my brother matt is trying to decide what breed of dog to buy at the moment. he is tossing up between a border collie and a ridgeback. we grew up with our beautiful border collie dog tilly and i don't know how there could even be any contest. but if i was in any doubt, all it would take is for me to watch this home video. it's of us picking tilly out from her litter as a puppy. how adorable is it when matt gets knocked over by two of them. his little giggle just makes my heart burst with love. my other favourite bits... matt pulling tilly onto the back seat of the car, alyce looking like a little boy, seeing our matching black and white cat fluffy who was also just a kitten at the time, throwing the ball for tilly only for her to run in the opposite direction, my style (rocking the leggings and gumboots!), dad sounding exactly the same as he does now, my quick wave at the bus stop (i was shocked at my no fuss attitude!) and seeing the beautiful house that we grew up in again. it holds so many beautiful, happy memories and i am so grateful that our visiting cousins captured these special moments and places in our lives on film forever. i had tears rolling down my face when they first showed me in sydney last year and i still tear up at hearing matt's voice and seeing alyce's little waddle. it's a shame i'm not as young and as cute as matt and bub, but then again... i could never top them. ♥
