Nail Art #16 | New Year Nails

 

If you're unsure of what to do for your New Years Eve nails, check these out! Adding charms and gems is so easy to do, and can instantly transform simple manicures to glamorous nails.

I did this manicure for a night out on Saturday, but I love this look so much I've decided to keep it on as my New Years Eve nails. The polish is by Model's Own in Green Tea, but it's actually darker than it looks in the photos I took.

I bought some gold charms awhile ago, and decided one of these on each hand would look so simple yet effective. I couldn't get my nail glue open, so I used Seche Vite's top coat to attach the charm. I was expecting this charm to fall off within hours, but the charm has stayed on since Saturday.

You can buy charms and gems from loads of different shops like H&M, Boots and Superdrug.

LiLash & LiBrow updates!

Last month I posted a blog entry about LiLash, and now the time has come to update you all on my lashes and brows! I was told I'd notice some difference after one month of using the LiLash and LiBrow, and that after three months, I'd have noticeably more fuller, longer lashes, and thicker brows.

So it's been a month of using LiLash and LiBrow, and I have noticed some difference! Check out my previous LiLash entry to see the before photos.



You can see in the first photo that my lashes are gradually lifting up, and in the second photo, you can see I have more outer lashes! My lashes are definitely getting fuller. When I apply mascara, my lashes look amazing! Hopefully I'll have even longer and fuller lashes after the three month induction. This product is working!

I haven't noticed any difference in my brows, which is a real shame, but I'll still be trying the product out for the next two months to see if there's any difference.

Victoria Secret's mini haul!


Victoria's Secrets finally opened in the Bullring! I'm so happy it's finally in my city. I've been to the stores in London, but as I don't live there anymore I can't stroll around and pick up underwear I can't afford. Anyway...

I picked up a gift set (...for me...) which had a varsity crew and leggings in for £54.50 (!). I was going to get a varsity by itself but that was £44.50, and well, I kind of justified my purchase by saying things like "I need leggings...It works out a bit cheaper because you get leggings...I like this varsity over the others... I also want the free toy dog..." They are so comfortable! And I'm pretty sure the leggings have some kind of heat technology in them, they keep me so warm compared to my other leggings... The Pink range is full of soft loungewear, I just wish I had more money to buy it all...

I picked up a bottle of body spray in Pure Seduction. I purchased this a few years ago but as I was running out I picked up the same one, and I also picked up the Eau De Toilette version too. I'll be honest, the Toilette version doesn't last much longer than the body spray... Oh well.

Have you bought anything from Victoria's Secret?

Special Delivery #15 | The Tail Wagger Christmas box


In my Christmas guide for dogs post, I mentioned that I had ordered a Tail Wagger box for Freddie. It came today! I couldn't wait until Christmas Day to open it, so I opened it without Freddie around. He's already started sniffing the box, no doubt smelling the delicious treats in the box!

In the box, I received five treats and two toys:

The treats: Soopa Coconut chews, Alfie & Molly's Lamb Bites, Lucy's Carrot Crunchers, Leanlix in Run-a-way Frank, Veni-Dog Pure Venison Chew Stick, I will admit, I would not have picked these treats for Freddie if i'd seen them in a shop. I'm excited to try all of the treats out, but I'm also a bit worried as he's quite a picky eater. He will be more likely to taste the meaty treats first rather than the carrot biscuits and coconut chews.

The toys: A cuddly Rudolph toy and a Gor Flex Bouncy Ball. I've been meaning to get Freddie a bouncy ball for awhile, but I'm not sure about this one as it's rubber. The rubber picks up all the dirt on the floor, and although it'll be easy to clean, it's still a bit gross.

I can't wait for Freddie to open this on Christmas Day! First we'll go walkies in the morning, and I'll give him his box. He can open boxes by using his snout to lift the flap, so i'll let him do that and let him pick which treat he wants first.

What do you think of dog subscription boxes? Would you order one for your four-legged friend?

Special Delivery #14 | I'm one of Superdrug's #NailThatFestiveFeeling winners!

(From L-R, Rockstar, VIP, Catwalk Queen, Fashion Icon, Socialite, Starlet.)

I won a competition! Yay! I tweeted my Christmas Manicure to Superdrug who were running the competition and I had forgotten all about it, as I do with most competitions... Low and behold I saw a DM from Superdrug saying I had won! 

