Meet Phoebe








This is Phoebe the minature daschund. She belongs to my mum & dad, well my mum. They went to pick her up yesterday. She's 8 & a bit weeks old, she kept them awake all last night, with her crying, as she was taken away from Rusty & Ruby, her mum & dad, see below & her brothers & sisters, that are now all sold! They came to visit today & little LuLu was rather over excited to see her. Little Phoebe is really unsure of everything at the moment & has been drinking puppy milk, but nothing solid, as of yet, so hopefully she'll eat something tonight, or she may have to go to the vets for a little boost of vitamins. Bless her. Lets hope she settles a bit better tonight than last night.

With Rusty, the dad, Ruby, the mum & her little brother :)

Furry Friends Saturday

Saturday again... err sorry about that!

Today we're introducing the handsome Sid, who only has 3 legs, aww! He belongs to Rebecca (who actually makes lovely jewellery, so go check out her shop)

I love in these photos he looks very uninterested in the first & having a bit snuggle in the second... having love when he wants it... in true cat style! I really like pets with human names, it's so cute.




This little fellow is Kibbles, Rebecca's mum's little daschund. I'm in love :)


Have a good bank holiday weekend. What are you & your furry friends up to?

Bow ties, squeaks & some cute

These are just a few things that have caught my eye over the last week or so. There's such a choice when it comes to things to buy for your beloved furry friends, for them to play with/eat/scratch/squeak, or for you to dress them in/bath them with/spray on them.

This lovely pastel handmade cat toy by Eidelweiss is sure to keep your feline friend occupied.


Check out these little chaps. A more portable version of your favourite furry friend.
This little mousy from Thingers & Fumbs is super cute & even has a little nappy on!

I like the little face on this little Hotdog & Me chap.




I wish my cat would wear a little bow tie like this.

Too cute.
Very smart.
Possibly my favourite, Chloe Bow will even make the tie longer, free of charge, if you like.



I've also noticed a doggy dedicated blog, by Forever Foxed. Who makes cards, badges and lots more, inspired by everyones best friend :)

My favourite item is this Terrier tea towel.


It's really not like me at all to be topical... but I noted Pets at Home were doing these. Something for your dog to chew on maybe.

I love this Leopard print personalized ID tag I may even get one for Lulu
Not impressed...

Furry Friends Friday (sort of)

It's Saturday, oops... sorry about that.

There was no doubt about which cheeky little chap we wanted for our first Furry Friends Friday.


The lovey Helen of Storeyshop (she makes the most amazing peronalized hand cut cards, don't you know) owns this rather cheeky fella of a chinchilla, Seb. He's no ordinary chinchilla however, he's 18, maybe 19, legally allowed to drink little chinchilla pints.

He joined Helen in 1991 & has lived with her in 2 houses in Sussex, a house in Bath & now with her & the new hubby in Northumberland. He accompanied her all the way through Uni... let's face it, it was probably a miracle he didn't get stood on or drunk, maybe he even joined them with beans on toast. I'd like to think he did.

Every good chinchilla knows, to be part of the family,
sitting at the table at dinner time is a must




Like any furry little critter he likes to chew through things, ruin new things and demands food with cute little gestures. How can you say no to this little face?

Not being allowed at the table means showing how
disgruntled he is by dropping juice from an orange on
the floor. Obviously.



We may ask if he'd do us the honour of sporting a little bow tie or waist coat - just for us. I feel he's a rather mature & demure character & possibly wouldn't humour us. So we'll let him off. Although personally I think I'd quite like to see him in a little bow tie.

Oh & a big congratulations to Seb's mum & dad who got married a week ago today :)

Gourmet Treats




As if our cats and doggies aren't spoilt enough, but both Abbie and I have been toying with the idea of making and sampling our own handmade pet treats. My cat is a bit of a fussy one, but I think as long as they included cheese and have a lickable character he might just like them.

I found this great pet treat shop on Etsy called Poocheze, which sells some fabulously gourmet looking dog and cat treats for the truly spoilt pet. Unfortunately we can't order from Poocheze since we're in the UK, but they definitely have raised the bar when it comes to trying our first recipe.

And here is a feline taking advantage of those freshly made treats.
