So, it's been a little while since my last blog post and I hear people have been crying out for my return to the blog.
I can't say I blame you, I am fabulous!
Just look at me leap…
Leeeaaaappp!
Sorry, getting a bit carried away.
I suppose I should start at the beginning. The million year voyage.
Now, I hope you'll understand I'm not exaggerating when I say it took us a million years to get to the hotel.
Mum drove, I sat on Phoebe's knee, wrapped in a blanket. Now and then she let me stick my head out of the window for smells.
Well, I told her it was for smells, it wasn't.
No one, not even a saint of a dog can put up with Mum & Phoebe's car singing. If you can imagine the noise a cat would make if it was stuck in a washing machine (I imagine this quite frequently) then you'll be close to understanding the exact tone & pitch my (lovely) girls reach when singing.
Phoebe's penchant for One Direction is enough to push anyone over the edge.
When we finally arrived after roughly 2 & a half months of driving, we went to the beach to sniff oysters.
That's me there, standing on a mussel patch. Mussel Beach!
It was about as much fun as it looks.
I was even told off for digging.
Boring.
When we went back to the farm I decided to amuse myself & went to chat to some of the locals.
This is where I met Lady.
She wasn't allowed out to play, but we traded emails.
I'll probably give her a Poke on Facebook.
After lunch I took the girls for a run on the beach.
I met a puppy beagle called Molly.
She was awfully forward.
Do I look like the sort of chap who wants to be pounced on?
I don't think so.
Having tired the girls out, I decided it was time to head up to bed.
One last cuddle before my head hit the hay.
The next morning I woke up bright and early, ready for breakfast.
I went for James Wellbeloved turkey & rice with vegetables, a superb vintage.
I usually have it with kibble, but Mum forgot so I was treated to double meat!
Best. Day. Ever.
After breakfast I did some more exploring.
Made some friends.
Chased Phoebe.
Paddled.
And slayed dragons in their caves.
After a little nap, we went to Padstow for lunch.
The dogs here are very strange, and not very friendly.
I've never seen anything like it!
Must be a Cornish thing.
For lunch we got all steamy in the car & I shared some of Phoebe's calamari, which was excellent.
Exhausted, I spent the rest of the afternoon flat on my back "meditating".
All in all a wonderful weekend.
I can't wait for our next adventure!
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off for a bath. I have sand in places I didn't even know existed.
I can't say I blame you, I am fabulous!
Just look at me leap…

She was just the most beautiful creature I've ever laid eyes on.
Shall I compare thee to a summers day?
Thou art more fluffy and more temperate...

haha what a wonderful post! Custard is such a cutie!
ReplyDeleteKeep calm and carry lipstick.
Haha, amazing! Looks like you had a fabulous holiday, Custard! :)
ReplyDeleteFantastic!!! Greetings from Belgium.

Greetings from London Marcela! x
DeleteSweet custard! I should maybe make a post from Frank, my cranky she-bunny, mind you, it would probably be about her plot to kill me in order to have my husband to herself, especially his legs for some girl-humping :)
ReplyDeleteI would read that.
Deletei would be all over that post!
DeleteThe people have spoken, now you must!
DeleteSo adorable, Custard is just something else - he's so cute! Lovely post xo
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute dog, I just love dogs so much, I absolutely can't wait to get out of my student flat and have my own dog (we have dogs at home, one even only has three legs and they're absolutely adorable, but sadly I'm not home most of the time, and I definitely need a dog in my life!)
ReplyDeleteLooks like Cornwall is the perfect little holiday to take a dog on. Glad Custard had a good time :)
Three legged dogs are my FAVOURITES! I always used to want the damaged pet when I was little.
DeleteWhen I was taken to choose a fish for my 10th birthday I chose one with one eye because I was worried noone else would! The number of broken strays we took in when we lived in spain was ridiculous! Thankfully my poor dad is a total softy so when one of us would turn up with a bedraggled kitten or abandoned dog he could never say no.
Love that your parents are clearly the same! x
haha cutest post ever! he's such a sweet little dog!
ReplyDeleteCustard, we love you.
ReplyDeleteWe do.
Deletethis post is, in one word: AMAZING. i laughed, i squee-ed ... my little heart cannot take how cute custard is. i've been having a really hard week and this brought a huge smile to my face. so: thank you custard, and thank you rosie!
ReplyDeleteSquee-ed might be my new favourite word!
DeleteI'll give him a squish for you Sophie x
oh thank you!!! hug by proxy ... awesome :)
DeleteCustard you really are superb and very cute! my two westies Piglet (a girl) and Alfie enjoyed very much your blog post on cornwall, its one of their favourite places. Alfie loved your food recommendations and wants to go oyster hunting now. Piglet loved your action shots she loves a good run on the beach she thought you looked very athletic and wants to know if you could email her!

