Last weekend it was our Golden Retriever Billys 6th Birthday! Where has the time gone? It seems like only yesterday we bought home a little fluffy bundle of fun and mischief. He has grown into a lovely boy. So loving, and a real mummys boy.

He is still very cheeky and makes us smile every day. Of course, he celebrated with a run on the beach and lots of new teddies. Happy Birthday Billy-bubs!

After a lazy morning with mummy, while daddy had to go out, the boys were really happy to go to the beach after lunch.

As the weather was so nice, they both went straight into the sea for a splash, and Sam remembered how well he could swim.

The only trouble is that once they are wet, it takes them hours to dry. Finally, after dinner, they were almost dry. But they had an important job to do first. We put their leads back on and walked to the polling station to put our cross on a piece of paper.

Good boys.

Look out for some really beautiful new mini kits coming from me in the next few days. You will love them.

You may remember last ear, my son and his family welcomed a stray 4-week-old kitten into their home and she turned out to be a he.

So Kit, as he is now named, is very settled and has made friends with some of the neighbourhood cats.

There is one in particular that has been hanging out in their garden and next door for a while, tentatively popping in and out of the back door to steal Kits food.

Clearly starving and wanting to be in their house, but a bit too scared to hang around. So they caught her the other day and A took it her the vet, to get a check-up, wormed, de-flead etc.

The vet thinks she is about 6 months old and very cuddly.

She will be staying at the vet cattery for a little while before she goes home to them because…THIS KITTEN IS PREGNANT AND HAVING KITTENS!!

The poor little love is just a baby herself. But she will be so loved and looked after in her new home. Meet Socks!

After deciding to replace the old double bed with a new mattress, we went to our local bedding store. We tried out every mattress in the shop and found that we preferred the feel of a king-size bed.

One bed, in particular, was so comfortable that I almost fell asleep on it. My husband agreed, and we ended up ordering a king-size bed with drawers, a big padded headboard, and a fantastic mattress.

On the delivery day, we realized that our dogs beds wouldnt fit under the new bed, where I usually put them during the day, as it has drawers.

So, I stacked their beds in the spare room and brought them back into our bedroom at night. The other day, I saw Billy trying to sleep on all three beds, which reminded me of the sorry of The Princess and the Pea He looked so cute.

I missed a few postbox toppers as we changed the route of our dog walk, which means I, unfortunately, missed the Easter one.

However, we walked past a new one the other day, and its really lovely.

The postbox topper celebrates 200 years of the RSPCA, and the lady who crafted it has included all sorts of animals such as dogs, cats, horses, foxes, rabbits, and even a hedgehog.

I cant wait to see what the next postbox topper will be! Do you have any guesses?
