Good day to you all Dear Readers.
This is a short post, it comes to you because we have received more than a few emails asking us the following question.
"What breed of dog was Honey?"
She was a Belgian Shepherd.. there are four varities of this breed. She was a Malenois.
She was all shades of tawny gold, with black tips to her - very pointed - ears , LOTS and lots of black eye make-up and her black lipstick was always immaculate.
As, too, were the black tips of the guard hairs on her ruff and tail and she wore pale cream fluffy drawers on top of her very fine and elegant golden hind leg stockings
An outstanding example of her breed, she was a truly beautiful dog with a heart the size of a Lion, whose colouring she matched exactly.
Standing about 25 inches at her shoulders she was not a dog to mess with, with a very big bark and a very scary growl, woe betide anyone to tried to be 'silly' towards 'her' family or house.
The remarkable thing was that this dog 'spoke' four languages. Spanish which she learnt from Tomaso, Swedish from the family, English and, of course, dog.
They never found out who taught her English but she showed that she knew what the word 'supper' signified the very first night, she was sitting in the kitchen in a flash, wagging her tail and grinning like a fool before Hugo had got out of his chair!
And from the moment that my mum released her from the fence, she became HER dog and a fully paid-up member of the family. She never pined or fretted for the other family, it was quite bizarre.
Constance learnt, through her one of her horse contacts who lived near Ronda, that indeed the Swedish family had gone back to Sweden.
But Honey, who was a bright as three buttons, decided that she, Constance, Hugo and her new dog brothers were the people that she had to guard and love for the rest of her life.
Ah.. Vayo con Dios HoneyBunch..
