We Say Goodbye to Bobbins
Bobbins was put to sleep yesterday. For well over a year she’s been suffering with diarrhea, which no vet has been able to diagnose. On the very first day of lockdown last year, she had a lump removed from her…
Percy & Our Tie Cards
Here’s Ian showing Percy our fancy new identity cards! Yesterday we went to Merida to collect our new identity cards. These are so much better than the little pieces of paper we had before. I’m not sure how many years…
Nice Photo of Dimrose
Dimrose is a very odd cat. And one of her main oddities is she goes to sleep nose down, so it looks like she’s been sat up and then just fallen asleep and just collapsed forward! However, I saw her…
Daisy and Her Shadow
Percy seems to have very much taken to Daisy and has nominated her as his favourite playmate. It reminds us of Basil and Henry and how they used to play together. We’d see Basil chasing Henry as they would run…

Little Big Ears & Back to School
I’m not sure what this photo shows, other than our apparently clever dogs are in danger of getting their heads stuck in the railings not realising they can’t get in and out like Percy can 🙂 Schools start back next…
Hello Percy, Good Bye House Sale
Percy is a baby chihuahua who has one eye from which he can see light. We took him to the vet and I asked her to look at his eye as it doesn’t appear to move or react in any…
Why I am glad ants are not human sized
Out of the corner of my eye I saw some pieces of lovebird food moving apparently self-propelled along the floor, in a line. This was definitely odd, so I took a closer look and saw it was ants. I followed…