I had won the collection of Glitterati Nail Paints by Barry M, as well as their Gelly High Shine Lips. The Glitterati Nail Paints are packed full of iridescent glitter, which I LOVE! When I swatched these polishes, I felt like I should have been a mermaid! These shades made me feel super girly and magical. I can't wait to create some nail art with these.

The Gelly Hi Shine Lips are super moisturising and pigmented. I can't wait to use these, I don't know which shade to go for first!

I am so grateful to have won these polishes and lip crayons! Thanks so much for picking me as one of your winners, Superdrug!

What are your favourite shades of Glitterati?

Christmas Gift Guide: for Dogs

I love spoiling my dog, and I spend more money on him nearer Christmas time. I especially love to tease him leading up to Christmas with his presents. If I've bought him a squeaky toy, i'll wrap it up and squeak it from time to time. It gets him so excited and curious. Then Christmas Day comes and he can, with some help, open his present! 

This year I won't be buying him individual presents, instead I've bought him a box from The Tail Wagger, as they had a 50% code over Black Friday Weekend. I chose the medium sized box, meaning I'd get 4-6 items chosen based on the profile of my dog. This would be a really nice surprise for my dog and I, as I always buy him the same treats. I can't wait for it to arrive!

Whether you're a new dog owner or not, or you love your friend's dog, here are some gift ideas for the dogs in your life:



1. Pet Munchies Chicken Breast Fillets 
Made from finest quality white breast meat they are low in fat and high in protein. Slow roasting in their own natural juices preserves the real flavour of the chicken. Dogs of all sizes love them,and regular chewing will help to remove plaque. - Barkster
There are also Venison Strips, Duck and Liver treats from the same company. I know my dog loves 100% meat treats, so these would be perfect.

2. Kong Classic
My little Freddie gets a bit frustrated when he can't get his treat, but it does keep him occupied for awhile! My dog also hates peanut butter, so I can't stuff it with that like some websites suggested, so I just rip up a treat and stuff it in there. You can buy a Kong toy from loads of pet websites and stores as they're so popular. The prices range from place to place and also depending on the size of the Kong, I bought mine from eBay as it was the cheapest. 

3. Rosewood Chubleez 
Chewing stuff is great fun...but sometimes all you really want to do is cuddle. Our appealing designs use assorted fabrics and loads of stuffing to create a great ‘mouth feel’, but all some dogs want to do is find the ‘hidden’ squeak! - Rosewood
My dog loves his little doughnut toy, it's super soft and has one squeaker inside. Once he's found the squeaker he gently bites down to make a squeak, and he genuinely looks quite proud of himself. I think Rosewood have done a great line of toys for moments like these! You can buy Rosewood toys from retails like John Lewis and Amazon.

4. Travel Bowls
Are you the type of person to take your dog out wherever you go? I know I am! These bowls are collapsible so they wont take up much room in your bag. These are great for long car journeys and really long walks in the summer. Pet London currently have a special offer on travel bowls.

5. Bow Tie Collars
Make your dog look super handsome with a bow tie collar! They'll look like they're off to a bow-tie evening and will get everyone swooning with how cute they are. Pet London have some cute tweed bow tie collars.

A lot of people give their dogs much more food during Christmas time, as they want their pet to feel part of the family. But remember: do NOT give your dog sultanas or raisins from your mince pie as these are very toxic to dogs, turkey skin is very fattening, gravy is too salty and onions can kill. If you want to make your dog a Christmas dinner, you can include potatoes, turkey meat and any vegetables like peas and carrots to their bowl. 

What are you going to get your dog this Christmas?

Nail Art #15 | Snowflake nails


On a very gloomy day in England, I painted my nails in Barry M's Pink Punch. It is so bright and glossy! I love Barry M's line of Gelly polishes. The polish has the right consistency: it's not too thick that it's a gloop, and not too thin that I need 3 or 4 layers of polish.

I added some cream coloured snow flakes to make them more festive. I think if I added some glitter to the manicure it'd be much more festive, but glitter is so hard to remove!

Special Delivery #13 | LiLash!


Cosmetic Pros is an American company from Scottsdale, Arizona, who specialise in transforming lashes and brows. Their special serums promise to enhance the eyes, "evoking confidence, positivity and allure." 

Cosmetic Pros have two products, the LiLash and the LiBrow. I was sent the Demi sized version of the products. The Demi version contains enough serum for a three-month induction cycle, whereas the Original version contains a three-month induction and a six-month maintenance cycle.

