We climbed to the top of the biggest mountain ....

Well, up to the top of Killiney Hill! We were thinking of all our friends .... we'll be pausing to think of Miss Snickers tonight - for more details go to Fergi and Jake's blog.

When we looked to our left we could see Dalkey Island .....

It was a bit windy so Murray held on tightly to me!

When we looked to our right we were looking out over Killiney Beach and along the railway tracks to Bray and Greystones. Murray wondered how far was it to Max but we explained it was the Wicklow Hills we could see in the distance and not the African continent!.... and guess who we met! yes, my brother Clint! He was out having a free run - he works as a Guide Dog with a wonderful lady called Rosemary. Murray really loves meeting Rosemary and Clint and we had a lovely chat. Can you guess who is who??

Well, in case you can't Clint is on the left!
Please excuse the bad photographer shooting into the sun but she has just trying to catch me and Murray having a hug! Thanks Petey for the message in your post yesterday!
Sitting on top of a big rock with Dublin city all laid out behind us - we got Murray to give a big smile because it was a happy moment!

and I just want to say that we are thinking of everyone tonight who needs some extra positive thoughts .....

To Max's Mom - Murray has already counted out his change so he knew he had his €1 to light a candle in the church in rememberance of your Mother tonight.

What a wonderful, beautiful post. It's gray and rainy here - Mom went off this morning to Clown College, because she's going to be a Safari clown in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade in less than two weeks. There will be up to 3 million people on the streets and it is broadcast to over 44 million people nationwide! Mommy's made it on camera a few times, but no one can recognize her in her costume and makeup! Wish I could go to the parade too.

Your pal,

Petey

That Murray sure is a thoughtful little guy to light a candle for Max's Grammy. Tell him not to worry about getting his geography confused. Happens to me all the time. In fact without MapQuest I think my mom would still be driving around Boston from when she went there three weeks ago.

Clive and Clint are total twins! Wow!

Slobbers,

Thankful tears over here. You all are just so thoughtful and wonderful! We have been visiting Max's site a lot, and really love to read that Murray is taking a picture to school, or lighting a candle. This touches our hearts Murray!! And, we are way accross in California.

Big heartful hugs, and snaggle-tooth kisses,
Sierra Rose

Getting just a leetle bit of vertigo even looking at those great pix from up there! So much fun to see Clive's twin and how sweet and kind of Murray to remember to light a candle. Enjoy the rest of your weekend. :)

Such a lovely post - your closing sentiment is so beautiful. Clint is a handsome boy, not hard to tell he is your brother, but we could pick you out for sure.

woos, the OP Pack

Honey the Great Dane said...

Wow - what beautiful views! And when we scrolled down and saw that picture of you with Clint - we did a double take - nearly thought we were seeing double! :-)

Such a lovely ending to the post...

Slobbers,

Climbing mountains is good Clive and Murray - when you are at the top everything below looks so small!
That is the same with all your worries!
We know you will feel better for that big climb!
How cool to meet Clint - two very handsome dogs!
love and kisses

Beautiful walkies just beautiful. And... I did know you were on the right. How fun running into your brother. You are lucky to get so many hugs from NSLM.

PS I'm sending good vibes to Max. I'm sure with you guys praying.. he'll be better before you know it.

We can see a family resemblance between you and your brother but had no problem telling you apart - how fun to run into him.

It looks like you and Murray had a fantastic day.
