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 😅

Made same goose & cranberry sausage rolls. Super tasty!

Lowest weight yet at 11st 1 😁 Hoping to get (and stay) comfortably sub 11st throughout Dec & Jan with long term aim of achieving 10st

Raccoon enclosure 99.9% finished so I got to follow Ashka around while she explored. I also had grapes which she loved! 😍

Up in Scotland Alara (Standing dog, is Miray's mum) looks very disappointed in her daughter! Sent into the world as a show bred Anatolian, comes back looking like a dirty feral street dog 😂😂 I'm sorry Alara, I am a bad influence on your puppy😅

All snuggled up while we ate endless cake in an amazing dairy free, gluten free cafe! 🥰

Carpet tube makes a great toy!

Craft room finished!

We are now a dragon guardian! Dragons are livestock, right?

While I was doing work on laptop, Barclay likes to lie close to me, and Miray decided to snuggle into him and join us too.

Showing love as an asexual, without using intimacy can be tricky at times. So my love language is buying strange fruit/vegetables for Magos.🥰 I gave him... The Tromboncino At least this gift doesn't have cyanide in it 😁

We went up Abraham heights in Matlock Bath! Very dog friendly. Miray did well on the cable car, found a fake donkey slightly scary so we stood and petted it for 5 minutes while she worked through her fear. Then went around a wombles exhibition followed by an aquarium visit!

Someone was very very sleepy during their first ride on a steam train !

Snoozing time

Another puppy class after missing a few due to shows! We even got a 'compliment' for once! 'It looks like she's doing better today, she's not completely ignoring you'

We found a robot lawn mower on our morning walk, Barclay was intrigued, Miray lost her shit 😂 After standing there and letting it do a few drive bys, she realised it wasn't a threat and there's no need to bark at it 🤭

Miray having a nice relaxing hydro session 😁 Hydro is really good for growing puppies, especially giant breed ones!!

Incidentally the world is on fire. So. If you want to support me continuing to make these masks you can find these fine patterns for $6-9 here on my website: www.paleopanthera.com/masks It beats donating on ko-fi because you get a cool thing! #art #mask #animal #cardboard #halloween #costume

We came 5th out of a mixed breed class of 17 other dogs!! Really good achievement for a 7month pup too! I need to up my handling game, and Miray needs to be less excitable in the Ring but she's still very much a puppy :)

Barclay telling Miray in very clear terms. This. Is. MY. Camping. Chair!!!

More pub training 😄 She's getting good at just sleeping in beer gardens, hopefully she will be just as good at sleeping inside pubs when the weather starts to turn

For Miao Aef 🌘

#doggust 30: coton de tulear All these fluffy dogs in a row have me exhausted 🤣

Miray has had a growth spurt! She is now taller & heavier than Barcs!

#doggust 29: tibetan spaniel

Scary scary teefers

New collar! Her chain was staining her white fur so swapped to a rolled biothane collar instead! This is her casual 'house collar', we use a different collar for walks :) Looking very swish!

More practice in how to behave at pub! We did have a few woofs and grumbles but once laid down she relaxed... Maybe abit too much as with legs splayed wide, she was showing all her 'goods' to the people on the next table!
