A sad day for us at Charley Chau … lovely Chloe who has been responsible for managing our order dispatch for the last 3 years is moving on. Chloe has been the engine running the show quietly behind the scenes and made sure our customers get their orders on time!

Chloe, a huge thank you from Jenny and I for all your hard work over the last few years and for being so fabulous. We wish you every success in your new job. And Daisy - the nutty JRT - we will miss you too! ❤️❤️❤️

It’s not goodbye though really - we’ll definitely catch up soon x x x

Ray says we’ve been very bad keeping everyone informed of how she’s getting on. Well, I can safely say she has created carnage 🤣 I had forgotten about how much time housetraining takes up. I feel like I’m constantly getting up and down taking her outside to do her business! Anyway, Ray started her obedience puppy class today. This is what she thought of it … she went to sleep when they were explaining why dogs need to be trained 🤣

Some lovely news to end an eventful year with news that Brutus is the Top Male IG in the UK for 2024! I’m so proud of this little monkey! Way to go Brutie! I ‘ve post a reel of Brutie in the ring from this year too: https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1DbpqJh3P9/?mibextid=wwXIfr 😍

I haven’t shared much show news of Brutus this year because he hasn’t actually been to that many shows! After Brutie finished #1 and Top Dog overall in 2023, I decided we wouldn’t compete so hard this year but, somehow, he still managed to win enough CC and Best of Breed awards to finish Top Male and #2 IG overall. #1 this year was a pretty girl IG who was #2 to Brutie’s #1 ranking overall in 2023.

For those who know the show world … at just 3 years of age, Brutus has won 18 CCs, 14 Best of Breed awards and 6 Res. CCs, plus multiple group placings. And Brutus is still the only IG in history to be awarded a US Champion title in just one day of competition! It’s literally mind boggling and I never would have imagined the little monkey would achieve so much when he first came here all the way from Pittsburgh, PA in 2022! Nuts!

I honestly couldn’t be more proud of Brutie - he is a total joy to spend each day with and I feel genuinely privileged when I step into the show ring on the end of his lead.

So, another very good show year for Brutus. 2025 will be a limited number of shows again for him and, if she will humour me, Ray will make her debut in the show ring in March which should be fun - she’s a cheeky one so I’ve got my hands full with Ray 🤣

Thank you to all of you for your lovely comments, messages, and all of your support this year. From a work and personal perspective 2024 was tough at times but the backing that Jenny and I have from you is incredible - thank you from the bottom of our hearts ❤🙏❤

Wishing you, and your families (human and canine) good health and much happiness for the new year ❤❤❤ See you in 2025!

I hope you’re having a lovely Christmas Eve! We’re taking it very easy and Ray is doing great on our walks … you can see she doesn’t look to me for reassurance as much and gaining in confidence to explore this big wide world! ❤️

One weekend of puppy takeover and look at just some of the washing I’ve had to do in the office 🤣🤣🤣.

Today is our last day in the office this week as we’re closing over Christmas for a short break. We’ll still be monitoring emails but may be a bit slower to reply than usual. We come back from the Christmas break on Monday, 30 December.

We’ll be here on Facebook through Christmas though, sharing updates on how the gang are getting on. To manage the change for the boys Ray is having supervised meet and greets with the boys individually and we’re making sure everyone has quiet time on their own too. You can see Brutus has forgiven Ray for biting his nose yesterday 😱 I’d forgotten how much hard work is involved with a puppy. 🤣

Hope you are having a calm and relaxed run up to Christmas! x x x

Ray met Brutus and Theo today on a big walk together. I carried her most of the way in a sling just to let her take in all the new sights and sounds. She was a little unsure of the boys at first but she soon grew in confidence and both boys were great with her 😍 So, so far so good! ❤️🐶❤️

20/12/2024

Well, we finally made it into bed last night around midnight - I really wanted to stay up to try to minimise the jet lag. I have a crate set up for Ray in my bedroom but decided it might be better for both of us if she slept next to me in her airline bag. As you can see it worked a treat. She chewed her chewie for yonks and then finally went to sleep and slept all the way through the night - and no accidents which I was impressed with given she’s only 4 months old 👏👏👏 Today we’ve got a quiet day on our own for her to just take in her new surroundings and tomorrow Ray will meet the boys! Have a great weekend! ❤️🐶❤️

