Last time Husband was in hospital in Perth, a visitor came in with three Irish terrier pups and Husband fell in love with them. So, after he got home I made some enquiries and found him a puppy, Jack, and Son and I surprised Husband. My mother was kind enough to go and get Jack from Perth and bring him home to us, so when she arrived we told Husband to close his eyes and I put Jack into his arms – well, kind of. Even at 4 months of age, Jack was a lot bigger than our miniature dachshunds, Doc and Blaze!
As you can see, Husband and Jack bonded immediately and they have a wonderful friendship. Unlike Doc and Blaze who are ‘outside/inside dogs’ ie. they are mostly outside but can come inside too, Jack is more of an ‘inside/outside’ dog, so he spends a lot of time at Husband’s feet in the living room and stretches out on the bedroom floor if Husband is having a rest.
On the phone to Husband yesterday, he said, “You haven’t bought any more birds, have you?”
“No,” I said, truthfully.
“Or dogs?”
“No.”
“Okay, then,” he said with a relieved sigh.
I didn’t tell him about the galah I’ve ordered. Husband has always loved galahs!

Welcome home. That love is so very easy to see between the two of them.
Yeah, Jack has really been missing Husband so it will be a fantastic reunion all around tomorrow!
You are my kind of girl! Birds and dogs — heaven right here on earth.
You are so right!
What’s a galah?
A pink and grey cockatoo – very common here unlike red-tails!
Jack looks like a welcome companion to healing
Yes, he’s adorable.
