Dave: It was a glorious evening for some dog field shenanigans! I did fabulous zoomies! 😊 Saffy: I patrolled the long grass, hunting small creatures. Bye bye small mousy vole thing! 😈

One of us can be a bit nippy when excited. It's not Dave, who looks like a huge levitating death monster but is actually very gentle. It's Saffy. If she was playing off leash with hounds we don't know she'd be muzzled.

Heck no. A few hounds had muzzles on, but there was no requirement to wear them. We're pro- muzzle when they're needed, we don't judge, but there were 694 dogs on the walk and no incidents. All were well behaved. 😊

Saffy: He can keep the snood. I don't do snoods! We have had lots of treats though. 😊

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!

Dave is happy because we made a stop on the way home for a ride on a steam train. Just like the adult manchild, he loves trains!

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.

We did see the flying machines. Mum's favourite thing was Colin McRae's car. She'd like to have been a rally driver. We had no interest in the tidal bore, but we had a good walk with some very fine sniffs. 😊

Dave: I loved every moment, especially the children. Pointy PR is a very impawtant job. I adore children and if just 1 out of every 100 I meet grows up to adopt a greyhound then I have done a good job. 😊

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. ☹️

We've been very lucky with the weather. It's been great.

Deep sadness here. 💔 She brightened our lives with her brilliance, humour and beautiful interpretation of the world. We will miss her very much. Sending condolences and love to Other Mum. ❤️

Mum wishes it was somewhere off the beaten track in Scotland, but it's the lake district. Lovely, but horribly busy. On the plus side, she opened the curtains this morning and there was a squirrel right outside the window. Dave lost his tiny mind! 😁

Yes! This was us at Honister Pass. Then we went squirrel spotting at Whinfell Forest. It has been a fabulous day. 😊

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. 😀

Oh Nina. 💔 We're so sorry to see this news. We hope that she and Honey are playing nicely together at the rainbow bridge but, knowing them, they might be having a slightly growly stand off. Sending our condolences and much love. Run free beautiful girl. ❤️🌈❤️

Yup, sighthound prey drive is a dangerous thing! She was so sure she'd win. She was wrong.

Fighting a cat is not the best decision she's ever made. 🙄

Hello friends! Apart from the failed cat dedding, and Saffy's eye injury, we're all good. It's cool today, but still no rain. Everything is brown and dry. It's most un-British! x

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. 😈😁

Our 🌈 Honey Greyhound was attacked by a JRT. She rolled it over and pinned it down on its back. Mum was sure she was going to kill it, but she just gave it a hard stare and let it go. We reckon she was teaching it some manners!

Unfortunately, no one had any spare hands for making a video. All the hoos were using their hands to keep a firm grip as a Pomeranian barrelled through the pack. It was chaos! 😁

It's a lighthearted slang word for someone who is stupid or inept. It's often used when someone has been clumsy or done something foolish. It describes Dave perfectly!

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.

We have just booked a (very expensive) week on Lindisfarne for next year. It's the adult manchild's favourite place so we're treating him for his birthday. It would be lovely to meet up. ❤️

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. 😊
