  10. Many congratulations John Gray and Prof, if, by any chance Mary needs a middle name you may use mine, Mary Norma it has a ring to it. (God knows what my mother was thinking when she called me Norma, had I been a bot she was going to call me Sonny), she is truly beautiful xx

    1. Hi Norma Jean, well I came off worse Norma Frances !! However having 2 Norma commenting on John Gray's blog, put forward an even stronger argument for Mary to have our name as her middle one. I crochet I could supply fanny flannels in various colours, I have not even mention God Mother duties, but, would that mean I would be landed with the vets bill. Nice to make your acquaintance NJ, best wishes NF xx

  32. She's gorgeous John !
    She looks as though she's weighing you up and working out exactly how to wind you round her little paw......and you are telling her what a pushover you are !
    Poor Winnie - give her an extra cuddle tonight - she'll be feeling left out. Big hugs all round.
    The company we get our dog food from sells nappies for pups and incontinent oldies - whatever next?

  51. Congrats! Glad the other Terriers have welcomed her. I see Welshies still rule at your home. I do seem to remember that you were thinking about an Airedale Terrier a few years ago.
