Our dog has decided that the perfect place to lie down at our holiday accommodation is... on a staircase whose carpet is the same colour as her!
I'm grateful for her very-visible blep... or I'd have tripped over this camouflaged pupper several times already!

Found GC7P0AN A Fine Pair # 1089 ~ Parkhouse
The geohound and I walked over from Catbrook this morning "the long way" - over the hill and woods, finding a couple of caches along the way - to this cache.
From both the cache type and my GPSr's map data I fully expected to find a post box here alongside the (decrepit) red phone box, but it's nowhere to be seen! Has it perhaps been removed?
In any case, the hint reassured me that I was in the right place and my geosense told me where to look. A disappointingly tiny cache container (where a larger one could have probably been placed) was soon found, caked in mud, and replaced as-found.

Found GC2DJ9K The Wolf Cache
The geopup and I absolutely chose the right time to come up here on this wintery morning. The sun's ascent over the valley whenever we escape the cover of the woods is absolutely spectacular.
Found without difficulty SL, TFTC! -
Found GC2EFAW The Cairn Cache
The geopup and I, on holiday from West Oxfordshire and staying nearby, came out for a morning walk in the ice and snow today.
Our little Frenchie's tiny legs made the work of climbing the stiles on this path a little challenging, but with persistence we were treated to a wonderful view of the sun broaching the horizon over the valley at the North end of School Wood.
Soon the cairn was in sight, and what a brilliant spot for a cache! Signed log, and dropped a travel bug that's come all the way from Texas to continue its journey. FP awarded for bringing us out this way. -
I think the dog's back paws were cold this evening. The giveaway was when she tucked them into a convenient nearby trouser pocket.

Unusually, we had no guests this Christmas Day. This meant that my usual level of overcatering went even further than normal.
A side effect of this is that a certain little doggo was delighted and surprised by her Boxing Day breakfast of roast goose!

A few pockets of the morning's freezing fog still cling to the hedgerows as the dog and I set out on a chilly West Oxfordshire morning walk.

We got our dog a Christmas jumper.
My favourite thing about it is that its coat hanger contains instructions for use:
"Please insert dog" 🤣

Wrote note for GC88ZY9 The Devil's Quoits
A local landowner has (controversially) decided to start enforcing their ownership of the land surrounding the lake at Dix Pit, and has erected new fences and private property signs to deter trespassers. So this evening, the geopup and I took a walk to the GZ to check that it's still an achievable find.

Ten Pointless Facts About Me
A 'ten questions about yourself' quiz is circulating the blogosphere, and I figured I'd join in (and wear four different hats, in the process).

We made it to the end of another Bleptember, with a photo every day of my especially-bleppy young doggo.
Alt
A champagne-coloured French Bulldog in a teal jumper lies in a soft brown dog bed in the corner of an office. She looks over her shoulder at the photographer, her tongue sticking pretty-much entirely out in a long blep. In front of her, a handwritten sign is marked with a pawprint and a heart and the words 'Happy Bleptember 2025! See you next year!'
Thanks for coming along for the ride. See you next year!

Somehow, even when she's alert and focussed, our dog's bleppy tongue makes her look at least a little bit dopey.
It's the Twenty-Ninth of Bleptember; we're almost done for another year!

It's a little wet and miserable this Twenty-Eighth of Bleptember, but what really perturbed this bleppy doggo was somebody she didn't recognise moving a wheelie-bin outside their house. What could they want? Can they be trusted? Might they have ham? 🐶