The LiLash serum is supposed to give you longer lashes, which is definitely what I want and need! "LiLash® conditions and fortifies your lash follicles to help create the most beautiful eyelashes you have ever experienced." You are supposed to apply this to the upper lash line, as if you're applying eye liner. Then the next day, you change direction of application. This was a bit tricky for me as i'm used to applying eye liner in one direction, but I got the hang of it.

Where as the LiBrow darkens brow hair while thickening and filling in the sparse areas, "LiBrow safely fortifies and conditions your brow follicles while gently darkening brow hair with a unique botanical tinting agent." With the LiBrow, you apply it under the arch of the brow, or anywhere that is patchy.


Here are my before pictures! As you can see, my eyelashes are really short, and my eyebrows could do with some tinting. I've used these products for almost a week now and I can see some changes to my lashes, but nothing major. I am going to be using these products for a month before reporting any huge changes.

This Friday it's Black Friday! Meaning loads of discounted products, including LiLash and LiBrow products. From 28th November to the 1st of December, they're offering 25% off all their products, with a free gift included. There's also free shipping worldwide. If you're really not satisfied with the product, there's a 90 day money back guarantee.

You can purchase LiBrow and LiLash here.

*I was sent Demi sized samples of the LiLash and LiBrow, and all views and opinions are of my own.

Review: Neutrogena Visibly Clear Rapid Clear Treatment


Lately i've been breaking out, with large spots on my forehead, and smaller ones on my chin. I'm going to blame winter for the arrival of these spots. Anyway, I started looking for spot gels that wouldn't dry out my skin and that I could wear under and over make-up. I'll be honest, there were so many treatment gels and they all had pros and cons with them.

I settled with Neutrogena's Visibly Clear Rapid Clear Treatment gel, which is designed to keep skin looking clear and healthy, without drying out the skin. It's also supposed to reduce the spot size within 4 hours.

It did reduce redness, but it didn't reduce the size of my spots within 4 hours. My spots were still big, and I had to use it every day for the spots to slowly disappear. The gel dried fast and I could use it under make-up. It didn't leave any dryness unlike other treatment gels that i've tried.

I would not recommend this for those who have acne, but for those who have the odd spot that pops up once in awhile. It's not fast-acting like I had hoped, but I can deal with that. This was super cheap at Superdrug for £3.99 and I bought it while it was on a buy one get one free deal.

A day at Birmingham's German Market!

Birmingham is said to have the largest authentic German market outside of Austria and Germany, and it's the main tourist attraction of the year. I love walking through and spending an hour or two here. I mainly love the delicious food there is on offer.

Sometimes you forget to look up from the stalls...All the details on top of the stalls are so adorable, 

There are lots of stalls selling cute ornaments...

I ordered the red sausage... 

And it was very big... 

There's loads of sweet treats on offer too, like these amazing doughnuts...

These were duck fat roast potatoes, and they were soo good!

The German Market is open from 10am - 9pm until the 22nd of December, running from New Street towards Chamberlain Square.

Have you been to the German Market? What did you think?

Nail Art #14 | Christmas themed nails!


It's the most wonderful time of the year...and gloomiest, because of the horrible weather!

I love the holiday season. I love all the shiny glittery ornaments, and all the amazing smells from the Christmas markets, and everything just feels magical around this time of year. It seems like it rolls round earlier and earlier each year, but I'm not complaining.

These are my first Christmas nails of the season, I hope you like them!

Polishes used to create these nails:
Model's Own Blooboo for the base, Green Tea for the tree, Gold Finger for the gingerbread man, Snowflakes for the tree's tinsel and sparkle around the robin.
Barry M's Mushroom for the gingerbread man's shadows and the robin's feathers.
Rimmel London's Lycra Pro in Ruby Me for the gingerbread man's bow tie, the baubles on the tree, the robin's chest and for the candy canes.
Sally Hansen's French White Tip for the snowflakes, the snow around the robin, and the candy cane.

What's your favourite bit about this season?

Special Delivery #12 | November's Birchbox & Review!

 This month's Birchbox theme is Cosy at Home. I love staying home and getting into my comfy clothes, cup of tea in hand and catching up on TV shows. This is the perfect theme for November, when all of the Christmas decorations start going up and everyone is layered up in knitwear. I have seen other Birchboxes and I am a little disappointed about the products I received. Let's begin the review...

