Happy Birthday, Mr Devine!
For your birthday I bring you a post of dog proportions – I know you will be thrilled! So here is a picture of my new dog, Barney, and he’s actually a lot bigger than he looks and is finally giving me a moment to update my blog.
And talking of writing blog posts – I am struggling with Blogspot. I have tried, but I find it awkward and clunky and I don’t have the will to fight with it, so apologies for my update here.
Yep, that’s all my brain can manage!

Gosh – he’s a bit of a bruiser! Jx

Jon – He is indeed! I am black and blue! Sometimes I think he looks like James Norton in Happy Valley, which is a bit of a worry.

James Norton’s a handsome man! – but I never saw “Happy Valley”, so I have no idea how he looked in that. Jx

Jon – Mr Norton is still handsome in Happy Valley, but not a nice character. Thankfully Barney does have a nice nature!

Thank you, Ms Scarlet – I am thrilled! Barney is very handsome and looks quite mischievous. I expect Barney and Bertie will get along like a house on fire!

Good grief! Get Barney and Bitey together and there could be Big Trouble. I can just imagine them on the cliff top deciding which hooman to push a sandslide onto…
But I love the mis-matched sleeves!

Mr Devine – I’m sure they would get on – Barney is proving to be very sociable and amenable – he already has a lot of doggy friends. As for handsome – yes, he is the canine equivalent of James Norton.

I am beyond jealous!
He is just gorgeous.
And no, I should not be jealous because I have my own sweet old queen but he is just the bomb and I want to meet every dog

Awww – Thank you, Kylie! He’s a lot of work and I am sooooooo tired, and achey! I think this is probably my last young dog – I’ll try not to wish him older, but I am looking forward to him becoming just a little bit lazier!

Barney is gorgeous and will keep you incredibly busy! How old is he? He is very similar indeed to my dog, Clotty who, at just over a year old, is very demanding.
Hope you’re feeling better now, XXX
