A Winter Warmer!

Our girls love nothing better than a good snuggle and at this time of year, when there's a nip in the air, they go into cuddle overdrive. Lola and Buffy are the biggest culprits by far, while Lily prefers to adopt Jonny's (daddy's) neck as her cuddle buddy!

 Buffy and Lola.

(Sorry for the poor quality of this first one, my phones camera isn't amazing in low light!)

 Monroe and Lola.

 Buffy and Lola, again...

 Different angle :)

 Buffy and... you guessed it, Lola... See a theme here? ;)

Buffy and Rafferty.

 Another Buffy and Lola snuggle!

Lily and Daddy :)

Not all our snuggle pictures are new though, here's one from a few weeks ago, of Buffy and itty bitty baby Lola!

(Sorry again for the poor quality!)

And a real blast from the past now, taken September/November time last year (2010), baby Lily and mummy Rafferty! (I love their matching muzzle/chin markings!)

Makes those chilly nights seem a little more bearable when you have a couple of cuties like these next to you on the sofa :)

That's all from us for now but we'll be back in a day or 2, we have a lot lined up including 3+ reviews, more picture posts, our Christmas list and much more!

Love & licks for now,
Rio, Jonny, Buffy, Rafferty, Monroe, Lily and Lola.

Snuggles with Monroe :)

It's starting to drop chilly early in the evening now, so last night we popped jumpers on the girls whilst the heating warmed the house through. We came across a pair of PJ's we ordered months back from Tinkerbells Closet, so we decided to put them on Monroe. She was thrilled with her new found warmth and got down next to me on the sofa for a cheeky nap!

Isn't she a cutie pie?

Love & licks,
Rio, Jonny, Buffy, Rafferty, Monroe, Lily and Lola.

Take a picture, it'll last longer!

It's been a good long while now since our last 'picture post' and we've been snapping away, especially with Lola growing up so quickly! Here's a few of our favourite pictures that we've taken over the past few weeks;

 

 I might be biased but I think our girls are beautiful :)

We'll be back soon with some exciting festive themed posts, including baking posts - complete with recipes and much more!

Love & licks,
Rio, Jonny, Buffy, Rafferty, Monroe, Lily and Lola.

Is it Love? (Lola's 1st bath!)

Or just 'Puppy Love'?

Puppy Love is a puppy shampoo from a brand we recently discovered called 'Animology'. We will be getting their full range and we'll be road testing it for a few weeks, then all being well we shall do a review type post on it letting you know what we think! :)

Anyway, onwards and upwards to the good stuff...

So we gave Lola her first bath!
To mark the occasion we took some pictures of her 'enjoying' her spa day ;)
(To be really fair to her she took it surprisingly well.)

Isn't this just about the best bath picture ever?
Her little tongue poking out makes me laugh every time!

Doesn't she look nice?  She's growing up lovely, we can't believe how tufty her tail, ear fur and feathers are getting!

We're all so glad we have our blog to share little things like this and to keep the memories to look back on, there's nothing nicer than going through old posts. On that slightly soppy note, we'll be on our way...

Nostalgic love & licks

Dog Vlog!

It's been a while since we shared a video here, so we thought it was high time we did so! We'll be back in the next day or 2 with a ton of pictures as well, we've been snap happy lately lol. We're hoping to do some more shopping soon, so there'll be some haul posts in the next 2/3 weeks and we might do a review type post? Maybe!

For now though,

Love & licks (and camera clicks!)

A look at Lola :)

Lola's been here with us now for a little over a week and she's settling in great, the girls have taken to her (apart from Buffy, who gets bullied mercilessly by little Lola! It's all in good nature, or so Lola tells us...)

We had a play around with our camera earlier and got a few nice shots of Lola, so we think we'll end up choosing one of these to enter the Dog Photographer Competition :D

These are what we have so far;

Gorgeous right? And hasn't she grown up an absolute ton already? This is her just a week and a half ago...

It's crazy how different she looks already, just by her ears coming up! We can't wait for her fur to start coming in, in a few weeks, her fur is insanely thick already, she's what's known as 'double coated'* which just means she has a thick downy soft undercoat, so her fur should be lovely when she's older :)

*Unlike our other 4 who are single coated, i.e they have only their topcoat, which is longer, finer and less velvet-y.

We'll upload a video of her playing and some pictures of her with the girls in a day or 2!

In the meantime we're stuck trying to choose our favourite picture from this lot xD
Might be worth opening it up to a poll and asking your opinion...

Until then,

Love & licks,

Rio, Jonny, Buffy, Rafferty, Monroe, Lily and Lola.

Movie stars.

As promised, here are the videos we mentioned in our last post :)

Rafferty playing;

Lily being cute;

Our week has been pretty uneventful, so we shan't ramble, but other people have had some exciting events recently, which we'll be sure to post on tomorrow :)

Until then, au revoir!
Love & licks,
Rio, Jonny, Buffy, Rafferty, Monroe & Lily.

P.S As we said last week, if anyone has any ideas for 'summer toys', be sure to drop us some info via the links in the sidebar :) >>>

Ravishing Rafferty

It feels like it's been a while since we had any really nice pictures of Rafferty, as most people will know by now, she's more than a little camera shy. However, we did manage to snap a few shots of her gorgeous self earlier and thought we'd share them with you now ^^

And just because we can't let anyone feel left out..

Hope you enjoy ^^

Happy half birthday Lily and Alfie!

Lily and Alfie turned 6 months old this month, on the 5th, I've been meaning to post about it since but despite taking pictures specifically for a post, I kept completely forgetting/being too busy, so time to make up for it!

I haven't got any new pics of Alfie, I'll have to get my dad to take some, but here's some 6 month birthday pictures of Lily, hope you enjoy! :)

How stunning is my girl growing up to be!?! 

Okay, so I might be a little biased, but I think she's gorgeous, just like the rest of my girls...
Speaking of...

I know this was supposed to be a (late) Lily post, but you can't leave out the rest of the Hilton clan!

We've don't really have anything to update, so we'll go away, do something blog worthy and return in a day or 2 with tales to delight! (And hopefully some pictures of Alfie!) :)

Ciao for now Bloggers!
Love & licks,
Rio, Jonny, Buffy, Rafferty, Monroe & Lily.