English Laundry - Signature for Her
I don't really like receiving perfumes in beauty boxes, it feels like a rubbish and cheap sample to give out, especially when these tiny samples are so easy to get. It's one of the reasons why I abandoned Glossybox. I do like the smell, but I don't think I'll be purchasing the full size.

Beauty Protector - Protect & Detangle
This leave-in spray protects from UV damage and heat, while conditioning, detangling, minimising frizz, adding shine and protecting coloured hair. I used it on damp hair and combed through with my Tangle Teaser, leaving it to air dry. I've been to the park (in the wind!) with my dog and my hair is pretty much knot free. Oh and it smells amazing.

Weleda - Pomegranate Regenerating Body Oil
This oil is rich in pomegranate seed oil, which helps to protect, firm and renew skin. It contains powerful antioxidants and essential fatty acids. It's meant to make skin feel more elastic, smooth and supple, perfect for the winter months, My upper arms and legs get really dry in the winter, so this is perfect! You are supposed to use this on damp skin, and when I tried it out, I felt like I needed a lot of this product to cover my legs.

Lord & Berry - Mini Bronzer in Sunny
I'm really disappointed with the packaging of this product. It looks super cheap in the plastic casing. The product is quite pigmented and blends quite well. I love that it's matte and not shimmery like most bronzers.

Dr. Jart + - Pore Refine Tight Effect Toner, FULL SIZE! 
This product, from South Korea (the GODS of skincare!) promises to tighten pores by controlling excessive sebum, while soothing sensitive skin. I shake the bottle to mix the sebum controlling powder, and then apply it to a cotton pad. After cleansing, I wipe the pad over my face, focusing on my T-zone. Then, I apply moisturiser. My skin is less oily and shiny, meaning it works! This product is very similar to Avene's Cleanance Purifying Mattifying Toner.

Montezuma's Mini Chocolate Bar
I love chocolate. Give me more.

Special Delivery #11 | A new planner!



So I recently discovered a stationary website called Kikki K while looking for weekly and monthly planners. I had thought about getting a Filofax but they weren't appealing to me. Kikki K is like the Australian version of Paperchase, but without the kooky characters. They are a Swedish company based in Australia, and they ship worldwide. 

I chose this Kikki K Live Bright 2015 planner because of the pretty colour scheme. I love how it's gold with shades of purple and pink. It's super girly! The planner has a canvas material which I am in two minds about; I would have loved it more if it was leather, but that'd push the price right up. I love the inspiration quotes that can be found on some of the dividers. The planner also has several card pockets, a removable ruler and a pen loop.

The planner costs US $49.95 which when converted is about £31. I signed up to their newsletter and got an email saying I had $10 off my first order, so that's when I purchased it! With shipping fees ($9.95) it cost US $49.90, again around £31, which is the price of some of Filofax's A5 planners. 
I have read that you can refill Kikki K planners and diaries with Filofax's refill papers, so that's something I'll probably do for 2016. 

You can purchase this planner here.

What do you think of this planner? Do you own one or plan to get one before the year ends?

Nail Art #13 | Navy Flannel Shirt nails!


It has been such a long time since I painted on my nails. I love it this time of year when all the flannel shirts start to make an appearance. I LOVE the tartan prints too. So I decided to put the print on my nails. You'll probably see a lot of upcoming nail posts featuring similar tartan prints. I'm obsessed with it. I'm also planning to paint a set of this design and sell it on Etsy!

I used Model's Own Betty Blue, Seche Vite's top coat, two nail art pens & a striping brush.

Special Delivery #10 & Review | BioIonic Agave Oil Treatment



I've been looking for a hair oil for nearly a year now, after the hairdressers used Morrocanoil on my hair. I didn't purchase it as it was so expensive, and I would have wanted to try a small sample at home before any big purchases.

This is my can't-live-without hair product! After receiving a sample in September's Birchbox, I went ahead and purchased the full sized product. It's £27 for 120ml or 4oz, but I used my reward points to get £10 off.

The lightweight oil strengthens and moisturises hair, as well as building resilience. It doesn't weight my hair down and it actually feels like i've got more bounce in my hair! It makes my hair super shiny and soft. This oil is great at taming my frizzy ends and also works at detangling my locks!