It has been one heck of a journey home but here we are finally at Manchester Piccadilly and now in a cab! We left Jeannie’s house in LA 45 hours ago 😱 Ray has seen so many new sights and sounds and yet she has coped with everything so, so well. I feel unbelievably lucky to bring this little girl home with me and I am so excited to have her join our family 😍 We’ll probably be a bit quieter on Facebook for a few days while I concentrate on helping Ray settle in and decompress from her journey - time for me to put my good dog mum hat on for Ray and the boys who I’ve missed terribly over the last week. A huge thank you for keeping Ray and I company on this crazy trip that was fraught with changes and delays - your well wishes kept us going! ❤️🙏❤️ It has been truly epic to share this journey with you ❤️🐶❤️

19/12/2024

We caught our connecting train to Manchester and we’ve both been fast asleep for the last 2 hours 🤣 Ray has recharged her batteries and is determined to chew the popper studs on my coat 🙃 We’re around 2 hours from Manchester now, and we’ll get a cab to the office before we head home this evening. Theo and Brutus are staying with a friend called Tom at the moment and I think we’re likely to introduce the boys to Ray on Saturday so that Ray has at least tomorrow to fully rest before meeting them. I’ve missed them so much and I can’t wait to see them both and give them a big cuddle ❤️🐶❤️

19/12/2024

Arghhhh! Our boat was stuck waiting for a berth to clear and we missed our train 😭😭😭 so now we have a wait for a different train that gets in to Manchester 2 hours later than our original train 😭😭😭

19/12/2024

We got some sleep and we’re about to dock at Fishguard! Ray slept like a log. I’m feeling a bit icky this morning but I think that’s just tiredness and a cup of tea will sort that out 🤞 train station bound as soon as land - we’re late docking now. See you later!

Update: yikes, it’s 6.39am we’re still on the boat and my train is meant to leave at 6.53 😱

18/12/2024

It has been an EPIC 24 hours 🤣 I’m exhausted, Ray is bush-whacked, not least because she has dealt with a gazillion firsts today … first time on an escalator, in a lift, on a plane, in a taxi, seeing a bus, so many sights and sniffs that her little brain must be fried by now 😵‍💫 I think this will be our last post today as once we get on the boat, we are going straight to our cabin and I am pretty sure we’ll both pass out 🤣 we dock at 6am tomorrow and then we’ve got another epic journey - approx. 6 hours by train back to Manchester but at least we’ll be able to just sit still and snooze! Thank you to all of you for keeping us company on this monster journey home ❤️🙏❤️ Home stretch tomorrow! ❤️❤️❤️

Killing time while we wait for our overnight ferry … Ray is fast asleep in the first design for Charley Chau that she has inspired! Before I set off I decided to make a little fleece pouch for her so I could keep her snug on our travels and this is the prototype. I’ve found the pouch so useful that I’m going to keep refining the design and I hope we’ll launch them next year! 🐶❤️🤞

18/12/2024

We’ve had a quiet 90 mins at Charles de Gaulle and now off to Dublin! Ray is taking everything in her stride and being a star! I think we’re both very tired but we’ll get there! Boarding for Dublin in a tick ❤️🤣🐶

18/12/2024

Just over half way to Paris now … only 4hrs 40 to go on this flight! Ray has been an absolute dream. She’s had a bit of chicken and some cheese , plus she drank some water and she’s been snoozing ever since ❤️ She has managed to wriggle out of her dog pants/nappy but so far no accidents 🤞❤️🐶

17/12/2024

We’re checked in and waiting to board. Ray is coping incredibly well with the trip so far - the shuttle bus didn’t phase her, security didn’t phase her … I couldn’t ask for more! A couple of hours of quiet time now before we get on the plane - chill and cuddles ❤️🐶❤️
