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!


⚡Please don’t forget to react & restack if you appreciate my work. More engagement means more people might see it. ⚡


The wee man found an interest in nature this week and realised he has a love of baby owls🦉, to be honest, so did I :) After that excitement, I decided to show you that nobody sleeps as hard as a Frenchie that has done absolutely nothing all day; this is proof of that 😴.

Anybody who follows the Virtual Pet Therapy series will be used to seeing photos of Leffe and his extreme patience at watching his Mummy or Daddy eating. 🍞Toast watch 🍞 is like an Olympic sport for this one!

Then back to his day job of looking after and supporting me. Leffe always knows when I am not at my best and no matter where he is in the house he will just come and find me, you just can’t appreciate how important that can be unless you experience the enormity of C-PTSD in your life and its debilitating nature and capabilities, the smallest touch can be enough to keep you grounded in reality. This is how he earns his keep in this house and why he sleeps so hard.

Colleen took the next three photos this very morning, and we both said, “What goes through his little head?” I will often catch him staring at a wall or into open space and wonder if he has fallen asleep with his eyes open and it cracks me up much of the time.

The last photo is just to show you why sometimes I refer to him as “my little spud 🥔”

This week, you are fortunate to be getting a video of the shredder in action and you can see just how excited he gets every time he sees a box in the house :)

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.
