiday or go away for a week end and it's clear when Swizzle comes over that she has not forgotten me. At the tender young age of 13 and a bit, Swizzle gets so excited when she sees me that her bottom nearly wags off, LOL.

Every now and then I drive over to Tom, June and David's place and visit Swizzle. I did this yesterday. It's a beautiful drive and not too far. Takes about an hour from Cranbourne to Cowes, Philip Island. Thankfully it was not too hot so it made for an even more pleasant drive.

Who greets me at the door?

Swizzle of course, wagging her tail and her bottom and half of her back too.

She looks wonderful for an old girl. The only thing that gives her age away are the age spopts around her eye lids, akin to age spots human get on the back of their hands.

She settled down after that initial excitable greeting in her favourite place, the trampoline bed which really resembles a doggy mattress and base, looking her very regal self with a 7th heaven look on her face now that EVERYONE was in the same room and she could protect us all.

After our coffee and chocolate cake, we all went outside so I could give Swizzle a pedicure and manicure. Despite Swizzle letting me perform this task, she really would prefer I didn't do it. She doesn't really put up much of a resistance but she does pull her feet away occasionally.

That job out of the way, I took heaps of photos of Swizzle and a short movie clip and just as soon as I work out how to get the darn things off of my camera and load it her, I will include them.

You can also see Swizzle on my web site by going to her page.

P.S. Success! I have managed to download images and clips from my camera to my notebook.
