Pumpkin pancakes topped with kiwi sliced

Got the new blinds up! Hallway finished (for now, the skirting board can wait till another time)

Had a close call in B&Q while looking at lights 😅 Glanced at Miray (our B&Q is dog friendly) who as assuming the position to push out a turd 😱 Practically slapped that tail floof down to close the poop hatch, picked her up and quickly carried her to length of store to get her outside in time!!

Got Barclay's rosettes up again! Stairwell is looking nice, still got a few more things to hang up

Get that cake in your god damn cake hole!!! I sat for 20 minutes in the cold garden while she nibbled it away... She needs to learn to be more Labrador

Happy 1st Birthday Miray!! ❤️🎂

Starting to get the dog photos up!

Hallway looking very tigery now! Still need to fit new blinds & paint window ledge

She getting big!

Hallway walls finished, just waiting for the grey to full dry before removing tape. Then to start on window alcove & hang up my art 😊

This little scumbag has learnt how to get out her crate... It's not just a one off either. She can do it very quietly without causing a fuss too. She WAS in the crate while I did the vacuuming, then all of a sudden shes just there... Dammit dog.

2nd coat of paint finished! Feels good to be making progress on this 😊

Finished up 1st coat of magnolia this morning Just about to start 2nd coat 😁 Looking forward to getting everything hung back up on the walls but need to paint the short overhang wall which will be light grey. Looking at getting that finished on Tuesday!

Riding the miniature railway with my good boi 😊❤️ Been lovely having some quality 1to1 time with him.

Had a lovely time meeting up with Axle & Loki for some quality time with my good boi. After our walk & refuel at the pub, we parted ways with our friends and stopped by a miniature railway for a ride around the park which Barcs loved 😍

These creme egg oreos taste.. ... Eggy... I approve but regular creme eggs are better

Wanting a quiet day in house to get on top of decorating etc. So we having brekkie in a cafe and people watching since weather is horrid She's getting better at settling down by my feet now

Finally got 2 coats of white on! Still need to do into the corners & window alcove before can do the colour coat but feeling better to have made some progress at least!

Raising a puppy is quite draining. Been trying to get on top of repainting the stair well but after walking pup, she's drained most of my energy for the day 😅 But managed to get the ceiling taped up yesterday so progressing on the first coats of white today finally!

Doing our weekly cafe trip. Seeing how long I can make a cup of tea last while letting Miray just watch everyone. Got some babies next to us, and their rattly toys have Miray intrigued, and the random baby squeals/gurgles they make 😂

Busy day at Manchester championship show! Miray was very happy to see her mummy Alara again. We managed to get 2 x 1st place awards, 2 Special Begginer s (just only 1 one rosette was given) and Best Anatolian puppy. She did super well even when she was really sleepy by the end of the day 😊

Miray isn't allowed on the sofa... So she's developed a sideways flop so her paws technically aren't on the sofa, and it's the kinda cute/cheeky boundary pushing that you need to correct but kinda feel bad for too 😂 Barcs just adapts and uses her as a pillow.

Miray trying her best to get Barcs to interact with her 😂

Hope this snow storm appears tomorrow night! Would love a snowy morning walk through park on Friday 😊

When the snow zoomies hit so hard your camera can't keep up!

Shredded pork & braised cabbage in rice paper rolls as a crunchy New year's day meal

Puppy decided the curl up in a birds nest....

Also home made duck scotch eggs and the cheese board! 😁

Some of this year's Christmas food creations! Soft boiled emu egg, pigs in duvets (stuffing between sausage & bacon) and a roast goose dinner with trimmings :)

This year's Christmas activity was learning how to tan a raw deer hide! So the garden has been covered in bits of fat, sinue & salt 😂 But a good learning experience! Not finished yet though!

Todays panties!! Miray is feeling fabulous in her new garments 😂

Sporting some leopard print panties for princess Miray 😂

Hope my Christmas guests are exhibitionists, since bathroom door is currently in garden getting painted 😂

48:1 chance currently for winning one of 5 top prizes for a tea party with raccoons!!! Only a fiver for a ticket!

Working on my Lego advent calendar 😁

Raccoons!! They so sweet I love them! If you interested in hanging out with a 15 strong raccoon colony let me know 😁

Got Miray a coat from Big pup stuff to match her collar! Will be a perfect fit once she finishes growing 😁

Please can everyone share this for me? Friend is holding a raffle for a raccoon tea party voucher for her private collection of raccoons to help raise funds for a vet bill. I've been helping build the big outdoor enclosure for these guys 😁 Prize is near glasgow www.facebook.com/share/1H9jSg...

My little gremlin

Miray doing well in the show ring! I really need to do some focus training with her as she is constantly looking about like a nosy girl!

Miray giving me sass for not feeding her treats fast enough while trying to give Barclay hydrotherapy 😂

I don't think I can complete with Vork, but my first attempt at mint chocolate fudge... Just with turquoise colouring as I had no green 🤭

Making ginger snap cookies to smash up to make a base for a pumpkin pie 😊

Enjoying a nice crisp solo walk with Barcs. He can walk a fair bit longer than pup still so nice to have some independent walks for him to enjoy things at his pace

Made some sticky toffee pumpkin pudding! Just forgot to photo them before sealing them for freezer. And I ate my portion before remembering to take a photo 🤣

Trying one our new Christmas jumper! It just about fits, might outgrow it by Christmas. Or eaten it..... Having a Christmas photoshoot on Tuesday 😍

Went out in the downpour to do some training. Finished off at Costa to people watch and Miray got a free pup cup ❤️

Did a baked toasted-biscuit cookie pumpkin pie Vs a no bake toasted biscuit base pumpkin pie. No bake version definitely won and half of it might of vanished far too quickly 😅
