Month: September 2025

  • On the Twenty-First of Bleptember this young doggo was very excited to see a field of goats. Goats! I like to interpret her expression as saying "OMG have you seen the thing that's living in this field!?"

    An inquisitive and excited expression let down only slightly by the inevitable blep and by a tentacle of drool! ๐Ÿ˜‚

  • It's the Twentieth of Bleptember, and I still struggle to conceive of how it's comfortable to lie down with not only your head but also 50% of your tongue lying flat on your soft, furry pillow.

    (This troublesome young lady stole and tried to eat a dry-wipe whiteboard pen yesterday. She's fine, but it was briefly alarming when she started vomiting bright green ink everywhere...)

  • Even play-fighting isn't an excuse for our bleppy dog to put her tongue away. Happy Nineteenth of Bleptember!

  • We took a longer-than-usual walk on this warm Eighteenth of Bleptember morning, and the doggle's all tuckered-out.

  • Sometimes you really want the apparel for a band or album to exist and it just doesn't. And so, not for the first time, I made my own...

    Full image of Close-up of a human torso wearing a yellow t-shirt, on which there's a black outline of a five-pointed star with the top point replaced with the silhouette of a person, in the style of the Hamilton logo except that instead of being Alexander Hamilton with his hand held high the silhouette is a basketball player reaching for a leaping dunk. The text on the star reads "Slamilton: A Basketball Musical".

  • It's the Sixteenth of Bleptember, and our derpy doggle's back from a playdate with her best friend... although you wouldn't know how close they are from this picture, in which she seems to be blowing a raspberry at him as she walks away!

    Full image of Two French Bulldogs wearing blue coats walk across a meadow of grass and clover. The energetic-looking black one watches as the dorky-faced champagne-coloured one of Bleptember fame walks away from him, her tongue sticking out of her mouth and clamped between her teeth.

  • It's the Fifteenth of Bleptember, and our young doggo has never looked so inelegant as when she lies on her back on the sofa with a dorky tongueful grin on her face.

    Full image of A French Bulldog wearing a teal jumper lies on her back on a sofa, her head hanging over the side, as she receives a belly rub from a human sitting near her. She's looking towards the camera, with her top lips hanging backwards on account of her unusual angle, and her tongue sticking out.

  • A lazy Sunday morning this Fourtheenth of Bleptember provides the perfect opportunity to dogpile onto a convenient nearby human... and gradually dampen their trouser leg with your blep.

    Full image of A French Bulldog snuggles comfortably amongst a pile of blankets on a sofa, with her head - and sticking-out tongue - resting atop the black trouser leg of a human with whom she shares the seat.

  • Is it possible to allow sideloading *and* keep users safe?

    Terence Eden's upset at Google's proposed changes to Android to further lock-down the ecosystem, and I'm concerned too.

  • It's the Thirteenth of Bleptember, and the bleppy young pupper is watching television. She enjoys the shows with dogs, of course, but also the ones with other animals whose silhouettes stand out against the background, like birds in flight. All Creatures Great and Small is a particular favourite.

    Full image of A French Bulldog wearing a teal jumper sits on a sofa, intently watching something out of frame. Her tongue is out, of course.

  • It's the Twelfth of Bleptember, and our little blepper has tucked herself away tidily, wrapped up in her snuggly warm jumper, to hide from the torrential rain that's beating down across Oxfordshire. Oh, and her tongue's sticking out, of course.

    Full image of A French Bulldog wearing a teal jumper lies in a brown fuzzy dog basket, her legs tucked neatly beneath her body. One ear is sticking up and the other tucked back, and her tongue is sticking out in a full blep.

  • When our doggo carries around her chew toy like this, I always think she looks a little like Winston Churchill with his cigar. If Churchill also wasn't able to stop blepping, that is!

    Full image of A French Bulldog stands on a sofa, facing the camera, a rawhide chew toy hanging out of the left-hand-side of her mouth, and her tongue lolling from the right-hand-side.

    Happy Eleventh of Bleptember! (This one's not going out on Mastodon, at least not immediately, because I'm having some Internet difficulties at home right now!)

  • It's the Tenth of Bleptember, and this doggo is desperately trying to stay awake in case the postman comes back or something else equally interesting happens, but I reckon she's going to nod off any... second... now...
