Christmas Blues

This time of year is extremely difficult, on the outside I'm all smiles and Happy Christmas, but on the inside I just can't wait for December to be over

For most of my adult life I've opted to work on Christmas Day and avoid it altogether if I can

Top knots - They're a part of Spaniels you either love or hate

Boris standing in the woods wearing his green fleece jumper and royal blue collar, his head is turned to the side and his top knot is sticking right up in a punk style Mohican

Personally I'm not a fan of them,

Halloween 🎃🎃🎃

Happy Hallowen everypawdy 

Hope you all have a grand evening, although we'll be staying in with mum and dad as it'll be too scary for us pups to venture outside with all the noise

Eyes on the Prize
