Pippa and Billy McPup

To mark Tongue-Out Tuesday, here's a photo of Baby Prince Billy from way back in 2019, aged just 10 months old ❤️ #tongueouttuesday #dogsofbluesky #lurcher #potcake #adoptdontshop

Bonny Prince Billy has decreed that today all of his subjects must administer at least one belly rub and play a game of tug involving Mr Penguin🐧Huzzah! 👑 #dogsofbluesky #bellyrubs #doggos #adoptdontshop

The bone spurs must be hereditary.

And of course it helps Putin massively with their oil exports.

Well it's not like Trump and Netanyahu want democracy in their own countries.

And to help Putin out of course, by driving up Russia's main source of income.

Did someone say "treats"? Chaaaarge!! #dogsofbluesky #doggos #adoptdontshop #friday #potcake #heeler

I need a good old scritchy- scratch right between the ears please ... left a bit ... up a bit ... ah, that's better! #dogsofbluesky #skritches #doggos #adoptdontship #heeler #ireland

Don't be getting our hopes up! 🤪🙏

Here she comes! #dogsofbluesky #heeler #adoptdontshop #doggos

It's MY frisbee, Dad! #dogsofbluesky #heeler #frisbee #beach #ireland #adoptdontshop #doggos

I really dislike Kindle and I've gone back to physical books not because I'm a Luddite, but because you never actually "own" your Kindle book, it's more like really expensive borrowing library. You should be able to download books that you buy on Kindle to any device in any format IMHO.

Thanks Keith, I'll give that a go!

Dad, can you please make the rain and clouds go away? It's making me sad, I want to go out and play with all my doggie friends! #dogsofbluesky #adoptdontshop #potcake #cutepets #doggos

Pippa is in her own personal heaven - a wall made of yummy kelp! 🤪 #dogsofbluesky #seaweed #beach #kelp #doggos #adoptdontshop

All tuckered out after this morning's big beach walk - must be the excitement of glimpsing the sun for the first time in days! 🌞 #dogsofbluesky #sleepy #doggos #potcake #adoptdontshop #cutepets

This is us having a laugh on Forth Mountain in Wexford 3 years ago, back when we had relatively normal weather and it hadn't rained every single day for six weeks running. Will the rain ever stop? 🌧️ #dogsofbluesky #weather #doggos #ireland #adoptdontshop

Pippa's hunting for sea treats - specifically the nub ends of kelp and extra-stinky crab claws, both of which she absolutely loves. Bon appetit!🤢 #dogsofbluesky #seaweed #ireland #doggos #beach #adoptdontshop #sea

She'll always be our furry baby girl (I know, I'm a total sap!)

One of my favorite photos ever. Pippa was in open kennel in a crowded dog shelter for 2 weeks before we were able to bring her home in November 2018. I took this photo when she'd been with us for just 1 week. Just look at her beautiful, happy face ❤️ #dogsofbluesky #rescuedogsireland #adoptdontshop

Happy Valentine's Day - lots of love to everyone from Pippa and Billy ❤️❤️❤️ #dogsofbluesky #valentine #doggos #valentinesday #cutepets

These defibs are designed so that can't administer a shock unless the heart has actually stopped. They're basically idiot-proof.

Our human was hoping for 5 minutes of peace on the sofa, but we were much too excited about the coming weekend for that nonsense - Happy Friday everyone! #dogsofbluesky #weekend #play #potcake #heeler #rescuedogs #cutepets

The McPups on beach patrol - though Pippa's more interested in the rustling noise coming from Mom's direction ... are treats in the offing? #dogsofbluesky #heeler #potcake #ireland #adoptdontshop #doggos

Billy is broadening his musical tastes - this time he's listening to jazz. His verdict? "It's cool, daddio"! 🎶 #dogsofbluesky #potcake #jazz #music #doggos #adoptdontshop #rescuedogs

When we need a bath Mom chucks us in the sea! 🤪

It seems like years ago since last Spring - the garden is a total quagmire at the moment so there's no way Mom will let us tear around like this right now! #dogsofbluesky #play #tag #doggos #rescuedogs #ireland #adoptdontshop

Here comes Pippa! #dogsofbluesky #doggos #adoptdontshop

Throwback to 2019, when young Pippa was at the height of her ball addiction. Note how she's mesmerised by the ball thrower, forgetting that she already has a tennis ball in her mouth! 😂 #dogsofbluesky #playball #doggos #play #rescuedogs #adoptdontshop

Billy just LOVES the piano. Maybe we should try some dinner jazz next. #dogsofbluesky #relax #piano #adoptdontshop
