Searching for a playmate! Waffles is looking for another hunting breed whose people would be interested in cross training with him. He is very sweet and I am sure it would be lots of fun. So if you have a welshie, any other kind of spaniel, a pointer, drahthaar, etc and are interested in chatting please give us a shout!

Dad has started an instagram site. He’s going to talk about growing food, practical investing and how to catch more fish. If any of those topics are of interest you can find him on instagram at . He’ll be sharing across to a page of the same name when he figures out how to do that. 😊

Okay friends, odd request time!

I have a set a New Years goal of petting a puppy every month. Mostly because I needed something fun and silly to focus on in a busy and stressful world. As many of you know, I have a wonderful dog named Waffles at home. I will not be telling him about this plan 😉

I am now in the process of planning, how can earth can I pet a puppy that regularly? Which leads me to this post. I am wondering, can you help me? If you’re a friend and have a puppy or are getting a puppy, can I come get some snuggles? Or if you have any clever ideas, would you give me a shout? I would be happy to make a donation to their care or bring a bottle of wine or bag of coffee or some treat in exchange. I just needed to set my mind on something fun and whimsical this year, so I am hoping you can help me with this resolution.

Much puppy love! Lauren 🐶 ❤️💕
