I’m a raw-fed, tug-obsessed agility staffy. I love exploring the Berkshire countryside (England)

When I got my invitation to Bear’s first birthday party today , I knew this was the only suitable mode of transport. I

Do you like my ride?

Hope you have the best day, Bear.

The handsomest boys…

Mummy and I had a lovely walk with the gorgeous and his amazing mum this morning.

We got so much practice ignoring deer and horses and both did amazingly - no wonder we look so pleased with ourselves.

What have you done today that you’re especially proud of?

When it’s too hot to even read….

Anyone else massively confused by the weather this weekend? Yesterday it was summer and it was chilly enough for mummy to don long sleeves and today, although it’s now September, is proper boiling again.

If anyone can explain this, please comment below.

What else do you bring to the party of the dog that has everything?

I know we’ve been quiet lately but when I found out my dear friend was turning 10, I knew I couldn’t miss his celebrations.

Let the sausage game commence….

Wishing you a wonderful day Gats.

Turns out daises are like buses - no sooner did mummy tell that we had t seen any this year, we stumble across a field full.

I think mummy just stopped walking around with her eyes half closed.

Do your humans need to brush up on their observation skills?

Mummy says I’m the gold at the end of her rainbow.

We’ve had crazy weather this bank holiday weekend - the humans managed to get sun kissed and soaked all in the same day.

It did mean we were lucky enough to catch this rainbow over nanny’s garden.

When did you last see a rainbow?

When the vet says you need to take things slowly and your humans take it a bit too literally.

Are you more hare or tortoise when it comes to your natural walking speed?

The look I gave mummy last Tuesday when she told me I was going to have to sleep in a T-shirt until my staples come out.

I soon showed her though, as I managed to wriggle out of it the first night without even waking her and, as I’ve not tried to lick or chew my staples once since my surgery, she agreed I could go back to sleeping naked.

Do you tend to lick or chew your skin when you are injured or sore? How do your humans stop you?

Soon as you say “My dog would never”, here they come nevering like they never nevered before…

We’ve had plenty of questions about why I needed surgery this week, so mummy asked me to do a post explaining it to everyone.

It turns out I had a blockage in my small intestine that had to be surgically removed. Mummy was amazed by this as I’m not a scavenger and always spit out pieces of stick and toys when I’m destroying them. I never have raw hide or any controversial items and tend to eat relatively slowly and politely. Although I’m raw fed, I don’t have whole bones, as I like mummy to hold them for me while I eat and that makes her feel sick. Even so, the blockage turned out to be a piece of my evening dental chew, that I hadn’t chewed properly.

Mummy is obviously hugely thankful that it turned out to be something that could be removed safely and wasn’t something more sinister, like a tumour. But it really made her think about how easily we take our pet’s health for granted.

What is something your pet has done that you never imagined possible?

“Home is where somebody notices when you are no longer there.”
[Aleksandar Hemon]

I’m pleased to announce that I’m finally home from hospital - or at least my second home. Mummy and I are staying at nanny’s for the next couple of weeks as she has no stairs to worry about.

I’m surprisingly perky today and eating really well, but I’m on restricted exercise, so we’ve been playing sniffing games in the garden. Mummy can’t believe how close to my normal self I am considering it’s only 4 days since I had major surgery.

Have you ever had surgery? How long til you were back to your normal self?

Happy

Having surgery today. Please keep me in your thoughts 😢

UPDATE - He’s out of surgery. All went well. They want to keep an eye on him for a few days but the vet is confident he’ll make a full recovery. Thanks for all your prayers, thoughts and kind words. 💜💜

Throwback to the days when I was still the new kid on the block and mummy’s screensavers were all photos of my sisters.

Of course, they are all of me now.

Are you the poster child in your house? Who did you have to usurp for the title?

When you find the perfect spring floral bandana and realise it’s still attached to the tree…

Are you a fan of florals?

Honestly, I know some folks struggle with Mondays, but Thomasina only just woke up from a 6 month long nap on Friday, so it’s not as if she needs the rest.

Who is the laziest in your family?

To all my uk friends - you’ll be pleased to know that, after a long and exhausting search, I finally managed to locate the sun and reinstate it in the sky in time for the weekend.

You’re welcome.

How did you make the most of the sunshine this weekend?

