Peaceful woodland carriage ride for the puppy, she was very sleepy. Due to still growing she has restricted walks to prevent joint damage leading to early onset arthritis, so needed to take the stroller so we could be out longer without over exercising her.

Miray had fun in our 8 hours in the woods. I should know splitting the party is always a bad idea especially when it leaves me unattended. I got lost and had to manage puppy & stroller solo, got it over fallen trees and everything!

Miray found the steam train adventure very soothing. In her new adventure harness because her inner demons made her chew through both her harness & a lead in a tantrum so needed a replacement buying

Miray achieved her 1st Best B**ch award! Sadly Best of Breed still escapes us but she is only a scrawny youngun at the moment so it's expected that the adults will win over her ❤️

So proud of Miray! Got reserve best girlie But the bigger achievement was earning our Bronze canine good citizenship award!! (The recall did end with a rugby tackle but technically she came back and I got the lead on her) 😂😅 LGD are NOT obedient dogs, so this is a massive achievement!!

When you visit uncles house and he has the PERFECT window for being a Neighbourhood Watch dog, despite being told off repeatedly for putting paws on the window ledge 😅

When your dog is so long they look AI generated...

Been super busy at work so not posted much lately so here's the gremlin child. And sorted out buying a new vehicle to replace the C4. Hence being so busy doing extra shifts! Can't wait until it's fully kitted out 😁

Also making some barrels!

Mmm Delicious venison pelvis Crunch cronch crunch Gonna have to wipe you down after!

We went to a drone show, Miray was super good and just went to sleep despite screaming kids, loud fairground rides, barking dogs etc all around.

Trying to make some bin covers do they look like barrels for a LARP event... There keeps being production.... Issues....

Miray being super chilled at work waiting for the groomers to stop working & start rubbing her belly 😂

Gradually working on generating some savings to try and buy another vehicle to replace the ex-car And dealing with marketplace shenanigans to try and rustle up funds too

After a busy time at Crufts, the little gremlin has been catching up on sleep for days! But today she was obviously fully charged and being a teenage menace on the lead 😑

Miray's first Crufts and we got 3rd out of the postgrad girlies! So proud of her, she's done really well!

So adding to losing my dog, my car, due to the amount of stress my eczema has gone crazy. So on antibiotics for 4 weeks because skin hasn't been healing due to lack of sleep and high levels of stress. I don't have time to grieve As I have all this stupid car crap to now sort out!

While dealing with saying goodbye to Barks, on our way back from his birthday trip in peaks the car died. 4 hours to get recovered, I didn't get home till midnight, I'd sent Matt & dogs home with Tsumi thankfully. My C4 robbed me of my last evening & morning with my precious boy. So now it's scrap.

We're a little early for St George's day... but it felt like a suitable time to include Barclay slaying the dragon. RIP Barclay, everybody here at LincsFurs will miss you ❤️ 🐲: @zhinrak.bsky.social 📷: @infernalxantin.bsky.social

Farewell my beautiful boy. You gave me 14 amazing years Thank you for everything, and everyone who knows you will always remember you fondly. I shall always be able to find comfort in a double cheeseburger and remember our last moments sharing them together

Barclay's 14th Birthday was yesterday so we did a fun adventure walk, had a nap in the sunshine in a beer garden, then zonked out in the pub in evening! Managed to sneek him several chunks of steak without Miray noticing 🤭

Crazy beach time!

Miray's first visit to the beach! She loved it! Barclay has definitely missed our beach trips and enjoyed himself too 😊

My sweet melty boy after a tricky walk around a muddy field ❤️❤️

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!! ❤️🎂

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 😊
