H is for Honey!

Of course it's for Honey

What else could it be?

A couple of readers said the knew what I was going to post today

Were you right?

So

Let me tell you a bit about Honey

She has many nicknames that I use every day

Honey bunny

The Hunster 

Hunion

The Hunstable 

Sometimes just saying Honey doesn't cut it

Honey is now the grand ol' age of 11

That's 77 in dog years

We got Honey when she was 5 months old 

A tiny little thing 

Cheeky from the start 

I remember the day we went to the shelter 

The lady there told us that she had paired me with an amazing dog

And out came Honey 

To be honest 

I'm wasn't mad about Honey when I first saw her 

I wasn't really into small dogs 

And she was very small 

But 

I trusted the lady that this was a good match 

Web also decided not to change her name 

As it suited her so well

We bundled Honey in to the car 

And headed for home 

Back then 

Before we got Lea 

We had a dog called Leo

Who I also got at the shelter 

He was a beautiful dog 

Fawn coloured

Lean and strong

With such a gentle nature 

Honey came into our lives like a ball of energy 

She followed Leo everywhere 

And slept cuddled in to him 

She was was so cheeky

And claimed her own chair on the first day

Honey had been given in to the shelter by a single mother 

Who had been given Honey as a present 

And being a dog who needed much attention

She couldn't look after Honey 

And so gave her in to the shelter 

I am so glad she did 

As I quickly grew to love her

Honey is bold to the bone 

No matter how many times you tell her not to do something 

Any chance she gets 

She will do it again and again 

Her favourite thing to do is to sneak downstairs to my bedroom 

Go through my bin

And then pan out on my bed

She loves her comfort 

Her bed has two cushions and a blanket 

Her whole life revolves around food

There is something seriously wrong with Honey if she is off her food

Her favourite treat is an pigs ear

And she is quite partial to chicken and beef 

These days she spends a lot of time asleep 

And doesn't always come for a walk 

She goes between her bed and her chair 

And when I go over to her 

Her little tail wags back and forth so fast

Honey almost drowned once 

I had to jump in to the lake to save her 

I wouldn't think twice about doing that 

There's no way I am losing my Honey Bunny

Last year Honeys eye became really infected 

Resulting in one of her eyes being removed 

We were all so worried at the time 

But she made a remarkable recovery 

And is now fighting fit again

Albeit with one eye....

Seriously though 

Honey has my constant companion for the last 11 years 

She has been through a lot with me 

Through out my slips and relapses 

My hospital and treatment admissions 

My highs and lows 

Ups and downs 

She has been at my side 

And I wouldn't believe without her 

When I can't find a reason to get up in the morning 

I get up for her 

When I do t want the leave my house 

I leave to walk her 

She has helped my mental health massively 

Just spending time with her is soothing and relaxing 

She is my best friend 

No doubt 

Here are some photos of Honey for your delectation

Enjoy....