I use a 5p sized amount of oil and rub it through the lengths of my combed, towel-dried hair. Then I'll either air dry it or use a hair dryer. It protects the hair from heat, so no need for extra protection. I would however use a bit of heat protectant spray if I was using a curling iron or straighteners, as they're obviously much hotter than a hair dryer.

The only bad point I have to say about this product is the cost of it. The price is so off putting, I waited until I could get £10 off before purchasing. I don't think I would have purchase it at the full price.

Have you tried this hair oil? What did you think?

A Beauty Blender Disaster!


So a few months ago in my Birchbox, I received a Beauty Blender. I fell in love with how the sponge blended in my under eye concealer without it caking. I washed it religiously after I had used it, and would leave it to air dry. A few months after owning the sponge, I noticed a few black dots, and I thought this was some mascara from my lashes that had landed on it after applying extra concealer.

I was so wrong. I carried on using the Beauty Blender thinking it was just mascara dots that I couldn't wash out. I started to notice that these dots were spreading around the blender, and I knew for a fact that these weren't mascara dots (I stopped applying more concealer after I applied mascara).

I did a Google search and I saw a lot of other people had the same problems. A YouTube video showed me one beauty guru's Beauty Blender was covered in mold, but she'd left hers in a plastic bag. Some people left their beauty blenders to dry in their make-up bags. But mine was left to air dry, so how did I get mold?

I honestly do not understand how it's happened!
Do you own a Beauty Blender or plan to own one? Have you had this happen to your blender?

Nail Art #12 | Halloween Edition



I am not a huge fan of Halloween and I hate all things scary, but I love all of the different looks that everyone creates. I love how you can transform yourself into different characters just by using a bit of make up and fake blood. Halloween is such a great time to get creative!

What are you doing for Halloween? Do you love it or hate it?

Special Delivery #8 | October's #CoppaFeel Birchbox!


This month's Birchbox is in collaboration with CoppaFeel, as it's breast cancer awareness month. Which also means many of the products are shades of pink!

Balance Me Cleanse and Smooth Face Balm
This a gentle exfoliating cleanser, which leaves my face feeling refreshed and polished. There are tiny grains of oatmeal for gentle exfoliating, as well as the good stuff like chamomile and red mandarin. This cleanser is perfect for any skin type, including my sensitive skin.

KMS California Hair Play Playable Texture
I'm not sure what to make of this yet, and maybe I'm not using it right, but it does smell nice! This hairspray is super lightweight and isn't sticky, which means you can spray as much as you want without your hair feeling crunchy!

Shaveworks The Cook Fix
This is my new favourite product! It reduced the redness of my red bumps on my face, and had a tingly cooling sensation when applied. I applied it before I went to sleep, and when I woke up, noticed how the bumps were reduced in size and redness. Amazing product. I'll definitely be purchasing the full size of this for both me and my boyfriend.

Pixi by Petra Shea Butter Lip Balm in Honey Nectar
This is a super moisturising tinted lip balm. Like every girl out there, I've got a billion and one lip balms stashed away in handbag compartments. The lip balm formula contains shea butter and Vitamin E, which prevents future dryness. Although you should definitely exfoliate your lips to get rid of any flaky dead skin before applying this lip balm.

Lollipops Nail Lacquer
I've never heard of this brand before, and it's always nice to receive nail polishes in beauty boxes. This is an opaque, glossy, quick drying red polish. It's also free from parabens and presavatives.

I think this is a great and informative box. I love the 14-day planner that also shows you how to look out for signs of breast cancer, and although I felt I knew what to look out for, I didn't know about some of the other stuff like looking for nipple discharge and rashes. I love the little pink lipstick shaped pen too!

Good job Birchbox on another amazing box.

Special Delivery #7 | October's YOU Beauty Discovery box


Gold Collagen - Forte
An anti-ageing liquid beauty supplement for those in their 40s, it's designed to boost collagen production and boosting extra anti-oxidant support. It's supposed to support healthy looking skin, hair and nails, reduce the appearance of wrinkles, keep the skin hydrated and give strong protection against oxidative damage. I will be passing this onto my mom, who's in her 60s and definitely needs this more than I do. I think this is an expensive product for what is essentially a beauty supplement in liquid form, especially as you have to drink one bottle per day.

