JoJo successfully completed ‘The Ascent of Hope’ with Elliott with Lisa and Richard as Sherpas!

The total raised from the event for Myeloma currently stands at nearly £3500, an outstanding amount when we originally aimed at £1000.

Portrait of Zorba by his ‘mum’ the leading portrait painter and war artist’ Arabella Dorman. A beautiful painting which perfectly captures the ‘soul of the Micks’.

Arabella says “He’s just my boy, and does everything with me. We all absolutely adore him.” Calendar compiled by Lucy Jackson 2014

Amber the ‘Flying Dog’ displaying the extraordinary athleticism of the Irish Terrier. She is an adored

pet, but also doing well in the Show ring. They live in Jersey and Agata says “We’re all in love with Amber, she’s our beautiful girl full of energy and fun and makes us laugh every day.”

Winnie and Henry doing the what comes naturally. Any season, any day we all love to hunt or

‘pretend’ to hunt for rabbits. They live in Macclesfield and this is the forest, a wonderful place for dogs. Roger says “I’ve never walked them without somebody stopping to say what a lovely pair they are!”

Oscar plane spotting in the garden (he lives under the flight path to Edinburgh Airport.) He’s a great

family pet and adored by his human siblings. He’s an excellent footballer, (see back cover) frisbee catcher, and very good at ‘Spring Lamb Leaps’ undoubtedly coached by his friends in the picture. He’s very sociable and shares play dates with two Irish Terrier ‘girls’ Molly and Erin. Katherine says

“People stop their cars to tell us how beautiful he is!”

Figures in a landscape. Cuilin, Caorunn and Cuibha on the beach in front of Bamburgh Castle. 3 marvellous dogs who are all experts in Obedience, Agility and Flyball. Dearly loved by Joy, they seem to fill every part of her life. They’re as bright as buttons and take part in everthing, not least

their character parts in the fancy dress parade at the Fun Day.

Nonny and Alexander in their

garden which is surrounded by fields and woods and the New Forest . . . plenty of space for adventures.

Nonny has 4 children in the family to consider, 2 in their 20s and 2 little ones but she undoubtedly rules the roost. The suspision is that she is most fond of her Pa.

She follows the shooting but we don’t enquire as to her level of obedience or expertise except in the matter of poaching other dogs’ birds.

She’s now 11 and her natural charm has increased with age as indeed has her zest for life and need to challenge every rule.

Jo Jo the Lion Tamer. He was careful of him on first sight but ended up leaping over his back and

pulling his tail. He’s a young dog, very playful and pleased with life and a great hero on a challenging climb up Scafell Pike raising funds for a medical charity (see back cover). Elliott said “We did it for our Grandma.” He’s a great member of the family and Lisa remarked “We have two boys now

Red is the ultimate old fashioned gentleman even tolerating his not absolutely favourite cat. Jennifer

and Tony say that every day with Red is a ‘doggy joy’. He’s so intuitive and understands everything about us. Our friends adore him too and he does a great job as a ‘pat dog’ in the local care home. He ‘obliges’ with a Christmas picture every year, Santa, Rudolph or in cap and bells.

Storm ‘carolling’ in the beautiful woods and mountains north of Oslo. He and Eigil spend days
