Kiwi is on the dreaded retractable lead. Sadly her recall when faced with something as exciting as a wide open beach isn’t there yet!
our Labrador does the Schrödinger thing too! Both getting on and off the sofa!
Away for the weekend to avoid the fireworks. Staying in a lovely property on the Capheaton estate, our neighbours are doing the same, they also have a Greyhound.
Stacey is knackered from the Uber zoomies she's had. Getting her to the pub might be an effort tonight.
In Mauritius which has a rep for stray dogs. They’re everywhere but not in numbers, mostly individual. In the resorts, on the beaches and out and about on the streets. They’re absolutely no bother, don’t approach you and there’s no dog shit anywhere. Which makes me think there’s nowt wrong with dogs, just the humans attached to them.
are we there yet?
Happy "birthday" to this big dude!
(he's a rescue so we have no idea when his actual birthday is, or how old he is)
The moose survived about 4 minutes ?
Watching for heathens North of the wall
This house is missing a full loaf of lemon drizzle cake.
I wonder where it went...
We did some play whilst on the walk, it was a quiet evening.
BUt the odour can render a chewer unconscious.

Ziggy. Nearly 12 months old. Ziggy was a bit naughty a few weeks back and this morning his bitch had 3 puppies. There were 4 but sadly after nearly 24 hours in labour the first didn't come out and she had to have the other three out by c-section.
He's ace though. Always so excited when I'm home from work. Pic was taken after a haircut and don't he look pleased with himself?
Same. She's not a fan of the fireworks that some urchins keeps setting off from the woods near our house. So day naps are maximised.
Roxie asserting her authority with Fred and Bertie, two quite small but very boisterous 7 month old labs. She's getting pretty adept at the body-slam technique!
I walked to the shop without him, I wasn’t allowed to leave him again.
Roxie had her first professional groom. Definitely smells better 🙂 Appears to be still damp and a bit traumatised. She's got a few months to get over it.
Apparently we take too long to serve Her Highness her tea after the 5pm walk.
A rare short walk this morning!
She not normally one for rejecting the cold!
Proper frosty walk this morning.
These 2 enjoyed the woods yesterday.
If we get snow that stays i think i will work from home tomorrow so we can go play in the snow at lunch
Mrs_fiat is at home with the hounds while I’m away on business. So Jake’s taken the hump. “When’s dad back? Why am I attached to this string? Why can’t you throw this stick? I’m bored. Do you want me to be bored? I’ve things to do, places to sniff, squirrels to chase, deer to be scared of in the forest at night and you’ve got me here attached to this string!”

Not quite enough snow for Roxie to really experience it properly. I'm hoping we get a dump so she can disappear completely in a snow bank 🙂 They do like it tho, both here and Lola very frisky this morning!
We had a good ammount of snow here and my two love it.
Here is the youngest having fun when we went out at lunch
Luca loves the snow too,
Her ladyship chivvying me up for the summit treats this morning - no snow in this corner of Scotland, just a stunning, frosty morning.
She’s now crashed out on the sofa with a tummy full of chicken.
This dog is happiest when it's as cold as possible!
Bitterly cold last night up on Holcombe Moor / Peel Tower, Canicross running today.

Them: RM we were expecting you for an early morning ride.
Me: Yeah, sorry had some stuff that needed my attention.
The stuff:
It was past Oscar’s bedtime in the pub so he made himself comfortable.
@mikkel - they look exactly the same. I bet there's a lot of "wasn't me, definitely the other dog' going on 🙂
As a dog owner, an important - oft forgotten - activity is to ensure you've measured your sofas before getting a new dog.
As you can see, we've failed to calibrate our sofa/dog coefficient correctly 🙂
Lola is defo giving off heavy 'get off my butt' vibes to the pup there 🙂
Took them out this morning just into the fields by our house as too windy to risk the woods. Absolutely filthy weather, sideways rain, still cold, just miserable. Both dogs decided that today would be an "my ears are for decoration and looking cute' day and ran around getting muddy for blooming ages before the "call of the big gravy bone" became too much.
40 mins outside, 20 mins drying the silly buggers off. I love our dogs but sometimes.....
He’s an amazing character and has transformed our lives in only the couple of days he’s lived here.
Learning how to WFH
Exciting week of firsts for Ted. First snow and first haircut. Good times!
