Ralph's first visit to the beach in a while now that it's cooled down. We crossed the railway bridge which still bears a bullet hole from WW2 and we met a lovely cat, who bore more than a passing resemblance to Bagpuss. 😽

Happy sausage Sunday! Every week, he glowers at me from across the coffee table while he waits for his bangers to cool. 👀 It’s not easy being in charge of a four legged soshul meeja binfluencer! 😏🤣

Today is Lord Ralphington’s second gotcha day anniversary and 4th birthday. 🥳🎉 I think it’s fair to say that he’s blossomed from the first pic on this reel, where he was an anxious and slightly unsure of himself boy. Now he’s living his best life. ☺️🐾🐾 #AdoptDontShop

I was met in the kitchen earlier by Ratbag the cat. She gave me that look of “where’s my ruddy food!?” 😾 Her bowl was filled to the brim earlier. Meanwhile, Lord Ralphington is farting past himself, something he only does after snaffling cat food. 💨🙄 #LarcenousLurcher

I’ve left Six Dinner Sid to digest his two breakfasts while I nip out for a spin on my bike. 😴🙄😁 #SevenBellies #LazyLurcher

Wishing you all a very happy sausage Sunday from Lord Ralphington! The staff cocked up this morning (no change there!😬) They forgot it was Sunday and gave him his normal breakfast first. Do you think Six Dinner Sid told them? No. No he didn’t. 😏🤣 #SausageSunday

Yes, of course I changed the bedding for you to bring half of the compost heap into the house on your fluffy tail and deposit it everywhere! 🤨 Ratbag being Ratbag I suppose. 🙄 #AdoptDontShop

Bonjour all! 🇫🇷 The staff have enjoyed a spin along the coast on their bike for a coffee and a catch up with French Eddie. Upon their return, Lord Ralphington was found to be diligently holding up the couch. 😏😴 He never stops this lad. 🙄 #LazyLurcher

I have a soft spot for Labradors. I don’t think I’ve ever met a nasty one. Today, I was privileged to meet this young lady. Oonagh is a 4 year old guide dog for the blind and she was a sweetheart. I was absolutely smitten with her. ☺️ Ralph didn’t meet her sadly.

Goodnight from Lord Ralphington. It’s been a zorsting day of walldozing and loafing around the house. Until tomorrow. 🐾🐾 *For all the animal welfare Karens who comment about his collar, I’ve taken it off so he can sleep comfortably. 😏 #AdoptDontShop #LazyLurcher

Panic over! He’s back in his normal spot, so I’m safe from the gable end collapsing on me. 🙄🤣 #LazyLurcher

I have beer. 🍺 Lord Ralphington likes beer froth. He’s crept onto the couch next to me thinking that I haven’t seen him. 👀 He really is a long legged galoot! 🤣 #AdoptDontShop #LurcherLife

The staff left Lord Ralphington in a sausage induced coma while they had a spin on their bike along the Leeds & Liverpool canal. They returned to find him cooling his plums while partaking in a spot of walldozing. 😴 And no, he didn’t wake up to greet them!😏🙄 #LazyLurcher
