Sepia Saturday: Exploring the marshes

Posted on Saturday, 7 June 2014

Just off the Tarka Trail is this awesome marshland covered in long grass. It's brilliant fun to hide in. There's lots of plants and sticks to eat and chew on in there too.

FitDog Friday: See me run!

Posted on Friday, 6 June 2014

I may not be the fastest or have the most stamina but still... Nothing beats a good sprint along the Tarka Trail :)

Being a French Bulldog, I don't need much exercise. In fact, I require no more than an hour a day! This works well for me as it allows more time for my favourite activity... Snoozing!

As a breed, we have fairly low energy levels which we tend to expel in short, comical bursts. Even though we are champion couch potatoes, we still need to be taken for a walk at least once a day to help keep us at a healthy weight - even if it's only 15 minutes.

Don't let us over do it though, as our flat faces can sometimes make it difficult for us to catch our breath. On hotter days, we should be walked early in the mornings or later in the evenings.

See me run!

Wordless Wednesday: Awaiting the arrival of my baby brother

Posted on Wednesday, 4 June 2014

Any day now...

Mum's been teaching me which toys are mine to play with and which are the baby's.

It's Wednesday which means we're taking part in the Wordless Wednesday blog hop hosted by blogpaws.

Monday Mischief: Doggie DIY

Posted on Monday, 2 June 2014

I wouldn't call it 'mischief'... More like 'being super-dooper helpful'!
On Saturday's post (Sepia Saturday: I have Broadband!! Yay!) I briefly wrote about how my dad has been busy redecorating the house. We've improved the house so much since moving in a few weeks ago. We quickly replaced the grimy grey carpets with wooden laminate, painted over the sickly yellow walls with lots of white paint and replaced the granny net curtains with wooden venetian blinds. We wish we'd taken some 'before' photos to show you as the difference is incredible.
