Shara

January 26th 1999 to January 6th 2009

A Lovely Sensitive Creature

I was born 26th January 1999 one of seven puppies. Nothing like a large family, kept my mother Quisha busy for awhile.

Happy days with my mother. I was named Shara after the name Sarah, but recently people have been spelling my name Chara which is the Irish for Dear. I quite like this and will answer to it as well

Exploring the patio

Ready when you are

This was a lovely Summer's day, myself and my mother were out at fishing site near Ardgroom Caves, assisting John take pictures of sea anglers

This was the first postcard I did with my mother, a haymaking scene. Normally I keep out of the limelight, as I really like it here in Derryvore, however with the sad passing of my mother in February 2008 I have been going out with John a lot more

In Cashakeelty Woods helping John get inspiration for oil paintings that became 'In Search of Little People'

Keeping an eye on the tulips

Here's me in February 2008 out on location near Dursey Sound. John tried to explain to me that creatures such as me are not allowed on the Beara Way, on which this pic was taken. I have tried to learn how to read, I watch television from time to time, but rather than sit in the car when he went off for a nice walk I thought I'd chance my paw and go with him past the No Dogs Allowed sign. Whooof to you all!!

Here I am a week before Christmas 2008 and its snowing. Trouble with snow is I start to disappear! Whiskey, the cat, is following me here making sure I don't get lost
