Marius – one of the guys that I work with – sometimes brings his border collie, Ukumi, around when he comes to work here, and Grace absolutely loves her. She throws sticks for her, throws a ball for her and just plays with her.

Today she made Ukumi a “pie”….she fetched a mixing bowl, collected some chillies, plumbago flowers and pelargonium flowers, filled the bowl with water and covered it with some plastic so that it could “rise”.

She says to Ukumi, “Now we’re going to play. First you run and I’ll catch you, then I run and you catch me.” And off she goes running.

And at the end of the day, “Ahhh, she’s my new friend….I love her.”
