Friends! Remember I talked in my Blog about saving money by giving us makeshift toys instead of buying them? Mum put it to the test with Percy and Cleo: Mr Spider or Scrunched-Up Paper Bag? Guess what was more popular? Meanwhile, Baby Dog doesn’t need a toy either… not when there’s a Shoe around!

Friends! BRACE YOURSELVES! Suddenly yesterday late afternoon, out of the blue, the Ice Cream Man made a return! 🍦 Baby dog heard the music, and couldn’t quite believe his ears! He didn’t know whether to sing along, or whether to look at Mum in astonishment! This must mean Spring is definitely here!

Friends! Guess what? It’s #NationalPuppyDay so we thought we’d remind you of what Baby Dog was like at 3 months old, desperately trying to get my attention. Look how patient I was with him. I was learning - developing ideas of how to play with him. Our Special Relationship had begun ❤️

Chums! Baby Dog here. Thank you for all the lovely kind messages about Malcy’s ‘Adventure’ yesterday. I was upset by the whole thing. Afterwards, I had some relaxing time in the garden to calm down. If you need some calm, here’s a couple of minutes of ‘Eric’s Eyelashes and Birdsong’ to help 💚

Friends! It’s the #SpringEquinox today! ☀️ Mum has started the Spring Gardening. The cut grass smelled lovely. I went out to patrol my old territory. Before my Accident, I used to spend all my time out the front, watching the Goings-On. Just like Old Times, Ralphy joined me, which was lovely!

Friends! At 5am in our house, all you can hear is Noshing Noises. Only Mum and us Cats are awake. The Noshing Noises are LOUD because there’s 4 of us. Also, the Triplets tend to bite their dishes (I have no idea what that’s about). Percy and I clean out each other’s dishes when we’ve finished! 🤎🧡

Friends! ☀️ Sun Puddles are definitely back and they do lift the spirits! ☀️ Baby Dog and Ron were having a FABULOUS time on the Big Bed yesterday afternoon. You know, they are such Silly Sausages. They can go on like this for hours!

Friends! It’s #StPatricksDay and so I’m feeling the luck of the Irish today. Maybe I’ll have a pint of Guinness to celebrate! Mum is off out very early to take the Teenage One out. She’s being filmed in a dance video today! So this morning has to be a quick post. Good luck Teenage One 🍀

Friends! It’s #mothersday here in the UK and we are sending love to all Mums 🌺 We are sharing a Throwback video this morning, to when Baby Dog and I became Surrogate Mums to 3 tiny kittens! It turned our world upside down, but we knew we had to look after them to the best of our ability, and we did

Friends! It’s #Caturday and there is Joy is discovering a new little soft bag of Cat Toys that Mum has placed at the bottom of the bookcase. Hours of fun ahead today! Have a wonderful day, special friends ❤️❤️

Friends! It’s #Friday13th but no need to worry. Let’s have a peaceful, calm day after yesterday’s Shenanigans. Listen to Cleo - she is still self-soothing like she has done since she was a tiny kitten. She makes such a loud noise, you can hear her in the next room! 🧡🤎 #cats

Friends! Ron is being a very Playful Boy this morning! He found a Fish and is thoroughly enjoying himself. I thought it might make you happy to watch him 😸#cats

Friends! When I’m having a Snooze that involves lots of Dreaming, I prefer to have Baby Dog by my side. He’s comforting, and he knows how to soothe me if my Dreams are a bit ‘lively’. There’s no one quite like my Baby Dog. I love him ❤️

Friends! It’s good to repurpose things. Mum has moved our old Shoe Rack into the Catio, to be a Viewing Platform for the Triplets. They love it! Even though the weather wasn’t great, they spent a lot of the day yesterday trying it out. It gives a good view of the Garden and has two levels! 😸😸😸

Excuse me! It’s Percy here. I think sometimes, I should be allowed to sit at the Top of our Cat Tree, but Cleo thinks she is Queen of the Castle 🏰 She won’t let me have a turn! What should I do, friends? My tactics aren’t working 🙀 #Cats

Friends! I know you are all waiting to see what Baby Dog looks like after his Groom. But it’s #Caturday so first, I’m going to show you how I waited for him to come home last night. I tried to distract myself with a Mouse, but I was worrying a bit about him, and kept looking at the door 🩶

