I have the most boring dog

Shopping for xmas...
it's just going to be my flatmate, dog and me and so all I want to do is spoil the pooch with gifts. BUT...

-Pip doesn't play with balls. Correction. She CAN play with balls, but she chooses not to. Doesn't like them apparently.
-Pip doesn't do ropes or chew toys. What's the point?
-Pip used to shred toy rats and mice (the kind that cats usually like). But not anymore. Maybe I bought too many?
-Pip doesn't like stuffed toys. They just sit in her basket for years gathering dust.
-Pip loathes dog clothes. And who can blame her?

In the end I bought her a squeaky ball, a chew toy, a fluffy rat, some fancy dog biscuits, a green bone and a santa suit. You never know... she may like the wrapping paper?

Pip's 5th Birthday



I celebrated my 5th birthday on the 3rd of March. My best friend Q came around to help party...sausages, cake, the lot! Im not too keen on the candles though. Maybe give those a miss next year?
