I Hope this is the pub thread? Puppy Earl at Puppy school. Week1 end of session bites his leather lead off poos in the middle of the circle of classmates and owners. Each following week at the end of 45 min class he’s repeated poop bit. I’m now calling it The Earl’s critique. Lucky he’s a looker.

Thought I would interject with some cute levity. Earl we got as all of us missed Charlie. Nearly a month in now Earl has charmed us, though he’s feeling the squeeze with his “Fat Bottom” sister. 2 unbeknownst to us at the time of getting Earl he has a beautiful facial homage to your dad Duncan.

Our new pup Earl, who unbeknownst to us at the time of picking him has a Bowie style lightening bolt on his face.

Get another pup! Obviously kids are not challenging enough! We brought Earl home yesterday, I was up in the drizzle with him at 2am to get him to do “His Business” that’s a real challenge… but just look at that dial.🙄😅

Our Latest addition to our clan. Earl, arrived today. He’s so laid back and fitting in beautifully even as early as day 1. Fingers crossed it stays this way.

Happy Birthday 🎈 if it is your Birthday. It’s our wedding anniversary. We went out for lunch no pizza, but a lovely view.

Ian (husband) reckons he’ll be carrying me to bed after these freshly baked bad boys.

We lost our beautiful 11 year old Springer Charlie nearly a month ago now, so really spoiling Matilda. Look at her new do.

The attempts of gaslighting continues :

It’s no wonder there’s literally 100’s of these in opp shops. Useless. Anybody had a good experience or can suggest alternative uses?

I made a banana bread loaf, husband said it’s very good 👍

Our beautiful paintbrush Lillie’s are putting on their Autumn showing.

Yes, though Matilda and I were not thrilled with the Dog product aisle. Not many quality products, especially in the treats department.

Goodbye to our darling Charlie boy. 23/03/2015 - 17/03/2026 We had to say good bye to our precious Charlie today. He did well as had epilepsy from just before he was 3. We kept him stable with Meds he never had another fit. He continued to love swimming in the river like “Thorpie”.

Here’s the Twilight Zone Wolfie.

Bandage on may not be as bad as thought could be cuticle damage not claw. He’s still got an impressive bandage, back for a check up in Tuesday.

Charlie in the wars damaged claw. Subterfuge story ski injury 😜

I made some peach chutney yesterday.

You will enjoy in the future I’m sure. Our peach tree had not produced for 15 years amazingly it started producing 4 years ago now, (maybe as we had to remove a gum too close to the house). Look at what it produced this summer.

He can’t touch my stash, I just invested in time.

Look what I got today Wolfie 25.00 for the 2 @ the cutprice table from the local B word hardware chain store.

I spent the best part of the day whipping this baked cheesecake up. We had an abundance of strawberries. I’ve never made it before. Big kudos to my husband who ALWAYS lines the tins for me. It is pretty good.

That’s sounds a lovely feast. I’ve just got the quiche out, it smells lovely. I’ve made it for tomorrow going to be 40+.

We have just got on to these Wolfie good to have in the freezer and you steam them, we had them with leftover turkey and coleslaw that I made.

I’m listening to BBC Radio 2 Live was thinking of you. Just played Janet Jackson, Wham and The House Martins.

My husband brought them in from the garden. Now making me a hot chocolate, I’ll keep him on.

Fave Christmas treat from Blighty.