Oh my god, he is SO adorable. Looks like he really has had the best weekend ever!
ReplyDeleteIf I was a dog I'd date Custard. Such a gent. Playing on a winter beach with pups really makes me miss my old collie cross Peggy. She died years ago now and I still miss her- especially when I go to a beach in the UK. We taught her to wrap her paws around your legs and give hugs! Custard would have fancied her. Fo'sho.
ReplyDeleteHa! I'll let him know you'd be happy to date him Lizzie, I'm sure he'll be pleased as punch!
DeleteSorry you lost Peggy, it's so hard when you lose a dog. That's such a cute trick! I doubt custard could quite manage a hug but I'll try him! x
What a dapper dog! I wish I could matchmake him and my beautiful pup Daisy, they'd be great together. New Wills&Kate!! http://worthwakingupfor.blogspot.co.uk Xx
ReplyDeleteThere are no words...
ReplyDeleteI had to plee for over a year to get a kitten, My dad wanted one but my mum was firmly against it. I gradually wore her down and got my little ginger tom Ringo. He turns a year told tomorrow and he and mum are now best of friends, infact i think he prefers her to me!
Should i start the puppy process now or just go and get one because i know she will just turn to mush and love it no matter what!
what do you think custard?
Custard here.
DeleteI loathe cats. They're not to be trusted, Get a dog.
Haha Ringo isnt really a cat, i swear hes a puppy in disguise!
DeleteThis is great! What camera are you using here?
ReplyDeleteLink in my FAQs
DeleteThanks!!! Was it the lumix or canon here?
DeleteLooooomix x
DeleteThankssss!
DeleteThis is simply too cute.
ReplyDeletehigh five (paws) on a cute post. funny. custard should soo meet my dog, rolly. they'd soo get on.
ReplyDeleteSO CUTE! The 'Lady' bit really tickled me. :)

Will is going to be flogged.
DeleteOut of curiosity, for those are neither English or American, what does "flogged" technically mean? Maybe I can use it at work and not get in trouble that way?
DeleteI was a little late to the party on commenting how adorable Custard is, but I guess better late than never?! I have a little toy yorkie, with a personality the size of a 100 pound dog. She was also "meditating" last night on her back on the couch, after peeing on everything she could outside!
Jewels, it means to beat severely with a whip or rod. Rose is kidding (I hope. Poor Will).
DeleteJewels, herewith a link to an explanation of flogging: http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/210444/flogging
DeleteMostly said in jest these days!
Hope that helps!
Charlotte
Ohhh he is so nice!! And you took amazing photographs.. do you modify the images?
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I already told you.. your posts are so real an inspirational!
Xxx
My new blog http://carolinabin.com/
Is Custard his real name or a nickname? I noticed a different name on his collar tag in one of your old posts...
ReplyDeleteReal name!
DeleteThe name on his collar is his surname (my family name). You shouldn't put a dogs real name on his collar, it can cause issues if he's stolen.
Say I steal a dog and befriend it, when the real owners go to the police and say "ummm that's my dog" they'll do the 'call test' where you stand and call the dog to see who it goes to.
Obviously it goes to the one who knows his name, which can be tricky if both parties do.
Probably not an issue with Custard because he's very well trained and goes all wiggly when I walk in the room (plus he has his own blog posts to verify!!), but all our dogs have the same. Always have!
Did not know that! Shall be passing this on to all the dog-lovers I know!
DeleteLove,
Kimberley xx
www.ohthatkimberley.com
Interesting! I've never thought of that!
DeleteAnother trick that I DO use, though, is to put "Needs Medication" on the tag....Like you said Rose, people steal dogs, and generally might not want a "sick" dog. Or if they're not trying to steal him, maybe they'll make double the effort to get him back to me in time? Dunno....but it's worth the try! :)
Haha this is so funny, I don't even particularyy like dogs, but this makes me want to have my own custard :)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love Custard! Such a cool dog ;) I hope he tries writing more blog posts, he always puts a smile on my face :)
ReplyDeleteLove,
Kimberley xx

