  1. Sometimes a treat is so good it's worth giving it my full attention. I think this Scoops Dog Ice Cream might just be my favourite new thing for a hot summer's day 🐶🍦☀️

  6. 5. A week later and the Mr, the Youngest and myself go back to the #RSPCA. He's brought into the room wearing a cone as he's been castrated. We learn that he's been an 'indoor' dog: never been out walking, never been in a car, not house-trained, never eaten dog food but scavenged human food scraps. Crikey, he looks like he's never eaten at all, his skin is translucent and his body sharp and knobbly, every bone visible.

    He is "10, or he might be 11, we're not really sure" years old and has a grade 4 heart murmur.

    He is anxious, aloof and in desperate need.

    We have what he needs and arrange a meeting for him and Hector, you know, just to see if they get on together...

    His name is Jed and he is the saddest, most elderly, poorly animal in the shelter and his name is already written across our hearts.

  11. 4. Fast forward a number of years and on 13/04/19 I went to find out about volunteering at my local #RSPCA - dog walking, general animal cares, whatever I could do. Whilst there myself and the Youngest had a quick look round... There he was.

    He was standing there shivering, his bony body coiled so tightly the tip of his tail was touching his chest. His ears were drawn backwards close to his head and his eyes, huge and liquid, darting anxiously between us and the wall of the bare, cold pen he was in. Both the Youngest and I lost our hearts.

    That night I told Mr about this pathetic, tiny scrap of a whippet, so insignificant that, although he'd been there over a week, he didn't even have an information sheet attached to his kennel.

    We both looked at Hector, our near-perfect example of how a #whippet should be and made arrangements to go back to the RSPCA, you know, just to find out a bit more about the dog.

  12. The most important aspect of mine and Hector's relationship was the intervention by my friend and dog behavioural psychologist Martina. One hour on the phone to her then putting to practice the wisdom she gave me, changed everything. I would say that she is the reason he continued to live with us (and my children still love me).

    Martina trained me. I became more dog. I still grappled with the fact we had to re-home our cat Sydney (because of the dog), the doors were in an appalling mess (because of the dog), the front window was bare of its blind (because of the dog), Child 2 had no trainers (because of the dog) - the list goes on but you get the picture, dear reader.

    Mr worked really hard to make Hector a model family pet, the kids helped wash the muddy paw prints that appeared everywhere and I used my training to bring out the best in him - and me.

  13. 2. Hector bonded solely and soul-y with his Mr Human. They were one, they understood each other completely so when Mr left for work every morning Hector fell apart. Seperation anxiety. When I left for the school run, various playgroups, shopping, whatever, Hector wrecked our house. Decimated it. Chewed doors to matchsticks kind of thing. Those memes you see of doggy destruction? True stories. On his first birthday he bit me. I took this picture on the day:

  14. 1. 03/09/09 'Delightful Doc' Hector was born, one of seven siblings. Eight weeks later he came to live with us. I was at home with a 1yo, a 4yo, a 10yo and this tiny four-legged whirl-wind.

    Being a total, complete cat lady, I finally bonded with this monster seven years later.

  16. The Mole 🐾 in what he thinks is his natural habitat, if he sees water in any form other than in a bath he’s in it 😂

  17. Throw & fetch 🎾 at the beach went a tad strange when Mole 🐾 found a huge c<>k & balls.
    I don’t think it’s a beach #banksy 😂
