Happy 10th birthday to dear Mistress Diva, what a milestone! Love the Paris is pink picture it sent a big smile to my face! Do I spy your book bingo beloved classic choice with Little Women?

It’s a milestone for this breed, they tend to only have an expected life span of 8 to 12 years. 😔 I’m hoping she’ll break the average!!
I thought of you when I included the Paris in pink pic. 😉
Good spotting! But no. This is for my book club, the local one here. I have already read and scheduled my beloved classic using The Scarlet Letter.

Enjoy your book club read! I forgot you already covered that category!

Happy birthday to Mistress Diva! I suspect that there is a story behind that name…
(When she’s being hoity-toity we say that ours was Marie Antionette in a past life).

Her name suits her perfectly, she certainly seems to consider herself above normal dog behaviour. 😁
The breeder named her litter after racehorses, so on her papers she is Makybe Diva. We adopted her when she was 18 months as she had been sold as a puppy but then returned because she was ‘too big’. 🙄 Funny that, a German Shepherd growing large! So she had been called Diva by the breeder for almost a year by the time we got her. But really, never was a dog more suited to her name. Mistress is my special name for her, because she really is the Mistress of her domain, bossing our husky around at whim.

That’s a lovely story:)
We’ve had three Australian Silky Terriers: the first one was called Topaze (because that’s the colour of the fur on their paws), the second was called Sapphire because the council registration papers describe the breed as ‘blue, black and tan’ and the one we have now is called Amber because the fur on her head is the colour of amber. And all of them have been our little treasures, absolute gems…

Her final exams already?! Best of luck to her! My daughter has only six weeks left after these holidays and then she’s finished school and *supposedly* ready for adulthood.

Hahaha, had to laugh at the joke of the week. I’ve just started watching Northern Rescue, so good, hope they don’t can it like they usually do when something is terrific.
Happy Birthday to Mistress Diva! Big dogs scare me, they have bigger mouths to eat you with lol, although our dog was little she could still chomp a big chunk out of you, hubby and I are lucky we still have our fingers but she did bite a chunk out of the top of his hand.

That’s funny. I’ve always been more comfortable around big dogs. The little dogs I’ve encountered have always been so cranky and skittish. Your poor husband! That would have rattled me!!
