Just a rescue boy snoring his head off on his first Bonfire Night. Paddy wasn’t impressed by the fireworks but he’s not a quivering wreck and I’m very thankful for that ❤️

Just a rescue boy snoring gently, enjoying the comfort of 3 thick, comfortable dog beds & a pillow, with a warm radiator behind him.
Rescue changes lives. A year ago he was locked up alone in a cold dark stable. Paddy’s life changed in January when we adopted him. Love you my boy ❤️❤️❤️

Tobes mid-tantrum, complete with stamping paws! The joy of senior dogs who know they have you wrapped around their paw.

The Venerable Tobes, wearing his years with an air of wisdom…which doesn’t fool anyone who knows him to be well and truly in touch with his inner numpty!❤️❤️❤️
A chocolate Labrador, with white hairs around his nose, mouth, cheeks, under his eyes and in his eyebrows, gazes soulfully at the person behind the camera. He looks like he is ready to impart wisdom

The Venerable Tobes, looking ready to impart wuffs of wisdom to the younger dogs
Looks can be deceiving, he’s an absolute numpty but he’s my numpty and I adore him
I adopted him 8 years ago and all the time in the world won’t be enough with him ❤️❤️❤️

An elderly chocolate Labrador lies on a grey memory foam dog bed. His brown hair has a lot of white hair showing through on his face, his paws and his legs. He looks like he’s contemplating life, the universe and when his next snack is due

Happy 8th Gotcha Day Toby, my beloved boy. You’re a complete numpty but you’re my complete numpty and I adore you. Adopting you changed my life, love you always ❤️❤️❤️

A chocolate and white frosted Labrador gazes soulfully at the person behind the camera. He’s hungry and would like them to feed him. He’s about to throw a tantrum! Chocolate Labrador with white frosting on his face (around his nose, mouth and eyebrows), neck, paws and chest. He is sitting up and waving his front paws in the air. He looks confused, proud and happy at his achievement! Chocolate Labrador on a beach. He’s smiling Complete numpty of a chocolate Labrador luring upside down on a white and blue striped duvet. He’s waving his paws in the air and has a big grin on his face, his essence captured in the photo

Tobes has taken to his laser physio sessions rather well - you can almost hear him snoring on this photo. It’s our Gotcha Day on Tuesday, 8 years since I rescued him and he rescued me ❤️

An elderly chocolate Labrador lies upside down on a padded blue mat. He is waving his paws in the air while the physiotherapist treats his left elbow with a laser. He’s snoring loudly

After 5 long years, I’ve been discharged from cancer follow up monitoring from both breast care & specialist sarcoma oncology teams. I’m so thankful for their skill and care.
Had to laugh at the letter saying the surveillance would now stop - made it sound like MI5 had been involved 🤣

Essence of Tobes, taken just before he had physiotherapy and hydrotherapy yesterday. He’s so happy, proud of managing to sit up and confused at how he did it
The world’s happiest chocolate Labrador, big daft expression on his frosted face. He is sitting up and you can see his frosted paws in the air.

8 years ago today since I popped online to set up a profile for internet dating. Thankfully I first saw this beautiful brown eyed boy from Serbia and fell head over heels in love with him.

Never did get round to setting up that internet dating profile! 🤣

#rescuedogs
8 years ago. A chocolate Labrador gazes soulfully at the camera. He is standing in a field at a rescue centre. He has a spike of hair on top of his head but the rest of his coat is patchwork where it’s falling out. He’s so emaciated you can count his ribs. Despite this, it was love at first sight Today. The same chocolate Labrador - by now with shimmering white hair muzzle, white chin, cheeks and eyebrows - gazes into the camera. His eyes are a little more cloudy but his gaze is undimmed. He knows he is totally loved and secure

Say hello and Happy Gotcha Day to Paddy who found his forever home with us today.

The 1st photo he’s about to eat his first ever meal in his forever home. There is an older chocolate Labrador at his side, who went through the same rite of passage nearly 8 years ago

A tall golden Labrador stands in the kitchen and smiles at the person behind the camera. He’s about to eat his first ever meal in his forever home. There is an older chocolate Labrador at his side, who went through the same rite of passage nearly 8 years ago. A dark-gold Labrador lies on the living room carpet, replete after his first meal. He is looking at the person behind the camera and his tail is wagging so quickly it’s caused a blur on the photo A Labrador crosses his front paws, left over right, and decides his new gaff and family might just be ok for his first night A dark gold Labrador lies on a dog bed, having had his second meal in his new home and decided he enjoyed it very much. He dreams of something called sardines, which tasted delicious. A new treasure - a spiky yellow ball - lies to his left hand side in case he needs playtime during the night.

I’m in Las Vegas for work. My luggage is enjoying a magical mystery tour around the US, Having been left in Washington DC by the airline, they’ve now sent it to Chicago, despite there being 3 daily flights direct to Vegas 🤷🏻‍♀️

Sometimes the train WiFi not working very well falls in your favour so you spend the journey north to Glasgow enjoying the spectacular scenery instead. Absolutely arctic temperatures, bright sunshine and I could see for miles.

The northern lights dancing above the house at teatime on New Year’s Day. Even the streetlights couldn’t obliterate them.

I’ve already called this place ‘BSkyB’. Guess it’s going to be forever known as that for me now!
