@alexs_journey A son to be proud of! Happy birthday, Alex! x

Dad here. So here we are! Another year. 10 years since we were told that he would not survive to see his next birthday. Please wish my beloved son Alexander a Happy Birthday. I am so proud of who he is and inspired by what he will become. Archer, champion of History, Heritage and Nature, Christian, falconer, writer, Whovian, UAV Pilot and Distiller. He is gentle & kind but also strong and noble. Many people have asked what to send him for his birthday. I say send nothing but your best wishes and if you can spare a few pounds or dollars add to his Go Fund Me. He has several opportunities ahead to help British Wildlife and preserve our Christian history - he just needs to make sure he has the equipment to do the job to its best. Please give here: gofund.me/acffd8e35 #HappyBirthdayAlex #AlexandersJourney #History #Nature #Heritage #Christian 🇬🇧🇺🇸✝️🙏🏻👑✍🏻🦌🦉🦿💪🏻🦎🦕🌞🌳🏹

@NiallHarbison Bawling again! So emotional seeing how far beautiful Rocky has come in such a short time 😍

I’ll never forget his red eyes bulging out of his head. He was in agony. When I tried to move Him Rocky he would just collapse in fear. His blood results said he was as good as dead. Today just 23 days later he is standing tall and proud with 50% eyesight back. ❤️

A lovely review for A Body in the Banjo. A banjo is a #Dagenham thing. #banjo. If you know you know!

Today is National Rescue Dog Day ❤️ Some of these dogs found their forever homes. Some are still waiting. Goldie & Frenchie have always been about more than making people smile. At the heart of what they do is helping other dogs be seen, especially the ones still looking for their second chance. Over the past few months, they’ve had the honor of sharing stories of resilience, hope, heartbreak, and love. Rescue dogs are not broken. They are waiting to be seen. If you can adopt, foster, donate, volunteer, or simply share a dog’s story, you may be the reason their life changes forever.

JASON TICKLE IS A MAN! Pass it on. #IStandWithSallGrover

He will learn to accept it 😅

Ares came back to the Podcast with some pretty incredible news… he found his forever home. 🥹🐾 When Ares first joined Goldie & Frenchie, he was still looking for a family. His adopter was originally only supposed to foster him, but they fell in love and decided to keep him!

Someone had better tell Rashid that killing people is not allowed either It would be a shame if he murdered someone because he has no idea that it's not allowed

@Jo_Liptrott Absolutely!! I’m still waiting for an announcement that you’re opening up a cake shop 😉xxx

@ElaineSWriter Awww, thank you so much, Elaine! 🥰 It's really just a very simple vanilla sponge with a very simple raspberry frosting. But it was made with love! ❤️ (And even when over-baked & wonky, homemade always beats shop-bought! 😊)

Another green room birthday! This time, I made a vanilla sponge with a raspberry & mascarpone filling & topping & I sneaked a little raspberry puree on top & in the middle. (Apparently, it was worth getting up at oh my God o'clock yesterday morning to make! 😏)

Absolutely disgusted by how we were treated at @TravelodgeUK London City Airport. Staff repeatedly refused to allow my registered @HearingDogs into the restaurant and insisted assistance dogs were “not allowed” even after we explained the law.

I do actually find it jaw dropping the 200,000 unchecked foreign individuals have broken into this country ... and yet 4 foreign speakers with opposing views to the UK government have been barred from entering the UK because of their opinions. It seems borders do work, but only when the government chooses to use them.

Oh god. Oh god no. Oh please god no. Oh lord in your mercy, hear my prayer. No. Please don’t let him “set out his values & convictions”. Not publicly. Not so we have to see & hear it. Not again. Please make it stop. For the love of baby Jesu…

It is becoming increasingly difficult for mainstream media outlets to explain the contradictions in their Gaza reporting. How do you reconcile claims of famine and starvation with a mass marathon being held in the same territory? The genocide narrative is fading as the truth comes to light, the world has been sold a carefully curated version of events. The reporting on Gaza stands as some of the most expensive propaganda ever pushed.

Sprinting away would also be acceptable.

Oh it’s brilliant. This is Starmer in 2020 I suggest he watches this on loop “When you lose an election in a democracy, you deserve to… You don’t look at the electorate and ask them ‘what were you thinking?’ You look at yourself and ask ‘what were we doing?’” GLORIOUS 🔥

Urgent, special appeal, please retweet to help Ozzy find a home #UK Recently, Ozzie received a diagnosis of a progressive eye condition. He is expected to become fully blind within the next 18 months. Despite this, his spirit is strong, and he still has so much love to give. He is looking for a patient and understanding home, ideally with someone experienced with blind or sight-impaired dogs, or someone willing to learn and give him the time and support he needs. DETAILS OR APPLY FOR OZZIE BELOW 👇 lurchersos.org.uk/dogs-for-adopt… Ozzie is an affectionate, playful and deeply engaging boy with a huge personality and an even bigger heart. Described by his foster family as a true “soul dog”, he quickly steals hearts with his cheeky charm, loving nature and joyful outlook on life. Curious and clever, he loves to be involved in whatever his people are doing and will happily follow you around the home just to be part of things. He has a wonderfully goofy side, from his floppy ears that sometimes turn inside out to his impressive snoring once he settles down for a nap. Ozzie enjoys toys, enrichment games and puzzle activities, and he learns new routines and commands very quickly. He responds beautifully to gentle guidance and positive reinforcement, making him a rewarding dog to live and train with. Ozzie is looking for a patient and understanding home willing to support him as he adapts to sight loss and continues learning about life in a home environment. In return, he offers endless affection, loyalty and companionship, and will make a joyful and devoted best friend to the lucky person who gives him the chance he deserves. Could you be the person to help Ozzie feel safe, happy, and cherished as he navigates life with sight loss? @LurcherSOS #Lurchers #adoptdontshop #England #Wales #Scotland #pets @KatieAmess @domdyer70 @rickygervais @JaneFallon @liamgallagher @DeborahMeaden @APDAWG1 @PeterEgan6 #dogs #pets Please also share on facebook if you have it👇👇👇 facebook.com/HollyHedgeAnim… @LurcherSOS OZZIE

Poor Maggie has had no interest AT ALL, so she is showing off her adorable side with a pinecone play video. Sweet, friendly and sofa-loving, Maggie is searching for a calm home to call her own. Could you offer this lovely girl the loving home she deserves? foreverhoundstrust.org/dog/maggie

@NiallHarbison Yes, Rocky!!!! Fantastic news. Made my day.

Big day for Rocky. All his updated test results are in. A little longer watch but shows you just how many other dogs are being helped. Not straightforward but you'll be smiling by the end I promise ❤️
