A viscacha from South America doing the lactation thing. All breastfeeding mums will recognise those half-closed milk drunk eyes.

This adorable minx just cost approximately £400 in urine tests and blood tests and hormone tests.
Turns out it was psychogenic overdrinking most likely caused by anxiety or feeling randy. Symptoms have passed and tests showed nothing scary. #DogsofBlueSky #PeskyDogsofBlueSky

That was a swing seat (now have to find the seat bit).
That was a balcony.

You can write 4 books and countless articles, but you don’t really get much choice about which words will get seen by the most people! Could be worse. This one at least demonstrates my epic piggy back skills.

Tomorrow’s podcast episode celebrates a connection between 2 sisters & their journey in supporting each other to breastfeed. Also describes an ingenious technique to diagnose tongue tie! Feed your sister’s baby and feel the difference! Look for ‘Makes milk with Emma Pickett’. #breastfeeding #ibclc

In 11 minutes, we go from A to B. Buying a dog toy is essentially buying a breadstick.
It happens with even the tough ones.
I feel I should be able to hire him out to dog toy companies. How does one get that gig? #DogsofBlueSky

Happy Birthday to the 17 year old who wants @alastaircampbell2.bsky.social and Harriet Harman (and friends) on her carrot cake.

One upside to colder temperatures is ground just frozen enough to prevent a muddy dog. If my dog could have a micro climate around him that kept mud firm all year, that would be handy. Not sure he’d be thrilled about it however. #DogsofBlueSky

Many wooden spoons carved by my husband and being sold today at a local craft fair. Finding a hobby later in life is a very special thing and becoming talented at it is even more special.

My second post shall be a dog because the world needs friendly pets this month.
This is Stanley. Originally from Northern Ireland, now a Londoner. Likes getting close to squirrels. Dislikes cyclists walking their bikes (niche).
