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 and ensuring 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!

What a treat in store, there are even 3 videos this week! First, to the photos, though. One of the ways Leffe earns his keep in the house is regarding document security, as he is actually a fully licensed shredder for anything up to and including secret documents. For proof, there is even a video of him in action below.

🍓 Strawberry watch 🍓 is still in full swing and he has been tending to them very carefully each day.

Today, Colleen took him for a walk in Lacock, he got to enjoy a nice dip in the river and even managed to meet a few other dogs, apparently he wasn’t his normal self and said hello to a few of them! He tends to be great with dogs smaller than him, but anything bigger and he thinks he can take them on and will shout at them. He visited Professor Slughorn’s house, but unfortunately, he wasn’t at home (That is for those Harry Potter fans out there ⚡)

I love photos of him looking majestic because he hates having his photo taken, so it is rare to get him looking anywhere near the lens. As he was such a good boy when he got home, he was given one of his favourite treats, a nice cold ice cream.

Now onto this week’s videos

This was a lovely one of him showing his playful side and generally means he wants a belly rub, which I always oblige him with.

Colleen treated him to a strawberry as he has been doing so well tending to them.

As promised, proof that he is one of the best shredders you will ever find!

I hope you got a few laughs and smiles from this week’s Virtual Pet Therapy, as we really enjoy putting them together for you.

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.
