Friends! Baby Dog is feeling a bit fed up because of having to wear his Bodysuit. As usual, he seeks me out for comfort, so I’m letting him use me as a pillow - it’s the least I can do ❤️ By the way, Mum and I have prepared a special Blog with Advice and Fun for Halloween. We’ll be publishing the link this morning so do look out for it 🎃

A backlit Barn Owl hunting in the late afternoon sun. Look at those beautiful translucent flight feathers as he glides silently over the marsh.

I’m feeling sad! Little Boo is showing no signs of putting her back foot down and I thought it would have healed by now. The only positive news is that badgers and even foxes can cope and thrive in the wild with three functioning limbs. Im just thankful she has an easy food source here 🙏🦡🐾🐾❤️ If any of you lovely people would like to support Mr Lumpy & Friends and our causes….. purchases and donations help in the online shop 🐾🐾🦡🦊❤️ mrlumpyandfriends.com/donate Www.mrlumpyandfriends.shop/s… 🙏

Today here in Aldridge I litterpicked a main road through an area with lakes and woods. This load of silver paper from what looked like a box of doner kebabs. Loads in the water as well. A right mess

Some gentlemen wear a tie. Others sport a magnificent moustache. I, however, have opted for a full set of luxury, extra-long, precision-engineered whiskers Handsome? Naturally Humble? Not particularly And yes, they do detect the opening of a treato packet from three rooms away

The music for the Pearl and Dean cinema adverts is called Asteroid. It was written in 1968 by Pete Moore. I now want a choc ice and a bag of Revels...

Found a couple of adverts on a 1992 VHS tape for some sweet treats I don't remember at all, but look fantastic: Jacob's Pims and Ferrero Fresco Mint.

The cemetery foxes are thriving ever since the human intruders left. I so love to see them running wild and free. Mum Spring and dad Bertie are playing with their youngsters to their hearts' delight! 🦊🔥🧡 PS: Sorry I did not post much over the last few weeks, I was really ill and out of action.

Friends! It’s all going on for us at the moment! Baby Dog had a little benign cyst on his back, which he has managed to scratch off! He needs to wear his body suit for a few days whilst it heals. He took this is his usual ‘calm’ way and decided the answer to feeling better was a game of Hide & Seek with Ron.

I'm so glad you're making a quick recovery! Oh boys, I love your brotherhood, so adorable 🥰 Forgot to say, my calendar & book came last week, they're amazing! The book brought a tear to my eye 🥲 Was supposed to be for my toddler nephew but I'm keeping it! Lots of love 😘

A big surprise to end the day - a GOLDEN HARE!!! It's been about 2.5 months since our last sighting, so between the excitement and the wind it was nigh on impossible to hold steady 😅
