Dave: It was a lovely day for a walk by the river with some pointy pals, followed by a visit to a pub. I made lots of new friends, no small dogs were menaced and I discovered that pubs sell high quality snacks. Who knew?! Everyone said I was a very good boy. 😊

Wishing everyone a very happy, healthy and peaceful 2026. Our wish for 2026 is that all the hounds waiting for their furevers find loving homes very soon. Happy New Year!

Merry Crispmouse! What a day! Saffy unwrapped all the presents...

Saffy: Today we had 5 minutes of sunshine and then rain nearly all day. ☹️ We dodged the rain for long enough to have some off lead shenanigans at an enclosed field. Dave exhausted himself. He's so tired, he's scoffed his dinner and then collapsed. You've heard of bed fail, well this is sofa fail. 😁

Dave: Happy birthday to me! I am 6 years old today. When I see a pheasant I get wildly excited, so I've had a pheasant themed birthday. I got a honking pheasant toy, a raw pheasant birthday tea and a pheasant and wild boar sausage dessert. Best day ever!

Dave: Today I went on a pointy walk and I was "Very good boy Dave!". 😊 I'm now waiting for a roast lamb dinner. 😋 Saffy: It was a Christmas walk. Where was our Christmas attire?! 🤨 Dave: I don't think mum's ready for Christmas. She probably isn't ready for today. Just be grateful we're getting fed.

Saffy: Happy #flapsoutfriday to all who observe. I'm counting down to Crispmouse - the most wonderful time of the year, allegedly. Poor mum is very confused by her gin advent calendar. Apparently it's 13th December already. 😂

Scammer: Make a bitcoin payment immediately or I will share your album with your contacts and destroy your life. Me: Meh. 🤷‍♀️😂

Saffy: It was a festival of squirrels on the common today. The blighters were everywhere! Unfortunately there's no chance of sneaking up on them when you're with a big idiot who yelps like a demented poodle every time he spots one. 🙄

Mum: I've booked a new enclosed dog field. It has a grassy meadow to run in and forest trails to explore. How lovely! 😊 Us: We've forgotten how to greyhound. We're swamp dogs now. We're just gonna spend the whole hour doing this. 🤣🤣🤣

Saffy: Two years ago today mum signed my adoption papers and I reluctantly accepted that I was here for good. However, whilst I may live with peasants I firmly believe that I am not one by birth. Somewhere out there a royal family is searching for their missing princess. 😢

Dave: What a wonderful day for late afternoon blighter spotting! I had my excited ears on! 😃 Saffy: We were forced to walk for miles. It was grim. Dave spotted a rabbit and lost his tiny mind. 🙄

Saffy: Lazy Sunday sunpuddle snoozing with Mr Cuddlepillar. Bliss! 🌞

Happy #FlapsOutFriday! Apparently it's been a heck of a week. Mum is now unemployed/retired. She's celebrating the fact that she'll now be able to start drinking at lunchtime! We're hoping she'll pull herself together, work out what her skill-set is, and do some kibble earning before we all starve!

Mum is wondering where the years went. Teenage Manchild (AKA Short One) needs a new name, because today is his 20th birthday. His teens have officially expired. Happy birthday! We love you. ❤️

Saffy: Today on Holidays from Hell, two greyhounds were crammed into a wooden box being dragged by a fire breathing death monster. They ended the day by being forced to go for a walk on a beach. Horrible. Dave: Oh my dog! My first ever train ride. Woo hoo! I loved it! Yay! Beach! Best day ever!

Saffy: Another day of so called holiday adventures. Meh. 😕 Dave: Another day of totally awesome holiday adventures! I hope it never ends! 😁

Saffy: I found a thing! I was so fascinated by it that I completely forgot I don't do paddling. 😁

Saffy: Today we went for a very long walk at a place called a nature reserve. It was grim, more bootcamp than holibobs. ☹️ Dave: It was awesome! I loved every minute. 😊

What a day! Holidays are exhausting! We started the day with a long walk around a battlefield. There were sheep, but eating sheep poo was a hard no. Pfft! Then we visited some old ruins. Sooo boring! We ended the day at a beach. It was beautiful, just like us. 😊

Saffy: Lazy Sunday, but no peace. The big idiot is loving the view from the upstairs lounge window. He's on watch for passing dogs and yelps with excitement every time he sees one. 🙄

Dave: Holidays are awesome! I was made for beach life! 😊

Bedtime walkies on a huge beach! Dave's tiny mind is blown! 😂

Road trip! Woo hoo! Only another five hours to go. 😒

Saffy: It's my birthday! I'm 5 years old. I got a fabulous present and I'm having lamb and peas for tea, with sausage embellishments. 😊 Hang on! Why is there no cake? Dave: Ah, well... I think mum forgot about safe storage being required for birthday cakes. It was delicious! 😋 Happy birthday! 🤣🤣🤣

Dave: Winner winner chicken dinner! It has been a wonderful day of adventures and fabulous food. I'm full, exhausted and so so happy. Saffy: Meh. It's been an okay kind of day.

