A walk around Windermere

I had a pawsome pre-Christmas walk around Lake Windermere yesterday. The weather has turned colder the last few days making the autumn leaves go all crunchy under your paws and the cold air makes everything smelled amazing too. I was apparently dragging dad left, right and centre going from one smell to another.

Breakfast with Dad

Dad took me out for breakfast today, I had sausage, egg, toast and a taste of the black pudding. Dad doesn't share bacon.

Has anyone seen Ziggy ?

Has anyone seen Ziggy? It has gone rather quiet.

Remembrance Sunday

Today I am proudly wearing my Pets at Home Poppy on my collar in remembrance of all the brave men, women and animals who gave there lives in WW1.

Ear wax.

Hey guys, I have just discovered a new delicacy kitten ear wax. For those pups out there who are wondering what I am doing with a cat, this is my new little bro Ziggy.

Introducing my little brother.

This a very quiet hi everyone, just checking to introduce you to my new little bro Ziggy. I think I finally got him to go to sleep 💤

Wag Wednesday and Welsh Wednesday too.

I had a pawsome walk around Bodnant Garden last week and mum managed it too, even with her broken front paw. She even took a few pictures holding her camera with one paw. Her big camera is in hibernation until she can use two paws again.

National Dog Day

Happy National Dog Day everyone.

World Photography Day

Today is "World Photography Day" so dad thought he would teach me how to take pictures. He wouldn’t let me use his current camera I had to use this old one which takes "film" whatever that is.

Simply the Best ( in Wales that is ).

This week I had a brilliant "Wales Wednesday" day out on my favourite beach in the whole wide world or probably just Wales. The beach at Barmouth is simply the best.

Rain

Hey everyone, there is something funny happening outside I think it’s called rain.It hasn’t rained since we moved to the seaside a month ago. Mum says the garden needs it but I have got my harness on already for a Sunday stroll with dad.

Friday Feeling

I’ve really got the Friday feeling today, not sure exactly what it is but it smells brilliant. Mum’s really going to love me when I get home. Happy Friyay everyone.

Footballs Coming Home - World Cup Russia 2018

#footballiscominghome apparently I didn’t realise it had ever gone away. I love football ⚽️ it involves playing with a ball after all. What’s not to like ⚽️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿⚽️

Do you like butter ?

Mum says that if you hold a fresh buttercup flower under your chin If a yellow reflection from the flower's shiny petals can be seen under the chin, the person is said to "like butter".  Not sure if it works for doodles or even if butter is good for dogs or not.

Doodle Club

This weekend was pawsome I went a meeting of the Doodle Dog Club at the Dogs Country Club I made lots of new friends including Wilfred  Betsy, George,  Ralph,  Bracken Marshall & Skye and the lightning fast Molly. Some of us got a bit wet and others ( including me ) just waited as Ralph’s mum tried to have her lunch. Looking forward to the next one.

Telling the Time

Mum has been in an educational mood again, this weeks lesson at Bodnant garden was what all about sundials apparently they help humans tell the time of day. We canines however always know what time tea time is wherever we are in the world. 

Dancing with Daffodils

I enjoyed my first "Wag Wednesday" at Bodnant Garden NT last night. "And then my heart with pleasure fills, And dances with the daffodils” by a gentleman called William Wordsworth (Mum is in a poetic mood).

Going for Gold on the Gold Coast

Today I am supporting all the competitors competing from England, Scotland and Wales in the Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast of sunny Australia 🇦🇺 Going for Gold on the Gold Coast 🏅🏊‍♂️🚴‍♂️🏊‍♀️🏅

Hoppy Easter Everyone

 After the disaster with the rabbit ears, last year mum decided that we would go with the natural look this year. Hoppy Easter Everyone

Bailey goes to Aviemore.

This week I went to the Cairngorms which are in Scotland which is a very long way when your just a little dog. We stayed in a place called Aviemore in a building called a hotel, apparently this was no ordinary hotel it was a Hilton which is a very special one.

I got to watch whatever channel I wanted on the TV whilst mum and dad went for their meals. I wasn't allowed to go into the restaurant which is probably as well as I can get a little excited when there is food around. I was very envious of my mum and dad because they always came back smelling wonderful. Apparently, you can have as many sausages as you like for breakfast. Sounds like doodle heaven.

 Mum had bought me a special Stewart Tartan banana for the holiday. So I had to sit through a talk about the importance of the Clan Tartan’s in Scottish history before I could go out and play.

On Tuesday we went on a trip to Loch Garten to see the Crested Tits, they are really really tiny little bids which like to live in this part of Scotland. Mum got really excited when one showed up and she looks lots of pictures. I have to be very patient and it’s best if I don’t bark. I have got to admit bird watching is a bit boring but whatever makes mum and dad happy is good for me too.

Wednesday morning and I had a wonderful surprise, it has been snowing. I just love snow. The hotel has woods behind it with lots of paths and trails, dad took me on lots of walks. The smells where amazing especially first thing in a morning there are where lots of little animals and birds, best of all are the little red squirrels. I am used to the grey ones we have at home but the red ones speak Scottish, which takes a bit of getting used to.  We went to Loch Morlich which had some funny stuff called ice in the water. It stuck to my nose and was very cold.

Thursday we went up a mountain called the Cairngorm, I have never seen so much snow. I wanted to have a go at Skiing but they didn’t have any ski’s to fit doodles so I had a go at belly surfing instead. 

Friday morning we did a bit more bird watching. We could hear funny noises in the hills behind us which was apparently the Red Grouse calling, the males can be a little grumpy at this time of the year, so it’s best not to try and talk to them.

Friday afternoon and I am feeling very sad as we have to go home but I had the best time ever. Bye, Bye Hilton Coylumbridge we will be back again soon. 

It's cold ..........

Yep, it's still me I have just had a rather serious fur cut ✂️ Mum told dad to use a number 6 because it’s still chilly but he got carried away and used a number 4 😟 Mum says it will soon grow back and decided that since the sun was shining we should all go to the beach.

5000 Followers

Wow, I am totally gobsmacked, I cannot believe that over 5000 people and paw friends would follow a little doodle called Bailey on Twitter ( @Baileythedoodle ).

Fur Cut

Soggy Sunday.

Sunday morning and I am bored.

It's just another Soggy Sunday ♫

 it's supposed to be my fun day ♫

Mud, mud, glorious mud 🎶

You may have noticed Mum doesn’t normally post pictures of muddy me, because she hates mud 😠 However, it’s been so wet recently and I was in need of a good Zoomie she made an exception.

Mud, mud, glorious mud 🎶
Nothing quite like it for cooling the blood 🎶
So follow me follow, down to the hollow 🎶
And there let me wallow in glorious mud 🎶

Had a brilliant day today first, the man from Fetch came and brought me a brilliant new flashing ball and then we went to the beach and you all know how much I love running on sand. Happy Weekend
