Just two adopted souls enjoying each otherโ€™s company and a spot of sun puddling this morning. ๐ŸŒž๐Ÿพ๐Ÿพ. Both Ralph the Lurcher and Ember the cat faced very uncertain futures before I adopted them. But now theyโ€™re safe & loved and thatโ€™s all that matters. #AdoptDontShop

It would have been my old dadโ€™s 90th birthday today. Ralph & I have been to visit his grave and now heโ€™s back home, snoozing with Ember the cat. We also met our lovely friend Olivia the dog walker. ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿพ. Ralph adores her & the bum scritches he gets from her. ๐Ÿ˜‹

Itโ€™s been too warm to walk Ralph today, so I cycled along the coastal path and went to see my old mate Sid for a cuppa. I really went to see his rescue Lurcher Tigger, but donโ€™t tell Sid that. ๐Ÿคซ๐Ÿ˜‹๐Ÿพ๐Ÿพ. #AdoptDontShop

A cracking 26 mile loop on the mountain bike, taking in the coastal path, Cheshire Lines disused railway line and the Leeds & Liverpool canal. ๐Ÿšฒ. Bumped into my mate Eddie & had a brew. Thatโ€™s set me up nicely for a beer later with Ralph and my old mate & colleague Jeff. ๐Ÿบ๐Ÿบ

Good morning and a very happy sausage Sunday from Ralph! . No messing about today, all gone in 40 seconds. Iโ€™m off out for a spin on the mountain bike now, so Iโ€™ll leave him to sleep then off. Have a great day all. ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿพ. #SausageSunday.#AdoptDontShop

And so to bed for Lord Ralphington. ๐Ÿฅฑ๐Ÿ˜ด. Itโ€™s been quite a restful day for his Lordship as I had stuff to be cracking on with. He did manage to walk 5 miles though, hence why heโ€™s zorsted. Goodnight all. Until tomorrow ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿพ. #AdoptDontShop.#LazyLurcher

Zorsted. ๐Ÿ˜ด. He has two beds pushed together as heโ€™s so long and still he canโ€™t manage to lie on either one of them! ๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿ˜. In his defence, weโ€™ve had a very sociable weekend (ahem๐Ÿบ), topped off with a 6 mile walk earlier with my girlfriend. Goodnight all. Until tomorrow. ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿพ

Itโ€™s a lazy start to sausage Sunday today. We all enjoyed an afternoon and evening meeting up with friends, including Rosie the Whippet. Rosie & Ralph. Has quite a nice ring to it doesnโ€™t it? . Have a great day! ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿพ. #SausageSunday.#AdoptDontShop

Mr June, aka Lord Ralphington loafing around the garden this evening. Iโ€™d been doing some work inside the house and came outside to find him quietly lying on the lawn enjoying the birdsong. I love how he now feels confident enough to take himself off outside. #AdoptDontShop

Zorsted ๐Ÿ˜ด. Itโ€™s warm here, so Iโ€™ve deployed the fan on its maximum setting for his Lordship. Weโ€™ve been quiet as Iโ€™ve been busy getting the house valued. Two days before, the bloody washing machine packed in and flooded the kitchen floor. ๐Ÿ™„. All sorted now. #LazyLurcher

Lord Ralphingtonโ€™s taken himself upstairs to indulge in a bit of walldozing. Heโ€™s walked around 7 miles on the beach today, so Iโ€™ll let him off. Goodnight all. Until tomorrow ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿพ. #LazyLurcher.#AdoptDontShop
