My niece Jennie is a sweetie. She comes up to Scotland every year, from Kent, to see her two grandads. Her Aberdeen grandad and her Braemar grandad (my dad), both nearing 90. She usually looks me up too. We were lucky and got a fine day for lunch in the garden at our place, so Ivy the Staffy got to join in too!
I know I shouldn't assign feelings to a dog (anthropomorphism and all that) but Ivy looks so caring and empathetic. Nice photo of all three and glad you were able to visit with your niece.
Ivy has such a delightful look on her face..
