Waiting for the Sun … ~ Pet Photography UK

Well, we were dressed and ready to head out for our little afternoon walk when the rain hit, hard. I think there was some hail too. Since pup is not fond of cold and rain, I decided we’d wait a while to see if it cleared. In the meantime, we settled onto the sofa for a little snuggle and a listen to some music.

I noticed the other day while listening to Absolute Radio 60s (my current favourite radio station), that Daisy was fascinated with the start of You Can’t Always Get What You Want by the Rolling Stones. Rather an apt song for a pup too, I thought, so I bought it for her today. We listened to that and then put on some Alison Krauss, which Daisy rather liked too (great taste, Daisy!) and she drifted off to sleep, snuggled on my lap.

The rain stopped and the sun came out a little, so we decided to brave it, but first I HAD to take a few photographs, because she looked so very cute – don’t you agree?

I’m not someone that always dresses up their dogs* but she couldn’t help being born in the winter and from a socialisation point of view, who doesn’t want to say hello to a cute puppy wearing a pink fleece hoodie?!:wink:

*Though I do love  Thundershirts to help reduce anxiety – and bandanas because I think they look good. We won’t mention the pink tutu though, not just yet.

Butter Wouldn’t Melt

I took this photograph of Daisy, our new rescue pup, today. Isn’t she beautiful? She can be a little monkey though, in true puppy style.

We have been taking her out and about to socialise her. Unfortunately the weather has been terrible and she’s not a fan of wind and rain, so we’ve had to work around the weather, but we had the first nice day today, in weeks, so managed to spend a decent amount of time outside.

I saw a link to this article on socialising a puppy online. Lots of great suggestions, some of which I had already planned for, but it’s good to have others to consider. Fingers crossed the weather stays calmer and dryer now.

Happy Birthday to one of the Poochie Freak Family

My darling rescue Labrador girl is four today. We had hoped to go for a lovely walk in the woods, but the weather is horrendous – lots of wind and rain – and so we have had to postpone the wood walk for fear of a tree falling on us!

I did take her some free range chicken in (our) bed this morning, while she was snuggled up under a blanket. She had a new chewy too, with more treats to come later and hopefully a wood walk later in the week when the weather clears.

She is SUCH a special girl. So loving, gentle, sweet, sensitive, snuggly and of course beautiful. Huge thanks to a couple of people who made it possible for us to adopt our girl.

Happy Birthday beautiful girl, we love you so very much xxx

Merry Christmas from Poochie Freak

Hello all, it’s been a few weeks since my last blog as I have  had a rather horrid lurgy and I have been otherwise very busy. I just wanted to wish everyone who visits this blog, a very Merry Christmas. I hope you all have a peaceful and relaxing few days with your loved ones, including your wonderful animal friends:)

I also want to introduce a new member of our family – little Daisy Doodle:)She is a little rescue pup whose mother, a gorgeous Staffie, was found abandoned in a field a few months ago:(Thankfully for Mum and pups, a lovely couple took them in and have cared for them all until they were ready to find new homes. Daisy has come to live with us and her siblings have been adopted too and Mum should be off to her new home soon too.

If you are not a fan of animals wearing anything other than their own fur, I suggest you look away now, because these photos are too cute not to share! Daisy is gorgeous, very sweet, very smart and into EVERYTHING. If you are looking for an easy dog, don’t get a puppy! She is certainly keeping me on my toes:)I have her down as a Staffie x Shark (sharp puppy teeth!) x Guinea Pig (squeaks) x Tiger (pounces) x Mountain Goat (likes to climb to see what mischief she can make) at the moment! She is very snuggly too, when she’s relaxed – and her snoring is unbelievably loud and cute!

I’ve been sad to see how many puppies are being advertised for sale at this time of year, as Christmas presents etc. You’d have thought the message would have got through by now, but it seems people still have priorities other than welfare:(I dread to think how many will end up thrown out when their new owners realise how much work puppies are and that they don’t come ready-trained (except in mischief!).

I am thankful that Daisy and her Mum and siblings are some of the lucky ones now though and have found loving forever homes. If you are looking for a Staffie sort (or any other dog), do look at rescue after Christmas, as there are always lots of lovely dogs needing a great home.

Enjoy …:)
