For all Dog Lovers...My very handsome Dog Mr Boycie

I am a dog lover, and if it was up to me, my house would be full of them, and a bunch of other furry wee fellows. But, half my family are allergic to most animals so I have to content myself with my darling Mr Boycie...for now... though I'm thinking about getting a wee pig...little snuffly pig! What's not to love?
Did you know that when I was growing up, in a family of animal lovers, we owned 3 dogs, 3 cats, a horse, 5 chickens, 25 ducks, a rabbit, 2 sheep, 2 ferrets and a possum. Yes, it was a right old zoo and I loved it so much.

I have a lot to thank my dog for. If it wasn't for him I wouldn't do hardly any exercise but he gets be out of the house and moving. Thanks to those walks I've developed a much deeper love of nature and my own neighbourhood. He makes me feel safe at work. And his ears are like velvet, which is a bonus.

My dog delights me everyday, makes me laugh...makes me shout too, because he can be a right little naughty!
He loves attention, even being made to look like a right idiot by my daughters... I once came into my bedroom to discover this...

I think he looks rather pleased with himself!

Anyway, I had to immortalise him in a design and my Mr Boycie cushion has been one of my best seller.

I'm going to get a tattoo by the very talented Tracy D working out of Kings Cross Tattoo and I think I might have Mr Boycie, along with a bunch of other steampunk nonsense... I'll keep you posted on that....
