It’s ages since I posted a dog pic, since losing Charlie and Len in 2025 - but this is a new year, and this is my grandpup Olive! A beautiful little long haired mini dachshund gal. We all love her 🥰 #dogs

Pals, I have sad news. This week our beautiful Len took suddenly ill, and yesterday we said goodbye to him at home with all the family around. He has been the softest, most daft and devoted dog, loved by many. We’re heartbroken and will miss him so much ❤️

I know lots of writers (me included) are struggling with positivity and motivation at the moment. So I thought I’d share a pic of serious Len to brighten your day, along with the reminder I give myself from time to time: this feeling will pass.

Fun fact: for 5 years dachshund Len was a Pets as Therapy dog, and together we’d visit a local primary school to listen to children read. At the end of each session, he’d offer a paw to his reader and they’d reward him with a treat 🥰 As you can see from the photo, he took his work very seriously.

Dog lovers, this is Charlie the Border Terrier. He’s 90% deaf and blind now … and in his 18th year!

I’m just dipping my toe into the Bluesky waters and already spotting so many fav bods from the early Twitter days. Here’s a blue sky pic from one of my coastal post-writing walks in Dorset this week. Connect with me if you love books, nature, dogs, creativity, laughter and kindness 👋
