Happy 3rd Birthday Rudi!!

Here is our wee man now becoming a bigger wee man!! Happy Birthday to the Original Rude Boy. Rhu and Skye sends you loads of licks .xxx

All the snuggles in the world.

Snuggles and cuddles.

Something to Cheer!

The winter seems to be in full flow now - wind, rain and frost! Though we are jealous of those lucky enough to be in warmer parts of the world, it wouldn't be Scotland without the chill!

But we've got something to beat the winter blues and it stars: a Pug, the beach and a surfboard. Here's Brandy the Pug!

We've now got high hopes that one of our Pugs will be able to do that and more!

The Pug and the Pup!

So we've been out having fun with the new pup Noah, and he's been making a whole lot of new friends, first one being one of our pugs, Rudi!

Next he's made best friends with someone who's almost the same size as him - for now! - Digger! 

Happy Boys!

And here's them going out for a big play together and getting some tasty treats!

Sun and Fun!

So looks like Summer decided to make an appearance this week - though not for long! - so we had some nice fun with our Band Members and some photos!

We are Still Here!

Yes, apologies for the lack of recent posts, we are working hard with all our dogs and dealing with paper work!

But we've got a lot to share though! So lets start with some pictures of the Band Members in action!

And where would we be without a short clip or two, so here's Bonnie and a new member Ruby going for walks with Hilary!

Finally we've had Hotel Bruff has been busy, we've had big boy Buster for the past two weeks and a special night for Rudi with Thumper! So let's start off with Buster with the Girls!

Happy Time!

Sleepy Time.

Two different Labradors, same sleeping position.

Next up is Rudi and his night with Thumper!

King of the Couch.

Mid afternoon nap time for the pug.

And here's the video you would have been waiting for, Rudi saying hello to Thumper!

So we hope that keeps you all busy for now, we'll make sure to get back on to our regular schedule!

Red eagerly awaiting more updates!

Hotel Bruff

Yes, it looks like doors are opening and closing often at Hotel Bruff with the start of summer, so let's see who has been recently!

We start off with a 2 week visit from Cara! As she's grown up with the Girls, she's right at home at Hotel Bruff.

Nap Time!

Watching passersby from the window!

Next up we have a big boy who hasn't been for a while but it more than welcome, it's Oscar! He's been staying for the past few days and catching up with everyone.

He has been greatly missed by the Girls but he knows how to have fun, so here is some clips of him in action, including some fun in the sun with Rudi!

But after all the fun and playing it's time for a well deserved nap and Oscar likes his naps, even if they are short!

He's a good doorstop as well! 

Never made it to bed.

Ssshhh, don't wake him up!

We've emptied up for now, but there are more guests round the corner!

In other news, Bruff's Bark has been enjoying the recent increase in Sun - even getting a bit of a tan/burnt - but it's important to remember that not all dogs like the heat!

Rudi likes the heat but can't last long in it!

Kari is loving the weather!

 Finally, Elmo is just happy to go back to his bed after his walk whatever the weather!

A Birthday Boy!

We can't believe how fast time has passed since we were celebrating his first birthday and now we have just celebrated Rudi's second birthday and here's some photos from the day!

He's grown up and started drinking!

One can isn't enough to celebrate a birthday!

But there is one thing that all birthday boys love and that's Ice Cream!

Aside from the celebrations, we have a new member for yous to meet! Here's Sorcha, a lovely red labrador!

And here is Sorcha meeting and playing with Floyd and Frank!

And after all the fun in the sun, Floyd is absolutely knackered - look at that tongue!

Bark Life!

The sun is finally starting to show it's face more and it's getting a little bit warmer so we are finally able to have more fun with the dogs! Though don't let those two above say otherwise!

So let's start off with someones new haircut and it's quite a chop!

It's Elmo!

And someone else is getting into modelling career!

Oscar really liked the hat, honest!

Next up it's our little Pugstar and he's at it again getting into a magazine this time! In this month's Your Dog, it's Rudi!

Next we had a little visitor for the day at Hotel Bruff and as you'll see you can tell she enjoyed it! 

Juno getting able to sit on the manager's knees!

Bonding with Skye!

Finally for some action with little, large and in between. Here's Juno, Baloo and Rocky out for a play together! She shows no fear in the face of these two boys!

Santa's Little Helper!

Here's our little TV star Rudi on his visit to Santa, doesn't he look so happy!

