We found a dog in our road last night. We went out to check it was ok and see if we could call it over. It ran over to say hi and we popped a lead on it. It’s mum came rushing along saying the window cleaner had left the gate open and my friend had got out. Happy ending. Phew!
I’m in so much trouble. Mum made shortbread last night for a work bake off. She took a nice photo for the competition. Then she went upstairs. I don’t know what happened, I passed out momentarily, but when I came around they were gone........
He was a Dogs trust dog. I went to Darlington to get him. It was a long journey, and I was worried he wouldn’t settle when I got him home. I was wrong. A short while after we arrived home.........
Mum says I’m the best boy. I wanted the toilet at 3 this morning. I tapped gently on the door until she woke up. No barks. Just taps. Apparently I’m very lovely.
Hi everyone, I’m Bleddyn. I’m 4 years old (5 next month) and I’m new here. I was adopted from

in August and I’m having the best time in my new home. Please say hi!

Mum has been out for pancakes after getting her results. A little bit of background, the hospital and GP were thinking she had endometrial cancer. Today she found out that the biopsy results were benign. Small op in 2 weeks and she should be back on her feet in no time.
Two years ago this gorgeous boy left this life. He was a sweet, clever and funny boy. He loved sitting in the middle of the road and watching me struggle with 30kg of collie. I miss him very much.
Mum just had a phone call from her IT dept. He is dropping a new laptop to her tomorrow and asked what time she’d be home. ‘I won’t be here between 11 & 1 as it’s my dog’s birthday and I’m taking him out’. He was most amused and probably thinks mum is a bit odd. Which is right.
Hi all! Sorry we’ve not been around much. Mum is still unwell but she’s going to the hospital on Tuesday for tests. She’s taking lots of painkillers so she’s mostly asleep. We’ve bonded over sleeping so much, and I’ve been keeping her feet warm. Hope you’re all well and happy. ❤️
I fell asleep on my own bed last night. This is a first for me. I generally sit in it and nibble a blanket. Last night I fell asleep in it. I’ve been here since September so mum was really chuffed. She’s let me take things at my own pace and it’s working.
Sorry we’ve been quiet. After mum’s op last month she’s got to have another one very soon. It’s something called a hystericalectomy I think. Maybe she’ll start being funny afterwards. We can only hope.
As mum went upstairs today I ran up ahead of her. When she got to the bathroom I was sitting in the bath. No water in it. I was expecting candles, a drink and a good book, but she told me to ‘get out you numpty’.
Sorry we’ve been a bit quiet. Mum was at the hospital yesterday and had some biopsies. We’ve got to wait two weeks for the results, so she’s a little up and down. She came home yesterday and went to sleep as she was quite washed out. As always though, onwards etc.
I scared mum last night. I’d fallen asleep and she was just drifting off when I let out a blood curdling howl for now reason. Mum had to check if it was a full moon and if I was actually a Werecollie.
Today’s the day!

One year ago I arrived with my
@DogsTrust
bag and the hope of a happy new life. Day one photo and today. I have had chicken and a run around this morning. So far so good in year one. Think I’ll stay.
I woke mum up with my crying. I got on the bed with her but I was still crying. She can’t find anything obvious. We went for a quick walk to see if it’s anything obvious, but it’s not legs/paws. Currently cuddled on the sofa with mum watching over me.
Mum’s friend is fostering a dog who is a bit barky. Their neighbour mentioned it and her friend apologised and explained the dog only knows Welsh, and they’re all learning Welsh so they can talk to the dog. Neighbour seemed satisfied with this fantastic piece of fibbing.
Mum has had her final pre assessment today. It’s all go for a hystericalectomy on Monday. Lots to do beforehand, but she’s physically ready. They had to do an ultrasound on her heart as a final check. Turns out it’s not a cold stone after all. ❤️
Mum has lots of tests today for her broken old body. She’s been awake all night, but I slept next to her so she was safe. I’m doing my best ‘I’m worried face’. (This is actually my ‘look into my eyes, give me food’ face, but she thinks I’m worried so i won’t correct her)
Mum was up at 1.30 this morning wandering the house in pain. As her personal guard I had to go with her. Consequently we are both exhausted tonight. I’ve found my spot for a nap. (We will reply to everyone but mum has new knock out painkillers and isn’t sure of her own name now)
Mum here. Just some thoughts. When our dogs, cats or whoever we share our lives with leave us, we mourn so hard for them. They give us such joy. I believe they show us the best part of ourselves too. When I’ve been with any of my dogs, I’m nearly always the best version of me.
I woke mum up with loud retching sounds, followed by a world record top speed leap out of bed for her. Then I peed on her potato patch in the garden, so today had started well.
We’re sorry we disappeared yesterday. Mum’s uncle passed away. He and mum loved dogs so much and it was their common bond.
Mum is glad his dogs will be waiting for him OTRB 🌈 they were his world.
I’m so sorry we missed all your lovely New Year messages. Mum had to go to bed early as she had a pickled onion and it made her ill. This is her life after 50. No, no, stop laughing, it’s not funny. Much.
Just a quick message. No one should feel silly or foolish if they donated to the scam account. I’d you donated it shows you are a good and kind person. The only people who should feel bad are the scammers. Dog Twitter is good and kind and they know this. We stand together.
Mum is waiting for her Covid test result. Had to have one yesterday as she has a cough and someone she knows now has it. She had an early night as she was feeling tired. Paws crossed she’s ok.
Went to the Dogs home. Mum sat in the car and cried as she saw the happy little dogs going out for their walks, and some returning. My poor friends. They are safe, but I hope they find loving homes soon. ❤️
Someone bought mum gin that changes colour when you add tonic. She didn’t notice a change with the first (large) one, so she’s having another one just to check.
Grampy lost his best friend yesterday. He was very sad. We took him to Barry Island this morning for a nice walk and a sausage bap for breakfast. He shared his breakfast with me, which is more than mum did. Good old Grampy.