ADORABLE!!! Custard you are such a cutie.
ReplyDeleteOh god he is sooo cute!! So easy to imagine him having his own thing going on as well, my dog has the exact same expressive face which makes you think one day they'll talk back at you !!
ReplyDeleteCustard is just beyond adorable and just a humorous blogger! Must run in the family :) Love this X
ReplyDeleteI want a Custard!
ReplyDeleteThis was absolutely precious, could you possibly let Custard bogart the blog for a monthly update that would be greatly appreciated! :)
ReplyDeleteOh my he's just so fantastic, I need one, hahaha, yes like I could handle another fur baby in my life right now. My husband has already tried to talk me into getting another one but I just can't, now when we get a house with a bigger fenced in yard I'm more than happy to get another fur baby so my current fur baby, Guido, has a little brother or sister to play with and teach all the cool things in his life.
ReplyDeleteLove your blog!

Custard is so damn cute! His personality shines through in all the pics.
ReplyDeleteMy family used to have a shih-tzu and she had such a massive personality, sadly she died when she was 4. I would love to get another dog once I have completed uni though!
Xx
Custard I love you!!!!... you are an AMAZING blogger.
ReplyDeleteAdorable! And great photos. Do you know what breed Lady was? She matches my hair, so I must have one!!
ReplyDeletewww.alittlelusciousness.blogspot.com
Aww Custard looks like you've been having a super time!
ReplyDeleteHi Rosie,
ReplyDeleteI love the Custard has taken over the whole blog, not just written a post. He looks quite dapper in his reading glasses. Very first thing I noticed, gave me a nice chuckle. Thanks, from Canada, for my morning reads!
TOO CUTE. I miss having a puppy - since we moved into a smaller flat we haven't had a pet. Running on the beach looks like so much fun!
ReplyDeleteI love Custard. He is toooo cute <3
ReplyDeletehttp://styleisinvogue.blogspot.com.es/
Coming across that cow photo as I was scrolling through gave me quite a laugh! They're all looking at you, Custard!
ReplyDeleteHi Rosie!
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are really beautiful! You do really have some kind of talent here.
I love your blog so much that when I go on Bloglovin, I always read your blogposts last, to end with the best! hehe
Thank you for the posts lately, always a great pleasure to read you =)

Oh Custard, how lovely! Amazing post.
ReplyDeleteI still can't believe that he can recite Shakespeare.
I should learn a thing or two to my baby girl as well!!

Custard is absolutely the cutest, it makes me desperate for a dog!
ReplyDeleteCan. Not. Wait. to get our rescue pups!! Only a few more months...just in time for summer adventures :-)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely delightful! I think Custard should write children's books!
ReplyDeleteI can't even imagine how great that would be lol
DeleteAwh he is so sweet, I love this post, and the photos are beautiful!xx
ReplyDeleteI migth have missed it, but what breed is Custard? He is a real cutie. Charlie
ReplyDeleteMorkie
DeleteCheck out the FAQs - Custard gets special mention!
DeleteThis just makes me miss my own dog so much more (he's at home with my mum whilst I'm at uni). I think Patrick (my little woofwoof chum) and Custard would be seriously best buds if they both love going for a good run along the beach and then collapsing in an exhausted heap all over their owners bed at the end of the day!!
ReplyDeleteMore Custard posts please!

Custard is totally giving that Beagle puppy the stank eye. I love it.
ReplyDeleteLove your blog, Rose...but I think Custard's posts was some of my favorites ;) I have four dogs and I think they are all the cutest...but Custard has definitely stolen my heart. I think he needs a collar that has a bow tie on it--he's definitely a bow tie kind of pup.
Custard is just so adorable!! Love the pictures :)

ReplyDeleteThis is exactly what I needed to cheer me up through trying to finish my dissertation at 3am on a Thursday night, at the end I realised I was smiling all the way through reading this!! It did make me miss my little dog back home in Ireland too, he's a beagle and an absolute nightmare, but a loveable one at that!!
ReplyDeleteCutest post ever Rosie!
ReplyDeleteNow...i have a bone to pick...was that an ADVERTISMENT that i saw on your blog???? I esp. liked ur blog cos it had no ads! But i'll forgive you because u do a great job!
