A wet, miserable, thoroughly dreich day in Scotland 🌧️
The snow and ice have surrendered into puddles, and the rain is enthusiastically increasing the stock levels.
Dogs have been informed, politely, that there will be no grand adventures this afternoon.
First Dryrobe w*nk*r (walker obviously) of the season spotted. Me!
Cold, wet, dreich. Dogs still insist on still going out.
Wee walk with little brothers whilst Albert and Bera are out with friends and their dog walker
To the person who said we’re getting BORING posting similar photos… Bera wholeheartedly agrees 🥱
We’re not “social media influencers” chasing likes at trendy locations. We’re just dog lovers sharing snapshots of our life, our dogs - right here at home. There’s a difference.
Smoking is bad. But smoking a pipe is classy.
You may be cool but you’ll never be as cool as a regal Labrador imagining he’s an aristocrat with a pipe. 🧐
Im 40.
I celebrated with dogs and cake.
I'm old, but I have dogs and cake.
I let small annoyances build today, mostly from my own stubbornness. Then stepped outside with the dogs and realised I live in the middle of a postcard. Perspective’s a good cure for pettiness.
How lucky am I to call this home.
Last night of my 30s. Went wild. Took the dogs out, picked up after them, came home before it got dark. Watch out if you’re out and about tonight. This boy’s off the rails. But only till about 8 o’clock when he goes to bed. Crazy.
Five years ago today, at 11:11am, we lost our boy. My soulmate, my purpose, my best friend. Bert was the gentlest soul.
Not a day passes that I don’t think of my special boy. The one who started it all. Until we are together again. And what a glorious day that will be ❤️
Bert 2010-2020 🌈
She's stolen my favourite birthday antler. If you would be so kind as to send HELP... immediately.
Thank you
Happiest of happy birthdays to our wonderful boy, Albert.
Five years have flown by far too fast, but in that time you’ve given us endless love, countless smiles, and memories that light up every single day - especially when we needed it most, in the shadow left after Bert passed.
Sunday morning fetch team: two fetching dogs and one old man, only good for kicking the ball.
The real reason dinosaurs are extinct? Dogs.
Poor dinosaurs never stood a chance.
Happy Gotcha Day, Bera! 🌟
Four years ago today, our family became complete when you came home to join us. From the very first wag of your tail, you filled our lives with joy and laughter, and you’ve been a constant source of love ever since.
Albert and Bera
“The journey begins in fields well-known… but cross a bridge, and you may find yourself stepping into something altogether unexpected... the beginning of an adventure.”
Two good dogs. Hills. Blue skies. All boxes ticked.
Nothing better ❤️
Happiest of birthdays to my favourite little girl, Bera - Four today 🎁
She celebrated with a 4.30am beach run (to beat the tide, obviously) and a lunchtime Janettas ice cream. Sassy, sweet, and just wants to be near the people she loves most. Love you so much, lil lady ❤️
Dreich above, fog in the distance, wind and rain horizontal. Welcome to July in Scotland.
The Anatomy of Anticipation: A Study in Ball Ball
If you’d indulge us and wish a heavenly happy birthday to the dog who started it all…
Happiest of happy birthdays to our best friend, Bert.
15 today. Loved as much today as the day we met, and the day we last held you in our arms.
Have as much cake as you want, goodest boy.
🌈🎂

The Life and Adventures of Bert is now available on
Amazon.com and
Audible.com.
I know some of you kindly bought Bert’s book and not everyone gets the chance to sit down and read. I also remember a few of you mentioning how you love audiobooks...
Well listen as you walk your dog!
Never been more ‘pleased’ with himself. Two premium sticks and a scenic backdrop. What more could a gentleman require?
In the light of a long evening, simply majestic.
When you can't choose - have both!
Babysitting Maci today. After a lovely stretch of Scottish sunshine, I think this morning was her very first taste of proper heavy rain since joining the family.
And she did not approve.
Cue the hissy fits. The stubborn streak. The dramatic grumping.
Absolutely adorable.
Wishing you a braw day, fae Scotland. No, Albert, I said braw, not baw 🐶⚽. Now relax. Hope everyone has a proper cracker of a day ☀️.
The only way to spend a Scottish "heatwave" 💦
Albert struck a flamingo pose, one paw raised in pure anticipation, as he waited for the ball to be thrown into the sea 🌊 🦩
Bera stood no chance this time!
It’s like that moment in The Karate Kid—one leg up, total focus. You just know it’s all over.
The female of the species is deadlier than the male… and Bera proves it. Albert, Arthur, and Brodie wouldn’t dare challenge her - then Maci arrives!
Let the battle for the crown begin! 👑
Drool: Nature’s ball lubricant. Enhancing speed - scientific, probably.
A beautiful morning hike with Albert and Bera, and a special visit from big brother Bert in the form of a rainbow. Always with us. 🌈💕
Puppy Albert ❤️ 🛁
Saturday Sunrise 🌞
Managed to fit in a short hill walk before sunset after school! A glorious evening stroll with my favourites - a lovely end to the day 🌞
A warm evening, a golden sky—just the perfect time to play, smile, and enjoy the moment 🌞 😊 💦
Another beautiful weekend in the "Kingdom of Fife" 🏴
Our morning beach run was momentarily paused by a little seal, resting after a long night at sea. Ball back in the pocket, dogs off-leash but kept at a respectful distance. A quiet moment to appreciate the beauty of nature.
Glorious morning 🌞
When the prosecution presented this photo in court, Albert didn’t have a leg to stand on.
Verdict: Guilty.
Not every day is all sunshine and good vibes, and that’s okay. Some days feel a little off—but a walk, some fresh air, and a moment of gratitude can make all the difference. Life is good, even on the quieter days.
Thankful.
🌞 Today, the sun shone brightly, casting a warm golden glow through the window - a welcome contrast to our 'refreshing' morning play and swim down the river 🥶 💦
When your best mate gets injured and has to wear a bandage, you wear one too—so they never feel alone. That’s what best friends do.
Hey Team! Wishing you all a fantastic day—hope something great comes your way! What’s making you smile today?
Lab Kings & Queen — about to drop the most legendary hip-hop album cover of 2025.
Join us on our Sunday morning Scottish hill walk.
Ladies and gentlemen, Albert has just graced the television on BBC Scotland with his presence - Scotland's Weather: Storm Eowyn.
As you can see, his international fame hasn’t changed him in the slightest. Still the same old Albert ⭐🐶
