🤶🏻 A festive Larry 🤶🏻
Christmas was an excellent time for Larry. There were so many opportunities to steal food 🥐. One of his greatest heists was a quantity of uncooked (but thankfully proven) croissant dough. The resulting poops were rich and buttery 🧈.
Miss you GitFace 🖤.
a senior black greyhound with a sugar dusted snoot lies on a sofa. He wears a striped tee and a hand knitted Santa hat. He points his snoot directly at the camera. There must be a snack somewhere.

"For me?"
Annie rarely steals food - she knows that humans will offer her perfect little delicious morsels. That is her right and our purpose 🦄👑✨.
a white Galga uses her lemgthy snoot to investigate a frosted cinnamon bun on a cafe table. It meets her standards and she looks forward to sampling it.

Good morning friends and happy December! I'm v much enjoying my M&S and @tonyschocolonely.bsky.social advent calendars 🍫. I'm not enjoying essay marking quite so much, but I made a big dent yesterday (and consequently felt terrible and was asleep on the sofa at 7.30pm).
a white Galga lounges on a blue sofa. She's looking directly at the camera and her mauve snoot is slightly out of focus because her snoot is just so incredibly lemgthy. She wears a green tee with festive plague doctors and candy canes striped accents.

POV: You spend every evening snuggling with your unicorn Fae child 🩷✨.
Do you:
a) ruffle the earsies
b) gently deflate a cheek puff
c) tuck the blankie more snuggly
d) look on in wonder and awe
a white Galga sleeps on her sofa. She is surrounded by warm throws and a cushion. Her eyes are closing, and her white eyelashes are simply beyond perfection. Every hound should have this much peace and love.

Gorgeous gorgeous girls love getting their new tees muddy on walks 🎄✨.
📣 I'm so sorry, but I'm not going to be able to relist this print online. It's been so popular (tysm). I could make a tee from the stripes, or a plain burgundy with the print to line the polo neck. But otherwise, it's all gone.
a white Galga stands on a path surrounded by trees with their autumn foliage. She's looking directly at the camera/her Man (Mr B&P). She wears a festive print tee with striped sleeves. She is gorgeous.

Morning friends! Mr B&P visited us on Sunday and we had a lovely breakfast on Monday and then went for a pre-work walk. And it felt really lovely 🍂. The colours were excellent.
Also: please meet My Beautiful New Coat 🖤. It's important that I make an effort so that I don't show Annie up 💅🏻✨.
a white female human and her white Galga stand on a damp path through a patch of woodland. The path is covered with fallen red and yellow leaves. It rained overnight and the sky is still grey. The human wears an amazing faux fur coat. It's deep chocolate brown and reaches to her ankles.

"Mummy, it's bedtime." 💤
I've been having lots of early nights and I love it. Even after nearly a decade out of clinical practice, I'm still so delighted to sleep in my bed at night rather than being on duty, and to have A Lovely Routine which isn't disturbed by shift work.
a white Galga lies in a pink fluffy doughnut bed in the dim light of Angela's living room. It's dark and cosy. The Galga looks at her human questioningly, surely it's bedtime now?

Good morning! It's Friday, so that means it's my big sewing plus audiobook day ✨ (Salem's Lot currently 📚).
I'm making good progress with the festive orders and I've got a couple still available 🎄.
We had lots of post yesterday - including this new collar from @wildriver.co 🏞️

Okay so it's definitely cold now. Thankfully no slippy pavements YET.
Annie and I are permanently wrapped in various blankets and snuggled together. She's been wearing her thicker sweatshirt fabric tees and seems comfortable 🖤. I've got a few prints on this fabric base still available.

It's cold and damp here in Sheffield today, but my task is to finish (or nearly finish) a paper I've been working on and that can be achieved whilst I'm cosy under our heated blanket 📚💻✨. A nice work day 🖤.
a white Galga stands on a concrete sea wall on a sunny autumn day. The sea is to rage left of the image. She's standing next to a bench which has a wrought iron sea monster as its legs.

Morning friends 🍂. It's gone a bit cold in Yorkshire and I'm 100% here for it (until it gets icy and then I'll be terrified of pavements again).
Erika looks perfectly at home in her plaid jumper (long sold out) amidst a sea of russet bracken.
a black Galga with a white snoot stands chest-deep in rich rust coloured bracken. The sky is grey and foreboding. The hound stands with her snoot aloft. Something has intrigued her. She wears a plaid tee which acts as effective camouflage. She knows what she's doing 💅🏻.

🚨 This is your fifteen minute Galga feeding time warning bell 🚨
The rain has stopped! So I think we'll treat ourselves to a park walk and get a nice loaf of bread 🍞 on the way home. Excited to apply a thick layer of butter and insert regularly into my face as I pack orders ready for tomorrow.
a white Galga lies in a dark living room. She offers her hoomum some side eye. It's food time in approx 15mins and the hooman appears to be laid on the sofa instead of beginning preparations. Angela is still playing with the Prequel app (free functions only) and has managed to make her living room look like a dark vortex with the white hound in the center. Which sounds accurate tbh.

