Happy Birthday Forest!

So my Borzoi puppy Forest (Ryazan Fingal) turned 1 today! 31.4kg (69lbs) at last weigh in at 11 months. No idea how to measure the height of something that won't stand still but definitely over 30 inches tall. Hard to imagine he's gone from the sad eyed little thing with the wiggly tail below...

Smol pup!

We thought he was getting big here LOL! And so little fur. But his tail was touching the floor :D and his butt spot was basically invisible.

I has a stick! Tiny bit more fluff...

POOF! I'm fluffy now! And actually big!

Proud in the park, all curly fluff!

Can I haz biscuit? Hint: Yes he can LOL! The other day.

And now here we are, a whole year old! He's lucky to have survived really. It's surprising how small he can curl himself up, the bed was actually an Aldi find and he's lying on two pillows. Typical mind, give him a duvet and he'll destroy it in days, the pillows he's had for a while now and they're still intact, probably need a wash though... He's booked in for his big op next month. Some might reckon it's too early but one of mum's conditions of getting a male dog was that he'd have the snip ASAP. She thought that was 6 months but they've changed it to a year plus. We want to prevent any humping before it happens and we're hoping it'll dampen his hyper-focus on other dogs. Fingers crossed!

Here's to many more years!

(Not so) Small Update-y Post

So just a little post between reviews to so a mini update. Work has been busy, I've been doing overtime almost every week, things have been starting to change staff-wise and routine-wise and not necessarily for the better. It sounds like things might get worse before they get better as well. I'd like to do something else but I haven't a clue what. I'm hoping to learn to drive over the summer so maybe that'll open things up a little bit more.

Things with the dog are busy as well, we ended up ordering him a crate this payday because he keeps eating the furniture while we're out, especially in the day, so it's now trying to get him used to that. I bought a new training book online last payday so we'll have to see how that goes, I just need to finish reading it first.

Photo of Forest to break things up :D

Onto the blog itself. As you may have noticed there's been a bit of a name change. With all the recent gun violence in the US 'bulletproof' felt a bit insensitive even if I did originally get it from a My Chemical Romance song. I did ask Twitter but no-one responded but it didn't matter because the new name came to me just as I was trying to go to sleep. Things are looking a bit bland at the moment because I need to make a new banner, I'm hoping to draw a little owl graphic for it when I get a chance. I haven't drawn anything since before Christmas so my drawing hand is a little rusty.

Now as for blog content as you may or may not have noticed that I've kind of abandoned my 'Song of the Week' feature. I must admit I didn't really think it through and I kind of ran out of ideas so I am going to drop it in that format. BUT I will still be doing a music feature, just not for a little while yet. I suddenly remembered the 100 Day Song Challenge, it was originally conceived on Facebook and apparently moved to it's own website here at some stage where it's up to 381 days. What I plan to do is write it out in a notebook and plot out what songs I'm going to do as far in advance as I can and then I will create the posts and then schedule them, probably for a Friday because I work all day Friday and don't go on the computer so nothing else will get in their way.

So that is my plan because I still want music to have some kind of feature on here. I will hopefully create a few wishlist posts here and there as well, not necessarily on a Wednesday though which seems to have become the norm.
