Clover (strictly speaking she is Red Clover of Barrow Green) is a red Tibetan Spaniel aged 2 and a half years. They are known as "Tibbies" by their owners and are 1/4 dog, 1/4 cat, 1/4 monkey and 1/4 human. Clover is the fifth in succession here and shows all the gaiety, mischief and dancing ability of her ancestors. She is especially fortunate in having been blessed by a Tibetan Master who held a Retreat here in 2005. The Venerable Kunzang Dechen Lingpa named her "Pema Ludrun" meaning Daughter of Light. Traditionally such a blessing means she is an enlightened being. She is certainly a light in my life. Just to ensure she doesnt get too airborn she has plenty of other names too: Clovie Clogs (large paws); Clover the Rover; Little Missus; Clogger Dogger........ she will re-appear from time to time as will stories of previous much loved Tibbies......