This is mummy’s favourite tree - it’s a magnolia in nanny’s garden. It’s always such a picture in springtime and then provides fabulous shade in the summer.

Do you have a favourite tree?

Now this is my idea of an Easter treat - an egg shaped cheeseburger.

Anyone else prefer meaty treats to chocolate (even dog chocolate)? I point blank refuse to eat the stuff. What would you like the Easter bunny to bring you?

🔉SOUND ON 🔉 20 minutes of Easter fun in nanny’s garden today condensed into a mere 13 seconds. Nanny thought the last one was too hard for me, but I showed her. Do you get an egg hunt on Easter Sunday? Wishing everyone a fabulous Easter break, however you are spending it.

🔉SOUND ON🔉 Check out where we were staying last week to celebrate a special birthday for daddy - our very own hobbit hole. Mummy apologises that we were far too busy fighting dragons and orcs for her to have time to post anything, but we will share some of the highlights this week. Are you a Lord of the Rings fan? Thankyou to @weststowpods for creating such amazing dog friendly accommodation. Happy #adventuresunday

🔉SOUND ON🔉 The song going through my head the other day when I self released from the contacts in an agility training session and mummy told me to get back in position. As you can see, I was much further away from them than I realised, and got a little confused. It made mummy laugh enough at the time and even more so when she realised how well it fit this music. Do you like to ham it up sometimes to amuse your humans and do they appreciate it? Happy #funnyfriday

🔊SOUND ON 🔊 Better out than in, they always say… Mummy read so many books and articles about dogs when I first came to live with them and one thing that stuck with her was an article about the disease “bloat” and how dogs that burp are less likely to be affected by it. This led her to always praise me for burping and I still always try to make sure she doesn’t miss a single one. Lucky her. (And yes that is her laughing at the end) What behaviours did your humans inadvertently reinforce in you when you were young without really intending to? Happy #mannersmonday

🔉SOUND ON🔉 Well, I hate to sound like British Rail or Goldilocks, but for a pup who normally loves snow, the stuff that fell this week, didn’t impress me at all. It was like little needles rather than lovely big soft flakes, and didn’t hang around long enough to even make the tips of the lawn white Biggest anti climax of the week. Are you as fussy as me when it comes to the white stuff? Happy #fussyfriday #winter #wrongkindofsnow #imgoingin

🔉SOUND ON 🔉 Making the most of the cold dark winter evenings. Not that I need an excuse to get snuggly. Are you a snuggle addict too? Happy #snugglesunday #snuggleaddict #cuddlebuddy #staffylove #velcrodog

🔊SOUND ON 🔊 Who doesn’t want to see a cute dog trotting alongside a load of candy canes in the week before Christmas. And I didn’t even lick a single one. Do you like candy canes? Happy #toocutetuesday #candycanes #christmasiscoming #dogsatchristmas

🔊SOUND ON 🔊 Nothing I like better than choosing my own treats when we go to @petsplusberkshire . Any of my British friends remember the show “Little Britain”? 20 years on and mummy and daddy still both use this catchphrase ALL THE TIME. Are your humans stuck in a time warp too? Happy #wontlookwednesday #littlebritain #louandandy #timewarp #dogenrichment

🔊SOUND ON🔊 When you’re waking past a picnic area but it’s too cold to stop for a picnic… Do your humans like to make games out of random objects on walks? Happy #fridayfunday #domorewithyourdog #funwithdogs #friyay #dogsmakeeverythingbetter

🔊SOUND ON 🔊 Nothing brings out my side eye more than hearing an unexpected noise while I’m engrossed in a game of tug. Still not letting go though. What brings out your side eye? Happy #tugtuesday #doggames #sideeye #whatwasthat #playtowin

🔊SOUND ON 🔊 The little pep talk I give myself when I need to rescue a particularly large stick from the river. Shout out to anyone who can name the movie. Do you have a penchant for large sticks? Happy #wetdogwednesday #dogswithsticks #soggydoggy #liftheavy

🔊SOUND ON 🔊 Nobody saw that right? And I have absolutely no idea why mummy is laughing - I’m just jumping out of the water in my usual graceful manner…really. Are you secretly a bit clumsy at times? Happy #wetdogwednesday #clumsydog #thatdidnthappen #soggydoggy
