  • The dog came out for a walk with the eldest kid and I, but we couldn't stop her sticking her head down rabbitholes!

    In a grassy field, a girl in a red dress and comfortable boots kneels with her head completely vanished down a rabbit hole.

    (Oh, and the dog kept doing it, too.)

  • A moderately-large house spider dropped down and startled my dog as she napped in her basket, so now she's hiding under my desk and refusing to return to bed. ๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿ˜‚

  • Finished work. Figured I'd chill in the hammock for a bit as it's so nice out.

    The dog decided she wanted to lie in it too.

    So now I am a pillow for a dog.

  • As the UK's heatwave continues, the dog and I were delighted that this morning was sufficiently overcast that we could manage a proper walk without completely melting.

    Her breed copes badly with the heat and we've lately had to keep her indoors or in the shade more than she'd like, so a chance to run around among the trees was very welcome!

  • The unrepentant bleppy face of a dog who, without fail, steals the warm spot I've left behind on the sofa within like three seconds of me standing up.

  • I was happy to get out of the traffic jam and get some fresh air, but the dog is REALLY happy! Running, rolling, sniffing, jumping... so excited to be able to move around!

  • Off to Pembrokeshire on holiday I've had to stop near Cardiff to put some more charge into the car... which provides the perfect opportunity for the doggo and I to explore a nearby sports field and take in All. The. Smells. ๐Ÿถ

  • What's that, girl? Two children are lost somewhere in this bookshop?

    Yeah, I should probably find them and take them home for lunch.

  • Found GC3PP3Q LOL #2 โ€“ Swimming

    Second time lucky! As the pup and I approached the GZ we found a strange handwritten more on the ground, and, having not seen it on the way up, figured that it must belong to a woman we'd passed a little while ago. So we doubled back and returned it to her - turns out it was her shopping list - and chatted about tree beautiful bluebells (which is what she'd come out to see) before parting ways and returning to this cache.
