The McPups, all ready for the journey home. We had loads of fun in Wales! #dogsofbluesky #adoptdontshop #stenaline #ferry #cymru #wales #cutepets

The McPups on an early morning walk on beautiful Tenby South Beach ❤️ #dogsofbluesky #adoptdontshop #tenby #wales #cymru #rescuedogs

Pippa found a punctured football and insisted on carrying it the whole way back to our holiday cottage. Here she is with her new best buddy, "Wilson". #dogsofbluesky #adoptdontshop #castaway #rescuedogs #tenby #cymru #wales

The McPups are so excited to be on holiday in beautiful Wales! #dogsofbluesky #wales #adoptdontshop #cymru #tenby #pembrokeshire

Pippa McPup hopes you have a smasher of a weekend! #dogsofbluesky #adoptdontshop #rescuedogs #prettygirl #cutepets #weekend

Let's dance! #dogsofbluesky #adoptdontshop #letsdance #rescuedogsireland #cute #doggos

The McPups are LOVING the sunshine! #dogsofbluesky #adoptdontshop #swim #irishsummer #beach

It's playtime! #dogsofbluesky #adoptdontshop #rescuedogs #playtime #cutedogs

"Leggo! That's MY Boris Johnson doll!" Luckily for Boris, he's still intact ... for now ... #dogsofbluesky #adoptdontshop #borisjohnson #rescuedogs #tugofwar

I need an immediate belly-rub, please! #dogsofbluesky #adoptdontshop #bellyrubs #rescuedogs #potcake

Happy National Rescue Dog Day from Pippa and Billy McPup! #nationalrescuedogday #dogsofbluesky #adoptdontshop #ireland

Here comes trouble! #dogsofbluesky #adoptdontshop #rescuedogs #potcake #cutepets

Where is the best place in the house for a girl to practice her yoga moves? Why right in the middle of the gangway between the kitchen and the living room, of course! #dogsofbluesky #rescuedogs #adoptdontshop #yoga #cutepets

A meeting of the Mutual Adoration Society 😍 Happy Monday! #dogsofbluesky #adoptdontshop #rescuedogs #ireland #cutepets #heeler #doggos

Happy Friday, everyone! #dogsofbluesky #adoptdontshop #rescuedogs #ireland #cutepets #weekend

Bonjour, belle fille! To celebrate this week's Cannes film festival, Pippa has taken to posing like a cool '60s French movie star. A Cannes Canine, if you like. #dogsofbluesky #adoptdontshop #cannes #movie #rescuedogs #cutepets

Peek-a-boo! #dogsofbluesky #adoptdontshop #rescuedogsireland #peekaboo #cutepets

Who's a lovely girl then? #dogsofbluesky #adoptdontshop #rescuedogs #ireland #cutepets #heelercross #retrievercross

It's a high-energy start to the week for the two scallywags! #dogsofbluesky #adoptdontshop #rescuedogs #cutepets #dogs

Billy stuck the ball in the back of the net, but then he got stuck there too! Luckily one of his humans was on hand to untangle him (pausing only to laugh and take a photo) and we can now report that he was successfully unnetted. Happy Friday all! #dogsofbluesky #adoptdontshop #rescuedogs #football

Two dog bodies, one head, constant tail wagging, useless at guarding the gate to Hades ... look out, it's anti-Ceberus! #ceberus #dogsofbluesky #adoptdontshop

Just Billy, being his usual happy self today. Doggos really know how to live in the moment 💕 #dogsofbluesky #happy #adoptdontshop #doggos #rescuedogs #ireland

Good day to you! Billy is laser-focused on having tip-top fun this week #goodmorning #dogsofbluesky #adoptdontshop #rescuedogs #ireland

Our humans may not be blessed with the voices of angels, but they always manage to crowbar our names somewhere into a tune, which is what we really love! #dogsofbluesky #adoptdontshop #lullaby #cutepets #bankholiday #maythefourth #sing

Happy May Day everyone! To celebrate, our humans will- like Sargeant Howie in the movie - be keeping their appointment with "The Wicker Man" for the umpteenth time (the original '70s version of course!) #dogsofbluesky #frisbee #mayday #adoptdontshop #thewickerman #ireland #rescuedogs

"... and she said "no way!" and I said "yes way!" and she couldn't BELIEVE it and next thing we knew all the treats were gone." At least I think that's what Billy is saying. #hotgossip #dogsofbluesky #rescuedogs #adoptdontshop #cutepets #beach

