Dave: Today we had a walk with billions of hounds. I was "Very good boy Dave!" because no small dogs were menaced. So many treats and fusses! Brilliant! Saffy: There was drizzle and I didn't have a coat. Dave won a snood and some treats on the dogbola. I won nothing. The walk was far too long. Grim!

Saffy: Oh look! A lake. 🙄 No, I don't want to walk around it. This is supposed to be a holiday, not an endurance test.

Dave: Wow! Today we went to something called a museum. There was a coach load of small children. The teacher lady said, "Stay away from the big dogs!". They totally ignored her. So many fusses! 😊 Then we went to the seaside. Awesome! 😀 Saffy: OMD! Shouty children and a windswept estuary. Grim. ☹️

Saffy: Well this is grim. Still no idea where we are, but there's far too much walking involved for my liking. 😕 Dave: It's glorious! Look at the view, the weather, the sheep... ooh, ooh... a red squirrel! Best day ever! 😀 #BeMoreDave

Saffy: OMD! Surprise road trip. I have no idea where we are. Fank dog someone remembered to bring our beds. I'm anticipating a week of misery, well outside of my comfort zone. 😕 Dave: Woo hoo! Holiday! I'm looking forward to some awesome adventures. 😀

Dave: What did Saffy learn this week? If you try to mouth hug a cat there will be pain, shouting, cellulitis, an emergency vet trip (that will be eleventy billion pounds please) and a cone of shame. Cat 1 - Saffy 0. 🤭 Saffy: Totally worth it! Would definitely do it again. 😈😁

Saffy: Ducks - not for eating. Squirrels- not for eating. Rabbits - not for eating. The snappy, "Don't worry, he's friendly!", off lead dog that went for Dave - Mum said I could eat him! 😈😁 Dave: Thanks for having my back. 😊 Saffy: Someone had to step up. You were terrified, you big wuss. Dave: 😳

Goodbye Northumberland. A quick pitstop at The Drift Cafe, for sausages and bacon sandwiches, and we're on our way home.

Saffy: Our last day in Northumberland. Glorious weather on Lindisfarne, but far too much walking for my liking. Then a chippy tea. Dave thinks he's in heaven. He's easily pleased.

Today we went to Bamburgh, a special place for greyhounds, to meet friends old and new. We remembered the friends we have lost, we raised money to help other hounds and, most importantly, we had fun! Oh, and mum won gin in the raffle - she says it was the best day ever! BOL! 😁

Road trip part 2. What a glorious day for a journey north. We are heading to a special houndy place. How lovely that at a pitstop en route we made some new houndy friends. 😊

Mum left us at the holiday place and went home for diagnostic surgery. She was on the operating table when the consultant looked at her and said no surgery was needed. What a palaver! On the plus side, she's not dedded yet and we can go on another road trip tomorrow. Where are we going next? 🤔

Dave: Happy #TongueOutTuesday. I'm mercifully oblivious to the world going to hell in a handcart. All I know is that it has been a lovely day. I've enjoyed some off lead shenanigans and a very fine leftover roast beef dinner. Life is good. 😊

Saffy: The most grim day out ever. Just grim. Dave: Sun, rain, hail, mud, woods, hills and dales, pheasants, squirrels, spaniels, a pack of sausage dogs in matching tartan coats... and now this. Wow! Best day ever!

Saffy: A covert shot of the face of despair, as Dave watches his emotional support human get in the car without him. Mum started a new job today and it requires her to occasionally leave the house. Dave doesn't understand the change of routine, but he knows he doesn't like it. 🙄

Dave: What a glorious day for a walk! Blue sky and sunshine, lots to explore and marvellous distractions, such as floofy little doodle dogs. Great fun! 😊 Saffy: It was grim. There was mud, lots of mud. I was slowly sinking. No one cared. ☹️

Saffy: Mum needs a bigger bed. I tried to oust Dave, so that I could spread out, but he wasn't scared of me. I find that disconcerting. How can I rule if there is no fear?

Dave: It was a lovely day for a walk by the river with some pointy pals, followed by a visit to a pub. I made lots of new friends, no small dogs were menaced and I discovered that pubs sell high quality snacks. Who knew?! Everyone said I was a very good boy. 😊

Wishing everyone a very happy, healthy and peaceful 2026. Our wish for 2026 is that all the hounds waiting for their furevers find loving homes very soon. Happy New Year!
A collage of some 2025 memories, including sweet Sketch. He broke our hearts by deciding that it was his time. We miss him very much, we even miss his less desirable habits. Well, maybe not the pillow licking. Mum doesn't really miss that. Keep running fast and free Sketchy. 🌈

Saffy: Today we had 5 minutes of sunshine and then rain nearly all day. ☹️ We dodged the rain for long enough to have some off lead shenanigans at an enclosed field. Dave exhausted himself. He's so tired, he's scoffed his dinner and then collapsed. You've heard of bed fail, well this is sofa fail. 😁

Dave: Happy birthday to me! I am 6 years old today. When I see a pheasant I get wildly excited, so I've had a pheasant themed birthday. I got a honking pheasant toy, a raw pheasant birthday tea and a pheasant and wild boar sausage dessert. Best day ever!

Happy #FlapsOutFriday! Apparently it's been a heck of a week. Mum is now unemployed/retired. She's celebrating the fact that she'll now be able to start drinking at lunchtime! We're hoping she'll pull herself together, work out what her skill-set is, and do some kibble earning before we all starve!

Saffy: Today on Holidays from Hell, two greyhounds were crammed into a wooden box being dragged by a fire breathing death monster. They ended the day by being forced to go for a walk on a beach. Horrible. Dave: Oh my dog! My first ever train ride. Woo hoo! I loved it! Yay! Beach! Best day ever!
