I love that this post had strong vibes of ‘What I did in the holidays’ homework! 😆

Sounds like a great holiday- we are having sleepovers and pancakes and dog walks to the play park. Last night I dreamt about drawing ALL NIGHT LONG.

Hope you achieve your Toast Joggers x

I love an everyday story even if it includes routines of an aging Peggy! My dear old dog Rufus was as surprised as me when our mornings had a similar start ! 🤷🏼‍♀️

I miss him a lot but not that bit!

I was promised a dull post and then I got this?! So either I like dull things or this isn’t dull at all. I’m confused now.

(Ps. Had a great time reading it. )

A 9pm impromptu chocolate cake cannot be dull.

This was a treat! I need more "dull" Helen happenings, please! I also have a senior pup who has a tendency to tinkle in the dining room sometimes. He left me a heart-shaped puddle once last year, the little charmer. I have a morning rituals post in drafts for a rainy day and this is making me want to press publish soon to add to the Dullstack!

You tried to be dull, but this actually was entertaining to the last… I also woke to our dog’s ‘biz’ artfully squibbled about on the floor. All hail the washable rug...

Excellent Queenie costume 😂.

Too funny your highness. Get some baby gates and pen her up. Or put her in a kennel. She won’t poop in there. Miles of potty cleanup is the one thing I don’t miss abt my sweet Jack Russell girl Zoe. Now gone. Miss her every day but not the potty. 😔

Oh Peggy, that’s not nice. Our doggies are holidaying in the countryside at the dog sitters while we enjoy the sunshine in Spain. I’m not allowed to complain as we are on holiday, but honestly I think they made the mattress in our room from a concrete slab 😭 the sunshine is nice though!!

Love everything about this…except for the poo, I’m sorry you had to deal with that!!

Our dog seems to have an iron constitution so we’ve not had to deal with that since she was a puppy, although now I’ve written it down she’s probably going to eat a rotting seal at the beach and decorate the house with it tonight!!
