Successful morning dog walk through a pseudo-orchard of blackberry bushes.

My current challenge and nemesis. A giant water bottle. It’s like a race through the day checking I’ve drunk enough. Can confirm it’s 1:25 and I’ve only just caught up for today. Apparently hydrating is hard work!?

No, Leia, you cannot have any Twister.

Eurovision begins. Much to the disdain of a sleepy Labrador.

Away from home for a work trip and struggling with the distance?

Spend 4 hrs with an 8 wk old Labrador puppy. I can confirm there is no better fix.

Follow me for more pro tips.

Two hours of walking = one very happy Han Solo.

What type of cheese do your dogs like? Ours’ top choice is currently Saint Agur.

You know your WFH habits are well established when closing your laptop results in much excitement from the dogs: it’s time for dinner!

Can confirm this book is as good as I’d hoped it would be. Encouraging for those of us with long covid, CFS and the like.

Things Han Solo has stolen this Christmas (so far):

- one pecan/cinnamon cake
- one (empty) chocolate advent calendar
- one packet of fisherman’s friends
- Tupperware from the kitchen counter
- a soft dog ornament on the Christmas tree (which brought down the tree)

Leia had a bath for 35 minutes today. She wouldn’t move until the tub had drained.

Someone is desperate for more broccoli.

Don’t believe her expression. She is well cared for and has just finished a long full of kibble and marmite.

I’ve just found the #blacklabrador hashtag and I am here for it.

Here’s mine. This is Leia. AKC name Daughter of Darth. And yes, she is a princess. She even gets carried up the stairs (she’s 9 and has arthritis, so the lady gets what the lady wants).

This is Han Solo. He's a good-looking fella but sometimes a bit of a pain in the butt. And yes, he knows.
