It's that spooky time of year!
Happy Friday Dudiedogs! The weekend is nearly here, and there's still time to order Halloween accessories for your pup! We have some fabulous fabrics to make your spooky accessories from! A big thank you again to gorgeous German Shepherd Heidi for her help in this little video!! ๐
Have a great day everyone!
7 years ago today! Skye Blue did love these stepping stones! ๐ He entertained many visitors to the area with his antics along the river.
I hope you're all enjoying a bit of sunshine. It's been a nicer day here today, but it felt very autumnal this morning. I've been busy working...Christmas orders are starting to come in. Every day still feels all wrong without our boy. We walked across the fields to Grassington a couple of evenings ago...a walk Skye Blue loved when he could still manage the high stiles. It feels so strange to walk his routes without him. ๐
Good Morning Dudiedogs around the world! Happy Sunday, and apparently it's World Collie Day!!! ๐
As most of you probably know we've just had a little break to catch up with our girl Flo in Cyprus. We got back last weekend, but I've had my head down catching up with orders, and also taking on lots of extra care for my Mum who's had a bit of a wobble since we returned. The shop is open as usual, and the sun is shining (intermittently), so it's time for all of your Dudiedogs to put on their summer bandanas and bow ties, and enjoy a little bit of dry weather while it lasts!If you don't have your summer accessories yet there are lots of lovely designs to choose from on the Dudiedog website. If the weather gets hot don't forget to soak the bandana in cold water before tying on, and it will help to keep your pup cool!
Have a great day everyone! I had to post this video of our beautiful boy, who always loved his holidays! ๐ This was the beautiful sunshine summer of 2022, when we stayed at our (& Skye Blue's) favourite spot, Invercaimbe, near Arisaig. x
As far as Skye Blue's concerned there's no beating a Toft Gate Barn sausage! He's a very happy boy after his physio session with Sophie Pickard. What a way to kick off the 16th Birthday celebrations! (His actual birthday is around the 6th June, but we're starting early this year!) See less
Good morning Dudiedogs around the World! Happy Sunday! We've been honoured to have the sun showing it's elusive face this morning for a while! It's not warm, but at least we had a bit of brightness. Hopefully the mud covering all of our walks might start to dry up!
We've been seeing the arrival of some of our long awaited and very cute animal prints, and I've been busy making up and photographing the sample pieces. There are more new designs on the website, but I couldn't resist making this little video to show off the pigs, hedgehogs, frogs and dinosaurs. I can't choose a favourite...I love all of them, and I hope you will too! All fabrics can be made into bandanas, bow ties and Droolbusters, so if you don't see it listed as an option on the website yet just ask! ๐๐พ๐ท๐ธ๐ฆ๐ฆ
Have a great day everyone!
Good morning Dudiedogs around the World! Happy Saturday! ๐We had a bit of early sunshine, so took Skye Blue for a nice walkies on the meadows, and now he's a VERY happy boy, as it's cooking day! I batch cook special food for him, which he has every day with a little bit of kibble. He LOVES his home cooked food, and I'm sure it keeps him really fit....well, as fit as we can expect at nearly 16! He very excitedly waits for me to put the food into freezer containers, as he then gets the pan to clean out! If you don't already make food for your pups I'd definitely recommend it. I throw all of the stuff into my pressure cooker, but you can use a normal pan...it'll just take a bit longer. It's well worth the little effort it takes to see such an excited and happy dog! ๐
Have a great day everyone! Happy walkies! ๐พ๐พ๐พ๐พ๐พ
Good evening Dudiedogs! Happy Tuesday, and it's Shrove Tuesday, so pancakes for Skye Blue. ๐
A bit of an update on our lovely old boy...as lots of you know he's been soldiering on with his arthritic hips, and has been doing incredibly well, staying cheerful and comfortable with the help of his awesome physiotherapist Sophie Pickard Animal Therapy and our wonderful independent vets Bishopton Veterinary Group . Sadly over the past few days it's become increasingly clear that he's now suffering from some sort of cognitive deterioration. He's struggling to settle at night, pacing and looking, at times, confused. He's still mostly happy, loves his mealtimes and short walks, and he hasn't forgotten treats, cheese and, of course, pancakes! We're doing everything we can to give him the best support possible, staying up with him at night, spending lots of time massaging him and talking to him. It's exhausting and heartbreaking, but we'll do anything to make sure he's comfortable and feels safe.
Here he is enjoying his pancakes tonight! Love this boy SO much. ๐
Good morning Dudiedogs! Happy Sunday! ๐
Valentines Day is just around the corner, and what better way to show your pup some love than to treat them to one of our gorgeous bandanas and bow ties! We have lots of lovely designs to choose from, or you can make up your very own unique slogan/design with our custom printed bandanas!
Good evening Dudiedogs, & a very Happy New Year to all of you from the Dudiedog Team! Sewing has resumed...well, it's pretty much been business as usual over the Christmas break, so sewing didn't actually stop, except for Christmas Day, and yesterday when we tried to go to the cinema, but there was some sort of weird cinema outage that affected most of the world, so we didn't get to see Wonka!๐คฃ๐๐พ x
Skye Blue does love a Christmas tree!! He's been busy under here for most of the afternoon!! ๐พ๐ I'm not sure what's so interesting under there!
Who's ready for Christmas? Not me!! I've still been busily sewing away for most of the day. We've just put away the ironing board and sewing machine, hopefully until after Christmas, but I've been saying that all week!! ๐
Good morning Dudiedogs! Well, It's not feeling very festive here in the Dales with pouring rain AGAIN, but gorgeous Vera and Ed are definitely making me feel a bit more Christmassy, posing beautifully in their matching Christmas Deer bandanas! Don't they look adorable! ๐๐
So if you already have your Dudiedog Christmas accessories it's definitely time to be wearing them, and if you don't you have about a week left to head over to the Dudiedog website and choose a lovely festive bandana or bow tie, so your pup can look as cute as Vera and Ed! As usual, if I get too busy I might need to close sooner, as I won't take on orders that I can't complete and deliver in time for Christmas.
Have a great day everyone!
Thank you for sending in the lovely photos Alice! ๐
