Looking forward to listening to this - I love her books.

Yes, I think you’re absolutely right. We can rage all we like at the stupid and senseless act, but ultimately that is feeding them as they sit back and hope to hide.

My golden loved corn on the cob. It was many years ago, before we read about the danger. He lived to be 15 and a half and had no health issues apart from leg weakness I his last few months. Enjoy life, don’t worry so much. I mean this kindly, I know people worry a lot about their dogs

No notes.

It’s International Talk Like a Pirate day ! Arrrrr 🏴‍☠️

Cartoon white boxer dog wearing sunglasses and relaxing in a small child’s paddling pool. The pool is being filled with a hose and is overflowing. There’s a suggestion of music in the background. The dog has heard this and identified it as an ice cream van

In this hot weather Winston would like to remind us to Stay Cool, but also keep alert for the ice-cream van …. 🍦

Me too I suspect. However, I am a little distracted by the odd choice of picture over his bed and what looks like a slice of pie under the bedside cabinet. Is there a subtle joke I’m missing ?

Jack Russell terrier covered by a flowery duvet with just his head showing. Giving a slight side eye as if to say, yes, I’m comfy so can you turn off the light please

Well, it’s still fluffing hot here, but Taffy likes to be covered up. Evidently the monsters can’t get him if he keeps his toesies out the way. Night night everyone

i don't mean to come off as rude but we cannot sustain ourselves on outrage and anger forever. i think it's even more important now to post about other things too. even if it gets less engagement. you never know who will find it cool and interesting.

Handsome black caterpillars with small white spots and jaunty punk spikes eating nettle leaves. They are committed fully to the the task and not stopping or pausing

Completely agree. I left the grass and nettles to grow as they wished this year, and was thrilled beyond measure to find these guys. (Peacock butterfly caterpillars, dozens of them)

Just got mine too - a very pleasant surprise !

Four little cartoon sparrows enjoying splashing around in a birdbath

Salish splash - happy sparrow spa day !

❓How do you get Steve Reed the Environment Secretary to listen to your concerns about the private water industry?

❗⚽Meet him on his home turf.⚽❗

Lois is inviting Steve Reed to the football - fat cat water bosses can do it, so why shouldn't she?

I love your writing and have several of your books. We have a very good company called Rossiter books who have a few shops - I’ve forwarded the link with a personal message

Happy springer spaniel, ears flapping, leaping above bright daffodils and bumblebees

It’s spring, yay !!

Happy International Bagpipe Day !

Nothing at all - only that they have the advantage as they’re waterproof !

Helpful duck using its wing to shelter two wood mice and a very cross wet tit from the rain

On this soggy Monday, happy National Umbrella Day to anyone who‘s not a duck.

It’s a rough pencil sketch scanned and quickly coloured in procreate. Watercolour is my preferred medium, but pencil is easier when lurking in a cafe ! Glad you like it 😊

Observing the latest dog fashions from a cafe window …..

Observing dog fashions from a cafe today, I noticed dog onesies are very popular. Great for keeping fur clean, but very funny from behind … 😁

Tonight is the full ‘ wolf moon’ A very smol wolf invites you to join him with your loudest and best ‘Arooooooooooo !’

National Maple Syrup day - yum !