Friends! Thank you for all the World Book Day fun yesterday! Today we are back to Serious Business because Baby Dog is going for his GROOM! Ron seems to know, because he’s currently having a cuddle with Baby Dog’s Floof, like he’s saying goodbye to it! 🧡

Friends! It’s #WorldBookDay and we are going to have a day of sharing our Favourite Children’s Books and having lots of fun. Reading is SO important and we want to celebrate it. We’ll share photos throughout the day. Do you know who I am to start with? 😸 📚

Friends! I think Baby Dog has some sort of Spring Fever! He’s giving Hamish and Banana-Arnold a hard time, and the Sofa Cushions are also suffering. He has his Groom in a couple of days and it can’t come soon enough. I’m hoping it will calm him down!

Chums! Baby Dog here. I’m SHOCKED! Ron and I were having a great game of #StairWars but then he CHEATED! He used the Secret Underneath Space! That’s not in the Rules! I need a Referee! Is there a Ref out there that can help me please?

Friends! Ron was being a bit naughty, doing his ‘I can knock things off shelves’ trick that he loves so much. Baby Dog decided that wrestling Ron would teach him a lesson. Sadly for Baby Dog, the New Sofa, with its Secret Underneath Space, is now Ron’s greatest weapon! 😹

Friends! Today is #StDavidsDay and a good day to celebrate #daffodils 💛 Ours are just starting to bloom. They match my eyes! Spring is springing! 💛 #SpringWatch

Friends! Here’s Percy, Baby Dog and Cleo trying out the New Armchair for size. It’s big enough to share, which is good, and it’s raining outside, so a Saturday Afternoon in front of the tele is called for ❤️ #catsanddogs

Friends! PREPARE YOURSELVES! I am about to show you how I deal with Disagreements. Ron took over my New Bed, and didn’t want to get out, even when I asked him nicely. Watch how I handled it. #Caturday If you see this video today, please give us a share. Thank you! ❤️

Chums! Baby Dog here. I found a lovely Daffodil. All by itself in the woods. I thought it might be lonely so I kept it company for a while. It seemed happy to see me 💛💛 #dogs #SpringWatch

Friends! Baby Dog is trying to persuade anyone who will listen that he doesn’t need to go to be Groomed. Percy does a good job of not listening to him here. Baby Dog isn’t fooling anyone - look how much his long fur is irritating him! (The Groom has been booked… shhhh! Don’t tell him!)

Chums! Baby Dog here. Where did the nice weather go? I got all muddy again today. This is not helping to persuade Mum that I don’t need to go to the Groomers. Look at the state of me! #dogs

Friends! We had Glorious Sunshine yesterday and so Mum let us spend some time in the Front Garden to continue our #SpringWatch. Ralphy joined us for a bit, which was nice. The grass is long, lush and green. Yummy! But the best thing is that our Cherry Blossom is out and the Daffodils are waking up!

Friends! With the new furniture installed, we now have a dedicated Cat Corner and a proper place to use our beautiful Quilt. Baby Dog is REALLY struggling with the fact that he’s not a Cat though, and therefore cannot fit into the Cat Corner. It’s a shame really, so Ron stays downstairs to play! ❤️

Chums! Baby Dog here. HUGE EXCITEMENT! Yesterday, Mum and I heard a Woody Woodpecker! He was drumming away on a tree near us and I was AMAZED. We tried to capture it for you as part of our #SpringWatch Also, I look SCRUFFY here, but only because it’s WINDY and NOT because I need a groom! #dogs

Friends! The New Sofa has become the Focal Point of the Triplets’ Playtime. Favourite features are the Curved Arms, and the Hidey Place underneath. Here, you see Ron playing a game of Football with the New Sofa. Ron Vs Sofa. Who will win? (P.s. Mum left Percy’s blooper in for you to see 😹)

Chums! Baby Dog here. I went to Trixie’s house yesterday. We had a lovely, but very muddy, walk together. Trixie’s Mum had to shower us afterwards and wanted us to share the towel to dry off. Unfortunately, I wasn’t very good at sharing, which was rather rude of me. I think Trixie was a bit shocked!

