February Catch Up!

So February is nearly ended?! The weeks just seem to fly in, least it will be Spring and Summer soon though! We've had some sun at least in the meantime, though it's still a bit chilly!

So we've had Digger come to Hotel Bruff for the day and as you can see he's made himself right at home and fast asleep with Skye.

Next we had a big adventure with the Girls, Buster and Noah!

These lot know how to be patient!

But they know how to have "fun", well at least Noah likes to move!

And then we have Cara meeting Noah for the first time and becoming best friends, whilst Rhu and Skye mope about.

Great Start to February!

So February has well has truly started, we didn't even notice January ending! The weather hasn't changed much just a new storm every week!

So here's what's been happening at Bruff's Bark:

Kari has been learning swim in the new rivers!

Noah has learned of the mud and has tried to change from a blonde to a black labrador, much to our constant pleas to stay out of it.

And Skye loath of the wind and rain has made her an unhappy dog, wanting to just sleep the days away - we know that feeling.

So it's starting to get a bit Festive!

The adverts are on 24/7 and the movies are every day but a job isn't over yet, we've still got dogs to get out, even if the weather is horrible - which it has been, mostly!

Some sun and food helps towards a good photo!

We'll start with some fun with Beau and Vegas, who just love to run and play!

Look at their big smiles!

Next, we've got a new member, a big boy but mostly hairy, here's Undo!

And here he is out with Hilary getting up to some mischief!

We'll end with some fun in the woods with Yogi and the two Bonnies!

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!

October Sun!

Yes, we've been amazed that there is still sun in October! We are always prepared for the onslaught of windy and rainy days come this part of the year but it's still nice - oh what a delight - though getting chillier!

So let's start of with a video of two boys in the woods, Rudi and Yogi, have a good walk and getting treats!

Next up we have a new member of the Bruff's Bark Band. He only 14 weeks old; full of joy, fun and excited to see the big world, here's Noah on his first big walk with the boring Girls, Rhu and Skye!

We are Still Here!

Skye helping out with the paper work.

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!

Left to Right: Bertie & Basie, Benji, Bonnie and Mortimer & his friend

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!

Say Hello to Hank!

As we mentioned before we have a new member of the Bruff's Bark Band and here he is...

This is Hank, he's a little Chihuahua cross Jack Russell Terrier, as you can see he's full of energy and like a good roam about the big, big world! Be sure to look out for more of Hank when we get him meeting some new pals!

Some Doggie Fun!

So we are coming to a close on the Easter Holidays and preparing for all our lovely Band members coming back, we'd like to share some fun we've had with our Dog Selfie kit!

And we've got two models who were more than happy to have their photos taken with our new props!

Skye looking cute with her new hat!

And Rhu has given up altogether!

There will be more Dog Selfies on the way!

We hope everyone has been making the most of this sun these past weeks, as we've got one golden boy who likes to shine, here's Yogi!

The perfect poser!

Spring is Here - Finally!

Yes, it's heating up with the sun out and the kids are out of school for another holiday! It may be a bit quieter over this period but we are still working hard!

We'll start off with an adventure of two very similar dogs.

Juno and Fen!

These two are almost identical except in size and age but they are best of friends. Hilary took they two on a big walk and we've got some footage of the fun!

Next up we've had a visitor to Hotel Bruff for a night, he's a big boy but he has known the Girls for years, it's Buster!

Poser.

Everyone waiting for dinner, patiently.

Finally after a long and exciting day with Rhu and Skye, Buster has fallen asleep gracefully in Hilary's Bed!

Though the Girls aren't one to share her bed either!

The exciting lives of Rhu and Skye!

Whilst Hilary was away to Amsterdam for a few days, I got the all exciting task of looking after Rhu and Skye. They got their walks, food and cuddles as normal but as you'll see you would have think I'd take them on extreme hill walks!

But now Hilary is back in, they can escape the exhausting task of having me all the time doing their every task and I can finally have a bed to myself!

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!

Bit Late...

But we couldn't not share these lovely moments from Christmas!

First up is Floyd, dressed up for the season! At Bruff's Bark we do wish Father Christmas was a dog!

Next up, here's Hilary, Rhu and Skye posing for the family photo! Don't they all look so happy!

Finally here's a quick video of Christmas at Hotel Bruff and the Girls getting their well awaited presents!

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!

Happy National Dog Day!

Apologises for the short delay!

Yes, the 26th of August is officially National Dog Day!

But what is it?

National Dog Day (Also known as: International Dog Day & National Dog Appreciation Day) is celebrated August 26th annually and serves to help galvanize the public to recognize the number of dogs that need to be rescued each year, and acknowledges family dogs and dogs that work selflessly each day to save lives, keep us safe and bring comfort. Dogs put their lives on the line every day - for their law enforcement partner, for their blind companion, for a child who is disabled, for our freedom and safety by detecting bombs and drugs and pulling victims of tragedy from wreckage.

 - National Dog Day Website

And how do you celebrate it?

Well there is many way to celebrate it! From simple things like having a  good walk with your dog(s), getting them gifts and treats, helping others with their dog(s) or giving a new life to a dog in a shelter and adopting them!
Check out the website for more ideas!

But there is one idea we love at Bruff's Bark and that's getting some fabulous photos, so without further ado here's Oscar and Oscar!

The new Baywatch star!

Relaxing after a big walk!

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!
