A little something to make you smile … Ray and her sister Coco and brother Leo at 18 days old, like little hamsters 🥹🐶💗

📣📣📣 MEET RAY! 📣📣📣

Life changing news to share of the best kind … exactly two weeks from today, this beautiful little Ray of sunshine will be joining the Charley Chau family - our gang have a new little sister! ❤🐶❤

Never one to keep life simple when it comes to beautiful puppies, Ray is in Los Angeles so I’ll fly out to the US next week to spend a few days with Ray so we can bond a little before we begin our big life adventure together.

As always when flying with one of our dogs, I’ve got to do a crazy route home so that Ray can fly with me in the cabin - a long trip involving two flights, a ferry and a train! I’ll be posting along the way to keep you all in the loop!

In the meantime, puppy preparations are well underway at home and in the office to get ready for Ray's arrival. I've been reading and re-reading the blog on our website on how to welcome a newbie into the family (https://www.charleychau.com/blogs/blog-offers/canine-emotional-well-being-introducing-a-newbie-to-your-doggie-family) and making lists of things to remember and things to do! I’m SO excited! 🎉😍🎉

Brutus: "Who's the skinny dude?"

Theo: "Dunno. Just pretend he's not here."

Hope your Monday is off to a good start!

Last week I was hoping to put out a call for audition tapes for scrabblers but so far haven’t been able to as I’ve run into a tech issue with our competition app but I’m working on it and hope to open up the competition asap so please bear with me!

We were in Wales at the weekend as Brutus was competing at South Wales Kennel Association and he had a lovely day winning Best of Breed and he was shortlisted in the Toy Group which was really fabulous! We’ve missed quite a few shows recently and I realised how out of practice I’ve become as a handler but Brutie did his thing and made me proud as always.

Remember, remember the 5th of November ... less than 4 weeks to go before the dreaded bonfire night and fireworks are already distubing our evenings and poor Brutus is not happy.

A handy blog on our website on things you can do to reduce stress and anxiety for your dog at what can be a frightening time of year: https://www.charleychau.com/blogs/blog-offers/caring-for-your-dog-and-managing-stress-through-fireworks-season

GIVEAWAY ... we're giving away three Calming Combo Gift Boxes courtesty of our friends at Dorwest Herbs - containing Scullcap and Valerian Tablets plus fast-acting Liquid Valerian Compound to help give our canine companions some natural support through the fireworks season. The giveaway is a random draw and it's open to all! - enter on our website. Good luck!

This was me trying to film Brutus digging up one of our new beds in weave II. He’s just not committed enough 🤣 Half-hearted scrabbling! More news next week on a giveaway that I know some of you are already interested in!

Ps thank you for the feedback on my last post about our “look” on Facebook - comments noted! ❤️🙏❤️

I was told that we’re too scruffy on Facebook because we post real life stuff instead of “carefully curated content” 😱 So I’ve been thinking about a slightly more grown up look for Charley Chau when we have “official” announcements to make… hot pink and heavy fonts have been banished. What do you think of the soft sage and neat fonts?

👀 Attention please!

Did you see our launch video for Weave II? Did you notice me with the scissors? We are in need of some lovely video clips of dogs that scrabble at their beds so I can put a new video togther to explain what the new Weave II fabric can withstand! I tried filming Brutus but he's not scrabbler enough!

So, we're going to be giving away three beds in from our beautiful Weave II collection (view it here: https://bit.ly/weave-ii). and in return we'll need videos of scrabbling back from the winners! Watch this space for more details next week!

In the mean time, have a think about what your dog's audition tape for a star scrabbler might look like and tag any dog friends who you know like to scrabble! 😍

Wooohou! Finally! I am over the moon to share with you the latest loveliness to join our collection ... Weave II, a next-generation upholstery fabric that replaces our original (and best-selling) Weave fabric across our collection of luxe dog beds!

We first launched Weave in 2013 - over a decade ago - and since then, tech in textiles has made some huge advances. Always focused on making the best beds that we can, Weave II is a serious upgrade - pluck-resistant, wear-resistant AND stain-resistant!

Take a look and let us know what you think ❤😍❤

I made a fancy landing page too ☺️ https://www.charleychau.com/collections/weave-ii

Ace show dog? Yes. Top dog model? Not so much! So we're launching a new collection - Weave II and designed for the scrablers out there. I was hoping we would have it live by now but our models are keen to push a new creative direction for our photos. Brutus in particular feels they should show dogs doing everything dogs do. I agree with him to some extent but perhaps not this far 🤣

Theo says he hopes you're all having a fab weekend and he'd like you to know that he's feeling tip top even if he does have a funky heart! Doing his best Princess and the Pea. Best photo of today's shoot in the studio - the little Stinkster ❤

👀 The weirdest preview video for a luxe dog bed that I've ever filmed! We're launching a new fabric collection next week and it’s perfect for scrabblers! Here’s a preview of Weave Mk. II ❤

It's always a challenge to explain that a Charley Chau dog bed is not just any old dog bed ... and I think this little preview makes the point!

We're going to be doing photogrpahy over the weekend and will have lots to share next week . In the meantime, have a fab weekend!

And feel free to post videos of your scrabblers ❤️😝🐶❤️
