It’s Phoebe Friday – which means I get to visit Phoebe the Jack Russell, Henrietta the budgerigar and Josie who has known me since the day I was born. Always a lovely thing to do. Josie and Phoebe having a conversation…. 
Henrietta the Budgerigar – Phoebe becomes very jealous when I talk to Henrietta….. 
Two beauties I see when visiting friends in Wiltshire. 
And Bertie Bull Dog….a friend of Cristeve the Cat 
And of course some magic for the weekend in the form of a hummingbird.
Have a lovely weekend.

Lovely post. Love the dogs although we used to have budgerigars when I was younger (some very tame who would wander around the house free) so Henrietta brings me very good memories.
And thanks for the magical hummingbird!
I love budgerigars and would have one or more but with travel etc….I wouldn’t want to leave them. They are so intelligent. I once looked after one – who I spoiled rotten, as I do most things…painted it, played music – allowed it to flow free….but when it was taken back the poor little thing died a week later…because it’s owner didn’t do those things. It still makes me feel sad…Have a lovely weekend. Janet. x
BEAUTIFUL!!!

Just reading your post made me smile. You capture character so well and who cannot love such charming dogs 🙂

Whenever I see that particular painting of Phoebe, it lifts my spirits. The other dogs and Henrietta are sublime, not to mention the hummingbird! Have a wonderful time in Wiltshire. xx

Phoebe Friday is SO me! I just loved all these adorable critters, especially your paintings of them…..sighs…I wish I had as much talent in my little finger….I am almost animaled out as I type, but this put it all back into a lovely light! Thanks for that!xxxxx
Good morning Dina…so glad this hit the spot…we all have our moments of wanting to move away from something but when it’s such a great love in our lives, we will always return. Have a beautiful midsummers day.xxx
