Our Grand dog

Gracie is one of  our 5 grand dogs.  She was the princess of Adrienne’s household until kids came along.  With the kids’ arrival, Gracie became a part of the pack.  Now you’d think she would be a little disappointed at her fall from grace.  But, no, the morsels of food that fall to the floor together with her oh-so-important responsibilities of guard dog to the kids more than make up for her lowered status.

Gracie is getting a little break from her duties this summer  in Colorado, while the Hirsts will visit England for several months.  She tolerated her car trip with us to Colorado from Texas to find a new duo of kids to watch at the Galyon household before the last leg of the trip over the mountains to Cedaredge.  Her thoughts are loud and clear when she leaves each batch of kids – “Who is going to keep them safe and well-licked?”

Aubrey just barely clears Gracie’s head.  Toward the end of our short visit, Aubrey was getting Gracie in line with the rest of the Galyon family!

We’d love to get an action shot of Gracie flying around our land here in Cedaredge but we’re afraid that the camera will just not click off pictures quickly enough – sort of like trying to get shots of Cody!  So we’ll just settle a “is it snack time yet?” shot.

We know the Hirst kids, especially Charlie and Keanan, are missing Grace but we’re happy to have some quality time with our grand dog.
