🏜️Twelve years of missing the big guy

🐾 Pablo was more than just a dog; he was a true gentleman, a chill guy, and the best companion anyone could ask for. He was by my side through so much, always bringing a sense of calm that made everything seem okay. He was huge and I was tiny; we made an excellent team. So many wonderful memories, not enough time to share them all.
Loving is also learning to grieve; when he passed my heart broke, but the love, loyalty, and strength he taught me helped me become a mum to The Beags & Elsie. I miss Pablo every single day. His legacy lives on in every bit of love I share with Ted, Alf, Elsie & Merle, and every dog that comes next. 🌈❤️

🌄🏔️Snowdon Sunrise Challenge: Completed it, mate! 🌧️⛈️

What an absolutely wild adventure! We kicked off our hike at 1:30 AM in light rain (diolch, tywydd Cymru! ☔️) with the aim of reaching the summit at 4:45 AM. Things didn’t go quite to plan, but, finally, at 5:50 AM, we triumphantly reached Snowdon’s summit at a brisk -3°C, only to be greeted by... a whole lot of clouds! 🌫️😂

From the start, it was chaos: slipping, sliding, and not a single dry patch on me 🌧️ We lost a few brave souls to injury and illness along the way (yes, there was even a suspected case of hypothermia 🥶), but the spirit of the group was unbeatable.

The weather was horrendous, but our determination was stronger. Every single step up that 1085m was fueled by the incredible donations received so far 🥰 My fundraising is now just over £1k, and it’s your support that kept me going through the rain, the cold, and the clouds. Let’s smash this target! I’m aiming for £1500, and every little bit helps 🙌

Donate and support this amazing cause. Together, we can make a real difference! 💚

Merle is such a curious dog, he loves to sit at the window and watch all the comings and goings of Ennersdale Road. My next sewing project is almost certainly a fitted window ledge cushion so he can neighbourhood watch in comfort.

Finished work early today so I took the kids out for an afternoon jaunt at BPP. It started off with BIG Beagle Energy; lots of arrrooos, deaf ears, and crap recall, but they finally calmed and stopped being feral just in time to take a nice pic and go home. Standard behaviour.

The Rainy Day Blues: Top Tips to Keep Your Dog Entertained Indoors

It’s official, I am one dog bath away from a menty-b! How ‘bout you? Normally I really enjoy a rainy day dog walk but recently London has been welsh levels of wet and my tiny car and tiny flat can’t deal anymore. While we can cosy up with a good book or binge-watch our favourite TV shows, our ...

Today I hired a private field and let the beags and Elsie run wild.

There are sometimes days when I am too tired or overwhelmed to walk them together. There are days when I volunteer to watch a friends dog and five pushes me over numbers. And there are days when I just can’t be bothered. Today was all of the above!

It was a lovely day, the sun was shining, and Alf tested the security and can confirm that it’s Beagle proof! Huzzah!

Thursday! The first walk in a hundred months that I’ve not had to hose everyone down before getting back in the car 🙏🏼
