Skye Blue

We can learn so much from our kindred spirits, the ones that choose us, the ones that just appear in our lives and end up being indispensable, a life unknown before we met them.

Our time indoors has intensified with our relationships, in so many ways, but with our animals, it has been a blessing to have such unconditional love and companionship.

I love the photographs taken by my friend Eve, of animals that gravitate towards her. She collects characters because they can feel her spirit, she isn’t showing fear, but approaches them as them. And to gain an animals love , they mostly just need respect. And she takes a cracking photo.

Our world at Skye Blue House has been made so much fuller and richer through our animal friends. Cats, dogs, guinea pigs, fish, chickens… When a small paw holds yours at the end of a long day, things don’t seem so bad.

So here is a little bit of dogs wisdom on the game of life.

1 Treat everyone as a potential friend

But use your instincts when someone makes your fur stand on end..

2 Eat at regular times

Even though there is delicious temptation everywhere

3 Take plenty of naps

No matter where you are

4 Be free to run up mountains

Even if it is only in your sleep

5 Be photo ready

At all times !!

6 Stay loyal

To the tribe you found. They are your family.

7. Keep your fur neat

Or you might miss a pat

8. Know your humans

Soon they will understand your psychic ability

9. Avoid jealousy

1. 
   

And you’ll make best friends

10. Bathe occasionally

Humans seem to appreciate that

11 .Love with abandon

1. 
   

1. 
   

No matter the time you’ve got

12. Be you

That’s why you’re here xx

After our lockdown experience, 14 years of special times together and a final adventure; it is heart breaking to tell you our news. Due to cancer, Skye deteriorated swiftly and passed away last week peacefully. She had the best of lives and everyone loved her, even complete strangers. We were blessed to have her with us for every single day of Leah’s life. Thankyou Skye, the gentlest, kindest, most loyal spirit. Run free on the beach chasing shadows.

All our love Liz and Leah and Skye’s animal friends X
