A diary of my ‘ruff’ reality
In my head this page is filled with regular updates of hilarious stories about Clover that I have to share with you all. In reality, I probably won’t have that many things to write about.
Dog ownership is amazing, rewarding, heart warming and the best thing I’ve ever done. It is also extremely hard and it can also be mundane. So, rather than writing constantly about mine and Clovers days (which all largely consist of two walks together and then lap cuddles), I will instead only write when there is something to tell, when things get hard or when things are particularly great.
Hopefully this way I won’t bore all three people who are reading this (thanks by the way!), and instead it will prove useful content which shows the highs and the lows of owning a fluffy little best mate.

*Disclaimer- I have no animal related qualifications whatsoever. Which begs the question as to exactly how much of my advice you should take. This isn’t really an advice blog- not properly. It’s more of a ‘these are my experiences- maybe we can all learn from them’ type of blog. You should seek actual qualified veterinary/animal behaviourist/dog dietician advice if you genuinely have any dog related concerns. I’m just here to share the things I’ve learnt in my three years of dog ownership. Some of which may be useful- some not.*