Friends! I almost forgot to tell you that I (finally) tried out the Cat Tree. Cleo thought I needed supervision (which I didn’t). My verdict? I’m not massively impressed. I think I’ll leave it to the Triplets to enjoy in future. But turn up your sound to watch this and enjoy your #Caturday 🩶

Friends! We haven’t shared a #ThrowbackThursday video for AGES, and with all the New Sofa Shenanigans going on, it seems a good time to remember that, from Day One, Baby Dog taught the Triplets everything they know about Sofa Shenanigans. This is from their first week with us 🤎🧡🤎

Friends! It’s Supper Time! Yum yum 🤎🧡🤎 #cats

Chums! Baby Dog here. I have picked the Favourite Sofa Spot. It’s here! So I’m not moving. Not. For. Anyone (unless Malcy wants it) ❤️

Friends! I’m afraid to say that the New Sofa has made Percy in particular a bit BONKERS! He is so excited about the ARMS, which are an interesting shape. He keeps GRABBING them. I hope he calms down soon - he’ll wear himself out. Ron, of course, is just thinking, “Alright, Mate! Calm down!”

Chums! Baby Dog here. Malcy has already told you that we have a New Sofa. I am NOT impressed. It smells ALL WRONG! I told Mum I would help her to fix it. It’s very hard work and I know the Triplets haven’t got a clue what I’m doing. But I’m doing it for ALL OF US! #dogs

Friends! Oh joy of joys, the sun is shining today! ☀️ I have left the others to get on with their testing of the New Sofa and found a Sun Puddle on the Big Bed. Heavenly ☀️ #cats

Friends! MAJOR CHANGE ALERT! Mum has a Bad Back, so Dad did a kind but drastic thing and went to Ikea for a new Sofa and Chair that have more support (our old ones were VERY old). The Favourite Sofa Spot has GONE!!!!! 🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀 I was the first to check out the New Sofa. Followed by the Triplets!

Friends! Mum has finished her second Winter Jigsaw. Percy monitored her progress all the way through! He’s a real Jigsaw Fan! 🧩

Excuse me! It’s Cleo here. I didn’t want to wear a Valentine outfit yesterday. I wanted to dress up as a Slytherin from Harry Potter. I think the robe suits me! Plus… I’m just a little bit ✨magic✨ #cats

Friends! Thank you so much for all the Valentine’s Love you gave us yesterday ❤️ As promised, Ralphy came over to share a meal with me - just me - because he’s more relaxed that way. We had a lovely companionable time ❤️ Many of you asked what Cleo was up to. We’ll share with you later! ❤️

Excuse me! It’s Ron here. Percy is getting lots of lovely comments about his Valentine’s outfit. But what about me? ❤️❤️❤️

Friends! Happy Valentine’s Day! ❤️ Baby Dog has dressed up in his best tux and will be serving the Pawsecco, but he has to wait until later in the week to see Trixie. We’ve invited Ralphy round later for a bite to eat. Have a wonderful day, Special Friends. We love you all! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Chums! Baby Dog here. Mum has just told me that it’s Valentine’s Day tomorrow and I haven’t even got Trixie a card! Oh dear. I am going to be in the Doghouse! ❤️ #dogs

Friends! It’s my Lucky Day! Once in a Blue Moon 🔵 Mum lets me lick the leftovers in a yoghurt pot, if it’s not a sugary one. Accompanied by the Teenage One singing, it’s absolute Heaven for me! The ultimate treat. Anyone else? #cats

Friends! It’s STILL raining here ☔️ We have some bright yellow roses to enjoy until the sun returns. I hope this photo brightens your day a little 💛💛💛 #cats

Friends! As you know, Mum trains all of us to be Media Savvy and Percy is doing particularly well. Here he is actually performing for the camera. It’s quite something! He’s a Very Clever Boy! p.s. you can see why any human sits on the sofa in this house at their peril! #cats

Friends! We have a new member of the Family. We have named him Stretch Armstrong because he’s very very long. Mum keeps putting him by the Front Door - she says it’s his job to keep draughts out - but Baby Dog keeps carrying him into the living room so Mum has wasted her time there!