Cowshed Anti-Ageing Perfecting Night Serum
This is meant to be an all-in-one-anti-ageing treatment for busy women with busy lives. I do not have a busy life and I am also not in the age bracket that this serum is meant for. It's also meant to plump the skin and improve skin tone, reduce hyper pigmentation as well as providing intense hydration. I will try it, and if I like the feel of it I'd probably buy it for my older sister,

Illamasqua Glamore Lipstick in Cherub
The product I was most excited to receive was a product I had received in Glamour's July Beauty Box. Worth £18.50, this easily makes up for the price of the box, and I got a lovely warm coral shade.  When I first saw the shade, I was a bit iffy about it, but when I tried it on my lips, I was in love. Illamasqua say that their new nude shades of lipsticks work well with all complexions, it's super hydrating and has a satin finish. An absolute must for hand bags.

Crabtree and Evelyn Nail Lacquer in Petal Pink
I previously received this in a previous beauty box (I can't remember which). This is such a pretty sheer pink, and it's a shame it's so sheer. After applying atleast two coats, the colour is more noticeable. It's a subtle nail polish for those who aren't allowed to wear polish at work.

What do you think of this month's You Beauty Discovery Box? Did you discover any new products?

Special Delivery #6 | #greatlashbig


I actually received this mascara a few weeks ago after entering a Maybelline Twitter competition. I've never tried the original Great Lash mascara, even though I've heard everyone rave about how it's such an amazing mascara. Anyway, I wasn't sure what to expect from this new Great Lash Big mascara but  I do know that the brush is bigger than it's sibling, It is also supposed to condition the lashes.

I wouldn't say it's an amazing go-buy-it-now mascara. It's pretty average and gives me perfect natural looking lashes without clumping them all together. I don't like the fact that I needed two coats to achieve less than what I normally get from one coat of mascara.

I am a massive fan of most of Maybelline's mascaras, but this one just doesn't cut it for my needs!

What do you think of this mascara? Have you tried it?

All about my dog!


Initially, I wasn't fond of dogs, as my friends all owned dogs who were jumpy and excited. I've always seen chihuahua's in the handbags of celebs, but never did I think that i'd own one! Freddie's 100% chihuahua, and he's usually mistaken for a Jack Russell or a puppy. We adopted Freddie when he was around 2 years old, and he has changed our lives so much! We had to make sure we didn't bump into him when he was behind us, as he is so tiny. He's also got his own Instagram so everyone can keep up with his daily antics.

Grooming
I wash Freddie once a month, as they don't need to bath as much as other breeds. I use different flea-repellent shampoos and I have no preference, just as long as they lather up nicely. Following up from his monthly bath, he will also have his monthly anti-flea spot on gel. I cut the inside nails on his paws as they can grow quite long, and they curl round too. The longer these nails get, the harder it is to cut. They don't file down either unlike the other nails, so the human has to step in. I don't cut his other nails as I'm scared that I'll cut too far down and hurt him. He does file his nails down anyway when he is walking on the pavement and doing his moonwalk after his wee, so that's our natural way of filing down his nails.

Walking
Freddie is walked everyday at 9am if it's not raining and I don't have work that morning. I walk Freddie with a bunch of other people at the park, who all have their own lovely dogs. Freddie gets along with all of them as long as they don't try and eat his treats. This socialisation has really helped him behaviour wise. Before, I'd be wary of other dogs around him as he could snap. Freddie, and pretty much all small dogs, have small dog syndrome, where they want to look bigger to other dogs by growling and barking, but if he is off of the lead, he will be less aggressive.

Feeding
Freddie gets half a small bowl per meal. His meals are a variety as he is a picky eater. The first meal of the day, Freddie will usually get wet dog food mixed with dry kibble and a bit of warm water, to soften the kibble. (Freddie hates dry kibble and crunchy food) At dinner, Freddie will eat what we have for dinner, usually rice, meat and vegetables, again with a bit of water to act as a bit of sauce. Obviously we don't feed him the bad stuff. He's picky with his treats and has his favourites from his treat tin (Baker's Mini Bones are his #1 choice).

Personality
Freddie loves the fuss. He loves going up to people and getting attention, but if another dog tries to get in the way of his attention, he'll growl for them to back off, just so he can have all of the attention to himself. He loves to cuddle next to us as we watch TV. He loves to take all of his toys out of his toy box and bring them to us for playtime. He loves to sunbathe in the sunny spots of the house and garden.

Do you own any pets?