We love to see our furry friends so keep sending in photos and videos to share!


Also we'd like to share the news that we are sold out of all the Bruff's Bark Calendar 2015, told you they would go quick!

A Surprise Visit!

Hotel Bruff had another guest this week from a well missed 'little' bulldog, Oscar! The wee man is all grown up now and is still the same funny and playful dog as he was when he first joined Bruff's Bark. So let's get into the action!

We'll start off with him meeting Maggie for the first time and what a blast they had, though Oscar still hasn't ran out of steam yet!

He goes on to pester Skye for a bit to get someone to play with him.

The result:

Then finally he decides to help out around the house, one chore he loves is opening the mail and giving a good read before deciding it's for the bin.

And after a few days of excitement when Oscar finally gets home he then decides it's sleepy time.

In other news, we mentioned it a year ago about having a celebrity dog in our ranks and he has now moved on from the newspapers to the TV!
Yes we are talking about Rudi, he was again at the Animal Blessing service at Greyfriars Kirk this year and got some screen time!

Rudi checking that they got his best side!

A Little Catch Up!

Apologises for the lack of posts recent of our Band Members in action, it's been pretty busy with new members joining and the end of the holidays meaning we are back to full steam!

We'll start with the recent exclusive Pug Club meet up in which both Rudi and Frank were apart of! So here is a little men both looking pretty good if we do say ourselves!

Next up we have an update on Elmo, he's recently had a bit of surgery but he's still happy and going strong even though he's become quite a lazy boy and will happily sleep than go for a walk.

Yawn!

Next up another little collage of some our members enjoying themselves!

Left to Right: Oscar, Chloe, Yogi and Kelly

Finally we've got a new face for you all to meet, he's a small older boy who's new to the area but is full of joy and energy, so without further ado here's Sammy! 

Happy!

And here he is in action with Hilary!

Puppy Power!

We have a big selection of pups in the Bruff's Bark Band so it's time to show some of them off in the style they all love: having fun!

We'll start off with a little man with loads of energy and a face to make you awe, here's Frank in his new career path as security!

Don't start trouble with this one!

Next up, some action with Midget and Alfie - still young and proud - then big boy Buster with Frank and Bradley - who could be confused for a little lamb!

Finally we've had another one staying at Hotel Bruff, this time it's Rudi! He's been with us since he allowed out the house and he's still the happy man we've always known!

Posing with Skye

But other than just chilling with the Girls, he's also been meeting new friends so here's a new face of the Band it's Travis, he maybe be young but he's becoming friends with all and doing amazingly at Training!

These two were inseparable!

Finally when it comes to the end of the play, everyone needs a good nap and Rudi is no exception to the rule, he tries to fight sleep but the wee man enjoys it's a bit too much.

Another Young Face!

Hello!

Yes! We have another young pup to join the Bruff's Bark Band, this time it's a little girl by the name of Tess! She is just a little bundle of furry joy who is starting to come out of her shell thanks to the fun with other Band members.

Here's a little video of her to introduce and see her in action with the like of Maggie and Frank!

Next up is a clip of both Frank and Red in action at a recent training session, they are both quite new to the training but they are proving themselves are getting through it will ease!

And to round up lets have a little view of what's happening in the house with Rhu, Skye and Cara.

It's a Pug's Life!

We have another Pug - or as we have recently learned they are known as the Dutch Mastiff! - and he's a little young pup of 4 months!

Meet Frank!

This little man isn't afraid of anything or anyone and has happily made himself apart of the bigger dogs of the Bruff's Bark Band! We now have 5 Pugs - Winston, Rudi, Bertie, Basie and Frank - each with a different personality but full of energy and joy!

Pugs have been well known throughout history, the breed originating for China but becoming a well sought after dog by royalty in Europe in the 16th Century onwards.


Enough Pug business - for now - we have had some more sleepovers recently, starting with Cara, who is with Rhu and Skye at the moment. So she has been meeting some new doggy friends whilst on her little holiday from home.

So here is her new pals: Hugo, Maggie, Midget and Sophie.

And after some playing -  like rest of the dogs who stay over - Cara is ready for a good nap! 

Zzzzzzz....

But with all of the dogs in Bruff's Bark, we do love them and sometimes they show us affection back.

Kisses!

And finally here's another stay over, this time it's Oscar, who join Thumper for the night!

Hello!

This is my bed right?

 And sometimes even the dogs have one of those mornings where they don't want to wake up!
