What is a Buddy Dog? Discovery Day

Some of you may know that we had Mabel since October 2020. She is our daughter’s buddy dog from Guide Dogs. I have not blogged or told many people about Ms C’s eye condition. It took us many years before we had a diagnosis for her in December 2019. It was not promising for her and then we had the Covid lockdown situation so it was a tough year for her. She had to miss most of her year 6 and jump into year 7 in a new school with none of her primary school buddies. Then with more lockdown and isolation, she had to miss a lot of school.

Hirst Footwear Bogs Crandall II Boots Review

As all the clocks have recently turned back an hour, it is the signal that we are drawing towards the cold and wet English winter which means temperatures are dropping fast and the ground is often wet! Now is a great time to stock up your boots and wellies before the Christmas shopping rush. Where is the best shoe shop to look online? Hirst Footwear would be a great place to start.

From dog-friendly holiday parks to essential travel accessories, here are a couple of ways in which you can plan your dog-friendly holiday to be as enjoyable and stress-free for you both.

Ravensburger Selfies-Dogs’ Delight Puzzle

If you are looking at things to do with your child or things to do just for yourself during this horrible lockdown period, why not sit down and enjoy some time out with a jigsaw. Did you know that piecing jigsaw puzzles are a great tool for mindfulness? By focusing on placing the pieces together, it helps to shut out day-to-day stresses and worries. Not only that, but regularly participating in mindfulness can also have long term benefits.

Post Puppy Dog Pals Twitter Party

Did you join in the fun-filled Puppy Dog Pals Twitter Party yesterday with ukmumstv? We had so much fun doing all the activities and of course, playing with the Puppy Dog Pals toys!

Puppy Dog Pals is an American computer-animated children’s television series which debuted on Disney Junior and Disney Channel. It is about the fun-loving puppy brothers Bingo and Rolly as they go on adventures throughout their neighbourhood and around the world as a way to help quench their thrill-seeking appetites about friendship, problem-solving and collaboration. The pups’ motto is life is always more exciting with your best friends by your side.

Puppy In My Pocket

Puppy In My Pocket have been around since the 90’s and have been a favourite of girls for many years. Now they are making a comeback which will see it return to its collectable best.  There are more than 100 miniature Puppies to collect, including ultra-rare glitter puppies. These soft flocked characters each has its own name and unique bio based upon realistic dog breeds.

Ms C was thrilled when she received the Puppy Play Park playset, Clip on Pouch and a few blind packs from Series 1. She couldn’t wait to play with them!

Happy Birthday to Opel

Opel is my family dog who has been with us for nine years. He might be loud (seriously, he loves to bark) but he is a very huggable mutt. When I first met him, he was very mischievous and he is just the same even now. He used to love to chew cables, shoes and furniture much like any other puppy though he has calmed down a bit. He loves to steal food, especially food that is within easy reach. Even food placed out of sight is not safe at times as he will find a way! On a number of occasions we have found evidence where he has eaten raw eggs, fish, biscuits etc.
