Wordless Wednesday #182: Crystal on the Lane

Wordless Wednesday #181: Ida and Crystal on the Run

Upstairs Downstairs

Another evening, another visit to the pets' field. This time, everyone was divided into two groups - the ewes and their lambs at the very top of the hill, the pet lambs at the gate. Iris was highest of all, standing up on the wall.

Ivy.

Imelda eventually joined Iris on the wall.

Tess.

Billy.

Imelda got a bit bored on the wall.

Ida wasn't interested in the wall at all.

Ivy.

Rosie.

Irving.

Not my best photo - Wee Matt probably bumped the camera as he often stands in my way - but it shows just how soft Billy's nose is.

The last photo I took of Esther. I'm glad it was a funny one.

Down at the gate, Prue was hungry.

The little lambs were chilling.

Itchy Prue.

Crystal.

Oonagh.

Ilsa.

Ilsa and a blurry Ingrid.

Annie.

One more Crystal for luck.

Belfast Championship Dog Show 2026

As has now become a very welcome tradition, I spent a ladies day at the dog show on Saturday. I went around with my camera, trying to capture some candid canines and stroking as many puppies as I could.

 
 

We went outside to catch some agility which is always enjoyable to watch.

 

Heading back inside, we came across the parking area for Irish Wolfhounds.

 

We caught some Afghan Hound classes.

 

Swapping buildings again, there were more Irish Wolfhounds parked outside.

We saw some group judging. First was the terriers.

The group winner.

Then it was the turn of the hounds.

After that excitement, the day was topped off with some time with Cousin Holly.
