Happy Friday to you all, and I hope you are looking forward to the weekend ahead and have plans to relax and enjoy some well-earned downtime!

It has been a busy week for the wee man, supporting me andensuringe I stay grounded and safe. Here are just a selection of the images from the last week to hopefully bring a smile to your face too!

So, for this week’s selection, we start with the numerous ways he supports me and keeps me moving forward! If not for him and the need to walk him, I doubt I would leave the house at all with Colleen at work. Those days when I really can’t get out of bed, he is there to let me know I am not alone, and his patience and presence are normally just enough. He always enjoys a good cup of tea in the garden with me, too!

This picture I took because he just made me chuckle, I love the inquisitive looks that he gives me sometimes, this one I decoded to “Daddy, it is time for a walk, let’s go!” Upon returning from said walk, he immediately took up his sunbathing position in the garden, you would assume he was cold-blooded, the amount of time he requires sun worshipping. The wonderful people over at We Rate Dogs rated him as a 12/10, which was lovely, but to me, he will always be a 100 out of 10!

🍓Strawberry watch 🍓 continues in earnest, and he tends to them very lovingly, stealing them when he thinks nobody is watching. I wasn’t able to decode this one initially but then I realised he was saying “Daddy you are in my seat and I would like to lie there please” obviously I moved immediately for him and he got comfortable for approximately 3 minutes before he realised it was sunny outside and made his way to ‘his’ beanbag.

We wish you all a wonderful and safe weekend.


As always, thank you for your support. Please share this across your social media, and if you do have any comments, questions, or concerns, then feel free to reach out to me here or on BlueSky, as I am always happy to spend some time helping to protect children online.

Remember that becoming a paid subscriber means that you will be supporting two charities that are very close to my heart and doing amazing things for people. The Not Forgotten Association and Childline, as I will split all subscriptions 50/50 and donate to each charity every six months, as I don’t do any of this for financial gain.
