Ceilidh (Kaylee) is Gaelic for Party or Celebration or sometimes gathering for entertainment. Ceilidh was an Irish Wolfhound who enhanced my life from 15 December, 1996 until 26 December 2006. We had 10 great years together, Ceilidh was slightly neurotic (Pisces Moon) and very demanding so she kept me on my toes. A Libran, she loved fine food and got quite indignant if anyone tried to feed her pet food. The one exception to this was McCavity's cat biscuits, when we visited her in Brisbane, Ceilidh would wander up the hall, tail swinging, smile on her face and head straight for the bowl she knew would always be filled. Ceilidh also liked her comforts, an indoor furperson who did not understand that she was not allowed to go everywhere and that sometimes she had to sleep outside when we were travelling and visiting. She was lots of fun to be with and I miss her so much.

 

Puffington Prudence.
Old English Sheepdog

Prudence was the daughter of Pandora and bred by me. Before 1989 Prudence lived with her Mother Pandora, her uncle, Mr Peabody and I in Windsor NSW but when their times came to go to doggy heaven Prudy moved with me to Cairns. A very cute furperson, also very demanding at times, Prudy was part of my life from August 1983 to December 1996.

Mr Peabody is the litter brother of Pandora, He gained his Australian Championship title and had some In Group wins but his show career was not as good as Pandora's. He was a delightful dog and adored me even when I didnt deserve his adoration. Mister Peabody was also with me from 1975 to 1988

 

 

Lady Jane

For my fourteenh birthday my parents bought me a horse from Parramatta Horse Sales. I had no saddle or bridle but they came later. I guess that means she and I were together in 1966 and we did lots of things together including pony club and horse shows and then later we attended lots of sporting events as she rather liked excitement. She was a very good competitor and won many events and lots of prize money in her time. She had two foals in her life and eventually retired to the country (Walcha) in the 1980's. She died about 1992 aged 26.
