Two hapless labradors: Nancy is the eleven year old black dog with some sense, Lottie is the nine year old brown whirling banshee with absolutely none.

Then with the best will in the world I am going to have to temporarily rescind your standing open invitation to our house, at least for the next five to ten working days.
She is certainly of that opinion.
Don’t. Even. Breathe.
I cry
This would be a revocation of second breakfast worthy action
This is NOT the time for unexpected visitors
I wondered who this would upset (other than, as you can clearly see, Lottie)
I know YOU wouldn’t but can you keep the rest of your rabble in line too?
Happy gotcha day Bogie!
Alt description: for the first time in living memory, all SIX (6) dogs currently residing in my house are lying down quietly. Remember that saying about sleeping dogs? If any of you make a sound and disrupt these creatures I am prepared to press charges.
Don’t you DARE disturb any of these dogs
Happy birthday pal!
Oh so close: that’s a cloud
And such a sweet little pink nose
Me too. Someone should study the magnetic force field created between a dog and a mat unrolled on the floor.

To everyone’s surprise, Biscuit found Lottie’s limit
The little dangling white sock paws 😂
Also relevant to cauliflower
I fear not enough attention is given to the prettiness of his eyes and his fancy eye make up
Toby: “hey kid, kid, hey, you wanna learn how to do this? Yeah? Pretty cool huh? I do all my own stunts. I’ll teach you”
He loves to cuddle. He doesn’t have many teeth left so dribbles a lot in his sleep and he’s a bit whiffy, but Nancy is very sweet with him.
Buddy made this choice non optional but who wouldn’t want to snuggle up together?
They’ve sort of grown up together - there’s only a few months between them. So quite sweet that they’re enjoying retirement together
Spotted a pocket and happily snuck himself in. Blep on account of very few teeth.
@deepshrm.bsky.social will be pleased
The tongue wanted to take a peep at what was happening too.
Hot water bottle
Ladies and gentlemen, a round of applause! That’s so impressive. Do you even have the smallest bud of an idea for the yorkie? Little hint for you there.
More on this story as we get it please, field reporter
Ha they’ve turned you into a canine trebuchet!
No one else even brave enough to be a pretender to the Pippy throne
She’s too sensible to be involved in this melee
Nancy has very wisely taken refuge in the kitchen
Ok look this is EXTREMELY mean but as a pop quiz I would LOVE to see if @deepshrm.bsky.social can name all these dogs she’s never met. I fully back her.
Here’s my limit: Lottie can officially finish her dinner before I have time to feed the rest
Oh I’m so so sorry. She seemed like such a lovely dog, and such a matriarch. It must be so hard for all of you. Sending lots of love.

A moment of weekend calm
Oh that’s a good day of eating!
Please don’t insult our boy’s intelligence like this again
Yeah like THIMBLE sized toy boxes.
Phew that’s a massive relief because I’ve been concerned for a long time about the absolute dearth of toys you have to suffer through
I think they must mean “up to know good”. As in you woke up and now that you’re conscious you know what is good and will always choose that course of action. It’s the only logical explanation.
So basically huge success
Hope you’re top of the class!
It’s too many dogs
I LOVE this strategic planning pals. Sorry your humans aren’t smart enough for it.
Oh that is a HAPPY dog who knows she’s landed on her feet!
And a bouncing ball above your porch too. 😂
Oh so we’re fine with just potentially poisoning the sailing instructors then are we??
Here’s looking at ewe
I’m actually *supremely* intelligent because I was aware of this
No end up your talents
You give him that many dogs to supervise and you expect him to stay still??
I missed the sneeze and got the nose scritches
Right so she doesn’t want to do the paperwork, Brawny finds an innovative solution to make that reality, and instead of being grateful and showering him with treats she grasses him up??
Alt description: picture a very smiley, waggy, happy little labrador standing with all four feet on the ground. Then invert that image and get to dishing out the belly rubs.
Every so often we shut the little dogs out of the room and Nancy adopts the tummy time position.
Shaking her head slowly from side to side so she can take it all in and really appreciate the effort you’ve put in here, right?
And also, crucially, he is called Peter.
Like these are BASIC asks? Come on lady. It’s not like it’s hard. Ever heard of a little something called customer service??
But then it’ll be fresh sheets so she can’t come up for evening snuggles?
I’m just saying I feel like getting a puppy is more for me than the dogs. What would a Lottie friendly breakfast in bed even be??
GOOD GIRL KARLEIGH
Look how athletic you are! It must have been just what you needed!
You look SO comfy!
Yes that’s true, she wouldn’t like anything too out of the ordinary. I guess it has to be food
It’s not MY birthday. I’d be open to breakfast in bed but she’s not the neatest eater and she doesn’t like bed sheet change day so it would be a bit self defeating
BBQ attendees having to be physically restrained for their own good
You see it’s the difficulty of balancing a super fun day and also not having her burst from too much food
NASA baffled as to why intelligent life forms are not making contact with us. Turns out they’re all quaking in their space boots.
Oh come on now, you’re describing standard Birthday but this is our little girl reaching double digits!! I really want to kick it up a notch @marions.bsky.social @skylabear.bsky.social
Boiler man messaged me to say he was eyeing up those great boxes. Safest to guard them.
You know them too well. This was a direct response to Nancy implementing the “too hot to be cuddling” protocol
No risk of alien invasion at your place!
I would like to make very clear that I do not see this list as exhaustive
It’s right under her nose
Lottie does this too!!! Most uncomfortable pillow ever but if I move them out of her way she gets up and lies on them again 😂
What a happy girl!
This is SO good
Happy gotcha day!
Ok I’m trying to decide on the cutest element: A) pink little tongue B) turned out front feet C) little dainty back feet D) all of the above
I could not empathise with this more strongly 😂 enjoy/be concerned about your personal space queen
Oh my GOODNESS you look so adorable I don’t know how she is resisting rubbing that sweet belly
Oh when you *know* how gorgeous you are (and you are ENTIRELY correct)
I have no idea what you mean Luna? Both very polite and dainty, right?
So glad that the bank holiday allows them to take a break from their usual hectic work schedule
I REALLY need your help on ideas for her birthday
The risk of overheating when wearing a hot water bottle as a nighttime scarf during an August heatwave is significant. I keep waking up with her fluff in my mouth, and she kicks me in the face when she dream runs. Lottie’s main interest in whether I have an empty hand which needs a dog to stroke.
Passenger princesses
HA what a lovely memory. It sounds like he was a proper character.
Thankfully Lottie doesn’t have to worry about that 🧠 😂
Old labs are my favourite kind of labs I think
Some days you just have to give in to Lottiedom
This one has been a particular hit with Lottie actually. She’s nailing usage too. I guess they’re all growing up
