19th November 2013 – dog walkers

Posted on November 20, 2013 by Liz Terry

Through the chaos of dog excitement they stroll peacefully. Wearing wellies and anoraks of all different styles, they clutch their plastic bags. Decked out for all weathers, they turn their faces to the sky. The sun is shining, today is … Continue reading →

Nose pressed to the ground, tail wagging. Criss-crossing his master’s path, short legs pumping. The lead restricts his movement, but never his enthusiasm.

Posted on November 6, 2013 by Liz Terry

A woman bustles past him in a hurry. His tail wags halfheartedly as she passes, hoping for a friendly pat. He looks crestfallen for a second, then resumes his watch on the shop door.

14th October 2013 – dog

Posted on October 15, 2013 by Liz Terry

A beautiful, honey-brown coat, brushed to perfection. A high forehead, furrowed in a worried frown. He stands erect, paws perfectly spaced, back straight. His wagging tail belies the wrinkles on his brow. An accident of breed, not an indicator of … Continue reading →

25th September 2013 – waiting

Posted on September 26, 2013 by Liz Terry

A small black and white face appears at the back window. Hopeful eyes scan the car park. Seeing only me, the dog slumps visibly, head sinking onto its front paws. Despondent, it must wait again.

29th July 2013 – stand off

The little grey dog stops, tail not moving, ears pricked. Opposite him is a tortoiseshell cat, sideways on, back arched. Neither moves a muscle. A stand off is in progress, but who will win?

24th May 2013 – Goldendoodle

Posted on May 25, 2013 by Liz Terry

He lies in the doorway, a big rug of a dog. Curled, creamy fur and long, fluffy legs. He is oblivious to our clambering, serene in his new domain.

Posted on March 5, 2013 by Liz Terry

A dash of white and brown rushes into the room. He’s here, he’s there, he’s everywhere! Tail a blur of wagging bliss, thrilled beyond excitement. A happy little soul, a bouncing ball of energy.

9th January 2013 – litter

Posted on January 10, 2013 by Liz Terry

A small, peach coloured plastic bag, tied in a rough knot at the top, sits guiltily on the inside edge of the pavement. Left by a lazy dog-walker, it draws my attention to the scurf of litter along the side … Continue reading →
