I bought Vickie Kingdom Deliverance to play on PS5 while I was away at the fitba this afternoon. As you can see, it is not going well.

Full house!

Vickie managed to get a photo of the whole family, sat to attention and looking forward at the same time, with the spaniel centre of attention.

Mr bayLee had his first real backward step yesterday since starting at Canine Health & Hydrotherapy a year ago. A good massage and some loxicom, and he seems more mobile and himself today.

Cocker spaniel puppy lay in a bookshelf.

I'm in trouble... our puppy Ruairidh is now answering to the name Zaroury - and wagging happily away to the heartbeat song.

Lots of cuteness in the office today. Here's Mr Leo sitting with Rocco's frog, stolen from Ruairidh.

A photo of Mustang, a big black jet pointer, enjoying some sunshine over his final days.

We lost Mustang tonight. Almost 14, the heart murmur he was born with finally caught up. It shouldn't have been a shock, but was as he seemed to be improving. Rest now big fella, your shift is over, play with Steve and Rocco β€οΈπŸ’”πŸŒˆ

Here is one of Mr Mustang and me from his walk to the marina this evening.

He is starting to struggle now, but he still loves his walks, and foraging for πŸ¦†πŸ’©

Little Ruairidh went to see his mum today.... here's Muffin, so hope he develops the highlights.

Cocker spaniel puppy pretending to be still while on camera.

Ruairidh is growing up to be a very handsome little man. He want to test if my micro formats tweaks has improved my bridgy federation.

Picture of a ginger dog with white snout asleep in the corner of a sofa.

Last post for tonight, Stevie on his gotcha day, 4 years ago today.

Hard to believe how (full sofa) big and strong this ginger goofball became, not least given that he was supposed to be 2 in this photo.

Picture of a black pointer in a group hug on the floor with his human, and his purple rubber dinosaur.

This photo, 13 years old today, is still my favourite picture of Mr. Mustang. He's really aging now - but is just as cuddly.

Photograph of labrador podenco cross curled up in a small dogs bed on top of a training crate.

It should have been reasonably foreseeable in that putting a small dogbed on top of the puppy's training crate, that the biggest one in the pack would claim it.

Podenco Ibicenco lay one all fours, waiting patiently on a gravel car park.

Here is Mr bayLee, being a good boy before his swim session at Canine Health & Hydro, Rimington.

Cocker spaniel puppy lay against a curtain, looking guilty.

Ruairidh, the little monster, thinks jumping in the water bowl and scooping the water out backwards is acceptable behaviour. On a conference call. Four times. Crazy Spaniel.

Podenco Ibicenco sat with paws overhanging the edge of the sofa, and ears raised partially, but not at full alert

BayLee "the favourite" is daily dog today. His weight and conditioning have improved as we have resolved his underactive thyroid, he now raises his ears most of the time again - but he looks older for it. I don't have favourites, but if I did...

A small podenco and cocker spaniel puppy curled up together at the end of a sofa

Mr Leo accepting that the wee haggis Ruairidh is going to sit on him, impressive given Leo's predominantly solitary philosophy on space.

πŸͺ΄An hour at the allotment turned into 2 when I realised the bed I wanted to put my fruit bushes into was already full of, erm, fruit bushes. Potted on rather than waste - Princess Caoimhe on sentry on the potatoes throughout.

Old black pointer walks with me dressed in claret shoes, jeans, and a grey jacket, with a caravan covered in algae beyond

Really like this photo of me and Moo. I'd just turned back from my trip to Watford as he was ill, so picked him up and took him for a walk.

Old black pointer curled up on a soft dog bed, with a chocolate cocker spaniel puppy curled up with him.

I didn't make it to Watford today, I had to return home as Mustang was unwell. Here he is with Ruairidh a week ago. He's not long left now, but he still seems to be happy.

Picture of a Podenco Ibicenco sniffing at his new cocker spaniel puppy companion.

Not sure where the month went, but Ruairidh arrived today, and bayLee adores him! Looking forward to the calmness a working cocker introduces to our pack.