Dave: I feel like the king of the world. We found a new enclosed dog field. It's huge! So much space to zoom. What fun! 😊 Somewhere, way off in in the distance behind me, the Princess of Darkness is busy hunting. While I run and run, she's permanently in stealth mode - or just plain lazy!

Dave: I'm on the big bed, waiting for snuggles. I've had a long walk, and a wonderful dinner of rabbit and kibble, with liver brownies for pudding. Life is good! 😊 Saffy: You're easily pleased - because you have a very small brain. 🤭 Service has been acceptable today, but not exactly five star. 🙄

Dave: I'm feeling fed up. There are so many rules and none of them make sense. Today I got a special thing. I had to scarf it down as quickly as possible, before it was confiscated. This was, "Arrgh! NO! 🤢 VERY BAD DOG!". Apparently, catching and eating baby pigeons is against the rules. Who knew? 😕

Heatwave tips for greyhounds: Dave - have a long snooze in a darkened room, with a fan cooling your bottom. 😊 Saffy- lie on the brown lawn in the baking heat, frying your brain until they force you to move. Resist the application of the damp tea towel of misery. Whine to go outside again. 😂🌞

Today Dave is "Big idiot Dave!", not "Good boy Dave". Yesterday he ran into the back of mum's legs and felled her. She hurt a knee, an arm and an ankle. Then, as she was trying to get up, she got stung by a bee! Her bruised knee is very swollen and she's struggling to walk. Excellent work Dave! 🤣

Ugh! It's a no walkies, shady room, fan to maximum, cool coat kind of day. We are very fed up! ☹️

Saffy literally straining at the leash waiting for the pointy walk to start. Dave being "Good boy Dave!". Dogs reacted to - 0. Shih Tzus eaten - 0. So proud of him. Although we suspect his one brain cell is part of a timeshare arrangement so he'll probably be back to his usual idiot self tomorrow. 😂

Hello! 🐾🐾 It's me, Dave. Today is my first gotcha day. What a year I've had. I've learnt about birthdays, Christmas, big beds, sofas, knitwear, baths (not recommended), roast dinners (definitely recommended) and so much more. Mum says that there are many more adventures ahead. I love my life! ❤️

Today is the saddest of days. Sketch passed away this morning. We are grateful that he went peacefully in his sleep at home, with mum telling him how much he was loved. He was only with us a short time but he brought us so much love and joy. Run fast and free lovely lad. Our hearts are broken. 💔

Saffy: Is this the face of a greyhound who wants to share a sofa? Nope.

Sketch: I'm just an old man enjoying his retirement. My needs are few. A full tummy, a spot of sunbathing, knowing I'm loved and I'm happy. 😊

Saffy: Today I chose to mostly do sunbathing. Dave didn't choose to have a spa day, but he got a bath anyway. 😂 The stinky interloper chose to mostly eat chicken feet and snooze on the sofa. Then we all had a doggy ice cream. #LazySunday

Current mood: Two happy hounds, one not so happy hound!

Yes, I am very comfortable. Thank you for asking.

That moment when the sun lands on the sofa. 😊 Happy sun puddle Saturday everyone!

We'd like to share a track from our new album. It's called, "She has gone forever and our hearts are broken, or she might be in the bathroom". Sound up and enjoy!

Saffy: Happy #FlapsOutFriday! Apparently it's been a heck of a week. I'm oblivious to this because normal service has been maintained, so it's all good. Have a fabby weekend my friends. ❤️

Dave: We literally stopped traffic today. A man stopped his car just to say hello to us. He said I was incredibly handsome and he wished he could take me home with him. 😊 Saffy: Yeah, mum missed a trick there. Stupid woman. 😁

Saffy: It was a cold, dark and miserable sort of day, so we went to the big enclosed field for zoomies. Woo hoo! The stinky interloper couldn't keep up. 😁 Dave: Yes, but his recall is perfect. That's why he got a million treats and you got none!

Sketch's masterclass. Part 1: Acquire the corn chip tube. Remove the lid. Attempt to eat the contents before a hoo confiscates it. Dave: Woah! You can do magic!

Dave: Snow! 😃 I love Snow!

Saffy: Happy #FlapsOutFriday! The first Friday flap of 2025 and I've chosen to do it next to the radiator because it's blummin freezing today. Stay warm pals! ❤️

In 2024 we lost handsome Jack to cancer - we miss him every day. We adopted Dave - he's bonkers. We fostered Sketch - he's here for good. Mum's new year's resolution is no more dogs! Our wish for 2025 is that all the hounds waiting for homes find wonderful furever families. Happy New Year! ❤️

Dave: I have had the most wonderful Crispmouse. My first ever, because this time last year I was still in racing kennels. Everyone else is all crispmoused out, but I wish it could be Crispmouse every day! 😊
