A Christmas Gift for Pompey
This year our present to Pompey was a dog bed for the master bedroom that Boy had made in a handsome ticking from Rogers & Goffigon. Last evening we lit a fire in the bedroom's fireplace, and the three of us sat in the room, reading aloud. Pompey enjoys his new bed, but as you will see he prefers to push his tushie up against the firescreen for a good baking.
Tomorrow: photos of the decorations at Darlington . . .

Pompey is so handsome and yet so squeezable...
ReplyDeleteThe photograph of Pompey in front of the firescreen just screams Christmas Card for next year!! Adorable!
ReplyDeleteReggie- I'm having a ball going through your blog- how it has escaped me all this time, I don't know. I am very glad to see the bright shine on your brass fireplace equipment. Nothing says "well kept house" better, as far as I'm concerned, and nothing makes a room look duller or unloved more than a pair of tarnished andirons- typically gracing an empty hearth.
ReplyDeleteHello Magnus, and welcome! I agree, dull and tarnished fireplace equipment is to be avoided, if possible. We are fortunate to have someone who is willing to clean and polish it for us, and actually enjoys doing it (see my "The Decorating Progresses" post). Previously this task fell to yours truly, so it wasn't as well cared for as you see it here...
ReplyDeleteHe is really handsome. I may have missed this somewhere, but how old is Pompey? Did he have a blacker face that has greyed, or was he always that color?
ReplyDeleteHello Kirsten: Welcome to RD. Pompey turned eleven this past May. His muzzle was black when he was a pup, as can be seen in parts III and IV of the Pompey Chronicles, which appears here in my blog. Thanks, Reggie
ReplyDeletePugs are such great dogs.
