Posted on November 19, 2015 by annabellefranklinauthor

Some people think sighthounds are only good for hunting little fluffy bunnies, but this isn’t the case. Pearl and I would rather leave the bunnies to enjoy their lives on the dunes around Three Cliffs Bay while we stay home … Continue reading →

March Madness

Posted on March 5, 2014 by annabellefranklinauthor

It’s the season of wild winds and dinky daffodils… …and spring tides flooding the valley behind Three Cliffs Bay. The other day, Annabelle took us down to the shingle bank at the end of the valley to look at the … Continue reading →

Winners and Losers

Posted on November 20, 2013 by annabellefranklinauthor

I felt sorry for Annabelle when we went to Oxwich Bay last weekend.  She was trying to get shots of us racing with Mollie and Owen on the dunes and the beach.  Of course, she didn’t have a hope of … Continue reading →

This has been a weekend of small, fluffy dogs. On Saturday, we had a visit from Bella and her human, Annabelle’s friend Sian.  Bella is a cross between a Bichon Frise, a Border Terrier and a Tasmanian Devil.  Still, one … Continue reading →
