Maybe with hindsight it was not such a good idea BUT I had found a tin of gloss paint and decided to paint the back of the cupboard door in my very small hallway.

As I held the door open by the handle and started to paint, Hippie sat motionless by my side observing but, not for long…

She decided it would be such a fun game to go and fetch her cuddly toys one by one and squeeze past me and the open door to put them neatly to bed in her crate which is in the lounge. Then……

When they were all in there and I had been doing a crazy dance to let her past…… she fetched them back one by one and put them on my daughter’s bed!

I finished the door and then examined the mad greyhound’s coat …… yes she now has a new white stripe – a truly glossy coat!!!