Billy loves his humans to sing to him and to sing himself - here he is, belting one out like the diva he is. "When I'm calling yoouuuu ... 🎶🎶" #dogsofbluesky #adoptdontshop #sing #potcake #rescuedogs #ireland

One of my Humans took a very pretty photograph of me today so I've decided that from now on - like Linda Evangelista - I'm not getting out of my bed for less than $10,000 a day (ok then maybe a sausage) #dogsofbluesky #supermodel #adoptdontshop #rescuedogs #cutepets

Good morning! What better way to start the week than having fun on the beach with Billy and his buddy, Fang? #dogsofbluesky #furryfriends #adoptdontshop #blacklab #potcake #rescuedogs #ireland

On the theme of early days ... a very youthful-looking, teddybear-like Pippa back in 2018, when her nose was black ... her face is mostly white now, but she'll always be our puppy princess 💕 #dogsofbluesky #adoptdontshop #heeler #retriever #rescuedogs #ireland

Our Billy, 3 days after we adopted him as a 9-month-old in 2019. He'd had a very difficult start in life, but despite that he was - and is - the happiest, funniest, cleverist little chap! 💕 #dogsofbluesky #adoptdontshop #rescuedogs #potcake

Billy is looming large and looking rather sinister! #dogsofbluesky #potcake #adoptdontshop #rescuedogs #ireland

I could watch Pippa and Billy's antics all day - here they are, channeling Inspector Clouseau and Kato once again. Pippa's bamboozled by his "whizz-over and double-back" ambush technique! 😂 #dogsofbluesky #adoptdontshop #playtime #garden #spring #cutepets #potcake #heeler #mutts

Pippa and Billy wish you the top of the morning! #dogsofbluesky #adoptdontshop #rescuedogs #beach #irekand

Here comes the weekend ... Happy Friday everyone! #dogsofbluesky #rescuedogs #ireland #adoptdontshop #cutepets

Pippa and Billy like to "stick together" at the beach! #dogsofbluesky #adoptdontshop #rescuedogs #beach #ireland

Just a happy little boy going about his business. #dogsofbluesky #potcake #adoptdontshop #rescuedogs #ireland

What on earth could we be staring at with such intensity? A frisbee ? A massive moggie? A giant piece of cheese? Answers on a postcard please #dogsofbluesky #adoptdontshop #rescuedogs #stare #cutepets

What? It's Monday already? You CANNOT be serious! #dogsofbluesky #adoptdontshop #potcake #cutepets #monday #rescuedogs

Pippa loves ball games so much - here she is, fast asleep with the ball still in her mouth. Happy Friday everyone! #dogsofbluesky #playball #adoptdontshop #cutepets #heeler #play #sleep

Billy, not doing a very good job at hiding from Pippa. #dogsofbluesky #adoptdontshop #hideandseek #play #cutepets #rescuedogs #ireland

Spring has definitely sprung for Darling Billy Boy! #dogsofbluesky #rescuedogs #adoptdontshop #spring #springblossom #irishgarden #potcake #cutedogs

Billy looking on anxiously as emergency surgery was carried out today on poor Mr Goosey! I'm happy to report that surgery went well and that Mr Goosey is expected to make a full recovery (thanks to the care of Nurse Billy, of course). #dogsofbluesky #dogtoy #adoptdontshop #rescuedogs

Like Pippa and Billy, we hope you have a very Good Friday and a Happy Easter!🐰🐣 #dogsofbluesky #beach #ireland #adoptdontshop #rescuedogs #happyeaster

Drama on the soccer pitch! #adoptdontshop #dogsofbluesky #football #rescuedogs #ireland

Billy looking uncharacteristically angelic in the long Spring grass #dogsofbluesky #spring #potcake #adoptdontshop #rescuedogsireland

Billy wants in on that stick action! #dogsofbluesky #beach #ireland #adoptdontshop #rescuedogs #potcake

A relaxed start to Easter Week for the McPups zzzzz #dogsofbluesky #rescuedogs #adoptdontshop #sleepy #relax

Like the rest of us, Pippa is absolutely exhausted after a hard week of receiving belly rubs and snuffling around in the garden for "snacks" that a passing crow might have dropped. Happy Friday everyone! #dogsofbluesky #snooze #adoptdontshop #ireland #rescuedogs
