Good morning and a very happy sausage Sunday from Ralph! No messing about today, all gone in 40 seconds. I’m off out for a spin on the mountain bike now, so I’ll leave him to sleep then off. Have a great day all. 🐾🐾 #SausageSunday #AdoptDontShop

A cracking 26 mile loop on the mountain bike, taking in the coastal path, Cheshire Lines disused railway line and the Leeds & Liverpool canal. 🚲 Bumped into my mate Eddie & had a brew. That’s set me up nicely for a beer later with Ralph and my old mate & colleague Jeff. 🍺🍺

It’s been too warm to walk Ralph today, so I cycled along the coastal path and went to see my old mate Sid for a cuppa. I really went to see his rescue Lurcher Tigger, but don’t tell Sid that. πŸ€«πŸ˜‹πŸΎπŸΎ #AdoptDontShop

Just two adopted souls enjoying each other’s company and a spot of sun puddling this morning. 🌞🐾🐾 Both Ralph the Lurcher and Ember the cat faced very uncertain futures before I adopted them. But now they’re safe & loved and that’s all that matters. #AdoptDontShop

Meet Ted, the Norfolk Terrier pup. Isn’t he just adorable? 😍 I was on my bike, so Ralph didn’t get to meet him, although he will in the near future. He’s owned by my mate Pete, who lost Max the Border Terrier last year, aged 18.5 years. Max was Muttley’s big brother. 🐾🐾

This is what I got home to following my bike ride earlier. Neither of them could be bothered to get up and say hello to me. πŸ™„πŸ˜πŸΎπŸΎ #BestMatesForever #AdoptDontShop

I’ve just got off the phone and noticed that Lord Ralphington had disappeared. He’d taken himself upstairs to chill out and to support the bedroom wall to stop it from collapsing! πŸ™„πŸ˜‚ Goodnight all. Until tomorrow. 🐾🐾 #Walldozing #LazyLurcher

A lovely walk along the beach at Formby point this morning. We bumped into old friends and new friends and Ralph enjoyed doing zoomies up and down the sand dunes. Then his favourite bit of the walk, slurping the leftover coffee froth from my cup. ☺️ #AdoptDontShop

Needless to say, that following our trip to the beach earlier, Ralph is zorsted. 😴 He’s indulging in a spot of walldozing again. This time, he’s helping to hold up the living room wall. πŸ™„πŸ˜‚ #LazyLurcher

Good morning and a very happy sausage Sunday from Lord Ralphington! He polished off his bowlful of bangers in just under a minute and is still polishing the bowl with his tongue as we speak. πŸ˜‹ Much to do today. Have a great day folks! 🐾🐾 #SausageSunday.

We’ve not long returned from a four mile stroll around the wildflower meadow. Needless to say, his Lordship is zorsted and participating in a spot of walldozing once more. πŸ˜΄πŸ™„ #LazyLurcher #AdoptDontShop

I’ve just got out of the shower and walked into the bedroom to find Ralph like this. I don’t think that bedroom wall is going to collapse anytime soon! πŸ™„πŸ˜‚ #LazyLurcher #AdoptDontShop #Walldozing

Meet Lulu, a dainty and elegant Lurcher - possibly a Whippet x Saluki - standing just 21” to the shoulder and weighing 15kg. Around 18 months to 2 years old, Lulu is a sweet, slightly shy girl with a cheeky little Saluki sparkle that shines once she feels safe and secure #k9hour

Lord Ralphington was out for a walk early today, so needless to say he’s zorsted now. 😴 I had a mare of a bike ride earlier. After seeing my mate Sid & his rescue Lurcher Tigger for a cuppa, I set off home again, only to pick up a puncture & get stung by a wasp. Ouch! 😬🐝
