Zac of Hodgson House
My name is Zac, I am the special pet terrier of Anne & Allen from Hodgson
House, Echuca's B&B on the Murray River. I adopted them when I was at
the RSPCA in Echuca and my job is take the guests for walks and bring them a lot of joy.
Living by the River and next to the Wharparilla Flora Reserve is really a
great dog's life, I never have to wear a lead, have a huge back garden and can
watch the birds from the terrace.
I will wait for the doorbell, meet our new guests on their arrival (who
quickly become my new friends - I'm very friendly) and
accompany them on the walk down to the river and beyond - I just love company!
Some time ago, I got this email from Anne & Glenn:
"Hi Anne , Allen and Zac
Well we arrived home safe but damn half way home we realised we did not get
that picture of Zac we so wanted to take. Please tell him we are sorry but we
will be back and will be sure to get a few then"
As you can imagine, I thought "Oh no! Will anyone photograph me?"
| So I asked all my friends who've visited me at Hodgson House and have a photo of
me you'd like to
share, please send it to Anne & Allen, they'll put it on this page for
everyone to see.
I still don't understand why Paul & Diane Field from Malua Bay
in NSW who visited us recently took this photo of my feline brother,
Sonny. Am I right in saying, "I'm the one who walked down the River with them!"
Surely I thought,
"Someone
wants to photograph me?" |
 |
| At last! My friends, Ian & Carol Robertson from Tasmania
sent a photo of me - quite distinguished if I do say so myself - but
I'd love to see more of me!
So please keep sending those photos to Anne
& Allen.
Thank you again Ian & Carol - you're wonderful and
when you come back to Hodgson House, I promise I will take you for
a walk! |

Then I got this wonderful email from Marie and
Fred
"OK Zac ,I had tears in my eyes reading about
you being ignored by your friends !!!I felt guilty too because I
knew I had a photo of you some where in the dark bowls of my computer .I
have found it now , but you have to share the photo with Sonny
.OK???
"
Marie and Fred will be visiting us again soon and if
Fred is really good, I'll go with him down to the river - Fred's a fisherman
and he needs company while he sits by the river!
Thank you Fred, it's a lovely photo of me and yes,
Sonny and Marie but all my friends will recognise my tail and that special
way I have. |
 |
| I had another visit from Fred & Marie and of course, we went
down to the river (as I do with all my guests!) and Fred took this photo of
me.
If I look a little sensitive its because Anne will see that I've been on
the picnic table and I'll be in trouble. (You know what Mum's are like!)
Still it's a nice photo of me and it does show the forest, so I have
decided to include it in my snapshots - even better, it doesn't have Sonny
trying to put his face in my gallery! Thanks again Fred. |
 |
| Well, there's more to my story, Old Fred has had such a good
time visiting me he had his family stay in Echuca while Marie & Fred stayed
with us at Hodgson House.
Of course, Anne invited the family over to visit us and have a swim and I
met Fred's grandson, Dillon. Dillon and I really clicked, I kissed him
on the lips and he kissed me. He was just the right height and we were both
sad when he went back home.
But he did promise me that he will be back and I'm looking forward to it.
Gosh, I do take a take a good photo, I should have been a model! |

Anne & Allen appreciate all your comments about me and how I entertained you
during your stay - so please send in some more photos and stories - I want Anne &
Allen to appreciate what a big part I play in making Hodgson House such a
lovely place to visit! Remember, the email address is info@hodgsonhouse.com.au Look
forward to seeing you soon Love, Zac |