I'll soon be commencing a big day of sewing! 🎄🎁✨
(I'm currently still v non-festive. I had a M&S festive sandwich this week - I felt nothing except a bit of disappointment).
Festive sewing is acceptable though.

Happy 4th gotcha day Annie!

Annie, you changed my life. You came to me when I was at my lowest. We sat and watched Gilmore Girls whilst I cried about my PhD. I genuinely think we needed each other.

I love you endlessly 🦄🤍✨.

a white Galga stands amidst rough grass under a bright blue sky. She's looking to the left of the frame. We're on Lindisfarne, and there's so much to see and sniff. She's taking a moment to absorb everything.

Your festive orders are dropping through letterboxes 📬. I'm so pleased that you love the tees and prints 🎄✨.
I'm currently v busy with my academic role (plus sewing all weekend), so keep these photos coming please! They really make my day.

a blue and white whippet reclines on a human bed. It's just perfect for him and he's very comfy thank you very much. He wears a festive print tee with striped sleeves.

Annie approved of our Berwick B&B 100% ✨
We stayed at Belmont House in Tweedmouth. The B&B is on a quiet street with easy access to the beach or a field to walk your dog. Berwick itself is about a 15min Galga trot ✨. Sarah's breakfasts are just incredible and Annie received sausages every morning.
a white Galga lounges smugly on a bed festooned with bright patterned cushions. She wears a deep green polo neck tee. Her tail is curled over her shoulder. She genuinely looks like she is smiling. This is peak comfort.

This time last week, Annie and I went on a boat trip.
We found out a few things:
1. Annie has excellent sea legs.
2. The sea air has interesting sniffs.
3. Not only is mummy car sick, she's also sea sick.
Please enjoy Annie in her blankie on board the boat 🛥️.

Are you normal or are you Annie? 🤍
a white Galga attempts a human-style sit on a sofa. She has wedged her buttocks on to the seat and her front feet are on the floor. She's looking round at her mummy.

✨ Girl about town ✨
🩷🩵💛💚
I currently have one of these in stock, but will hopefully increase my inventory once I've cut some more orders.
I'm up super early to be on campus today. Currently thinking that this time one week ago, Annie and I were getting ready to travel to Berwick for our holiday 😭.
a blue whippet stands in front of a takeaway shop. This description doesn't do justice to the magical light in this photo which totally transforms the mundane location. The whippet wears a bright festive stamp print tee with a Sherpa collar.

It's Monday and re-entry into work mode feels very 😭.
Annie and I loved our #FirstClass trip up to Berwick-upon-Tweed - we got our upgrades from SeatFrog and I can't recommend it enough, especially if you're traveling with a lemgthy fren.
Right. Outlook. Time to face my nemesis ⚫ #TheVoidOfDoom.

Thank you so much for your support on last night's shop update - I'm low on everything! Thank you. I'm so glad you like the prints I chose.
I've woken up with a hideous migraine. I feel absolutely horrendous. Hopefully I'll be able to cut a few orders later on but we shall see how things go.
a white Galga looks through the ramparts of Berwick walls. She gazes out over the North Sea. Her tail has curled to form an oval. The Galga wears a navy blue Halloween print tee which was much admired.

Good morning friends - it's festive launch day! 6pm GMT 🎄
Annie and I got home safely from our holiday in Berwick - it was wonderful and I'm already missing the amazing bath at the B&B, the incredibly comfortable bed, and our host's amazing breakfasts 😭.
But we're glad to be back in our home too.
a white Galga lounges regally on her blue throne/sofa. She wears a Nordic-inspired sleeved tee. The tee is cream, with a print of hounds in colourwork jumpers. In front of her is a dog toy which looks like an envelope addressed to Santa.

Happy Halloween friends! 🎃
A few weeks ago, a strange being was spotted in Marple. Apparently they had been called to earth for one very important reason - they wanted to walk a Galga. Perfectly understandable.
1) an edited photo of a Polaroid stuck to a pin board covered with investigative notes. The photo shows an alien lifeform dressed all in black and walking a white Galga through some woodland. The disguise would have been more successful if they had covered their huge green head. 2) the same pin board featuring more photos of the duo, including the sampling of a pint of cider. Mulder and Scully are pictured in the foreground looking concerned.

We visited #Lindisfarne yesterday 🖤.
The centre was super busy when we arrived BUT we started walking along the coastal walk and the humans just melted away. Perfect. Annie had lots to sniff and look at and she had a super time.
Annie was asleep straight after her tea and I think I made it to 8pm 🤣
1) a white Galga surveys the sunlit grass fields of Lindisfarne island. She'll take it all, thank you. 2) a statue of the outline of a flying bird. 3) a wicker bird perched upon a dry stone wall.
