Non-Humans Of Greystones #16: Millie

Millie takes Rita for her daily walk…

he name’s Millie, and I’ve been patrolling the streets of Greystones for almost four years now.“

“The old broad behind me is Rita. Good sort – makes sure I’m safe, and warm, and healthy.

“Which is all we dogs pretty much need, you know, to be your knight in furry armour. For life. I’m half-Terrier, half-Tasmanian Devil – so, I may look soft, but, just you ask Rita about that time the vet tried to examine my ear. She’ll tell you – the guy had to knock me out!

“I may be all Daniel O’Donnell on the outside, baby, but I’m pure Conor McGregor on the inside.

“Thankfully, Rita’s all about spreading the love, so, I haven’t had to break out the big gums for quite a while now. All these walks down by the water help soothe my troubled soul too, of course, and it also gets Rita out of the house. So, win-win.

“We’re perfect for each other, Rita and I. We make the perfect good-cop-bad-cop duo. So, if you need anyone shaken down, just holler.

“We’ll break that sucker in seconds…”

Sadly, the lovely Rita Gahan passed away on Sunday, October 18th 2020. Safe travels…
