Monty and his girlfriend Olive!

Loves young dream! #SilverLab #MontyMondays #BlackLab

Keep smiling! #SilverLab

Always pleased with himself when he finds a good stick! #SilverLab

Labs love water!

Lovely bit of Spring content, never seen so many people put their dogs on leads so quickly!

Monty’s face and body position when someone gets the scratches just right!

Find someone that looks at you like Monty looks at peanut butter sandwiches #SilverLab

It’s a hard life being a pub dog but somehow Monty manages it!

10 years ago today met the best dog there ever was! Miss you every day big fella ❤️

Monty very much enjoyed his roadtrip to Norfolk!

Not my usual sort of read at all but absolutely marvellous! Devoured in 2 days and will be looking for the back catalogue!

Bloody marvellous read! It’s not often you come across a really new variation of the tortured detective theme but @whusseyauthor.bsky.social really achieves it with the fantastic Scott Jericho a gay fairground traveller and disgraced ex CID officer who struggles with his demons. Great stuff!

Morning walks, the local dogs know who has the best treats!

What a present 🤣🤣

This boy loves a frosty morning!

Monty and his new silver buddy Cosmo!

The 3 wise men!

Be like Monty and be sure to take a few mins to yourself when needed!

Monty’s first ever pup cup!

Drive up north on Weds back to London today, I do miss @therealnihal.bsky.social on long drives, nothing against the new guy but Nihal brought something different to his slot as opposed to pretty much 6 hours politics! The variety of guests Nihal had meant you always felt you’d learned something!

Monty’s week so far

I struggle to find the description of “found footage” books and if I’m honest I find them annoying….. Unless they’re written by @janicehallett.bsky.social every single story is amazing, they’re crafted beautifully and there’s always 1 more twist than you thought! Monty thinks good enough to eat!

“Why don’t you stick to acting?” It’s a taunt I often have hurled at me. I am a gay man in America whose marriage is under threat. The last time Trump was in office, hate crimes against AAPIs skyrocketed. I care deeply about this country and the future of our democracy. I’ll stick to activism.

If you only watch 1 major TV series this December then make sure it’s “Day of the Jackal” Television at its highest art form, beautifully written, directed and acted

How have I never read anything by @dominicnolan.bsky.social before, Vine Street is an absolute masterpiece (which I ordered having seen the acclaim for White City, also in the TBR pile) will be searching the rest of the back catalogue as well!

Max & Montys 9th annual Dog Xmas jumper competition is back at The Windmill Clapham on Sun 15th Dec at 11am! Bring your festively adorned pup to help raise money for Battersea Dogs home and every pup wins a prize!

Two marvellous performances in a week by the mighty reds against supposedly the 2 best of the best

This boy getting spoiled rotten by out hotel guests #SilverLab

One of the things I love about my job is that every year we donate a Christmas Day table to a family that deserves it, this will be our 9th year of doing it! Working with great small charity called Something To Look Forward To who provide experiences like this for people suffering with cancer 1/2

As I have somehow surpassed 7k followers on here I thought it might be nice to do a giveaway: All 7 of my books to one lovely winner. Just share and like to be in with a chance! 😁📚

From 2016, seems to resonate still though…..

Monty had a hot date at the bar tonight with the beautiful Olive! She may be more interested (in biscuits) than him, who knows?

As always nothing but perfection from @jconnollybooks.bsky.social Abelman’s Line my personal favourite of the short stories

Frosty wrestles with one of his besties, the beautiful Winnie! #SilverLab #DogsofBlueSky

Frosty morning walks with my boy!

This has been sat on the TBR pile for far too long, definitely picked up from a Twitter recommendation so thanks to the probably more than 1 who steered me this way, brilliant gripping read, already looking forward to the next one! @whusseyauthor.bsky.social

Drink Responsibly: Don’t Spill Any…🍸 #bakewelltart #cocktailphotography

We decided to hose a Xmas dog photo shoot at The Windmill Clapham this week, all for charity and the results were epic! £700 raised for Dogs For Good, amazing work by Monica our Assistant Manager and amazing photographer!

So I had about 8000 followers on Twitter, it was hard to let that go! 3 months ago I wondered if I should leave but was convinced to stay, we need to fight the good fight after all… So it turns out we lost the good fight but that means I took the step to delete Twitter today, no more appeasing!

I think my dog is broken, at least half his body length is in that tongue!

#DogsInAntlers should be a thing over here as well right @theauthorguy.bsky.social ?

Great read, very much enjoying the Goldsboro books crime collective, basically a 12 month subscription with a different signed first edition new release each month, A Reluctant Spy by @davegoodman.bsky.social was the first and also excellent! Looking forward to the next one

This boy is hosting another charity photo shoot at The Windmill Clapham this Sunday, Santa Paws is coming to town!
