🐾 Zac's Holiday Diary at Safe Pair of Hounds 🐾
Thursday – Arrival Day.
Well... I arrived with enough energy to power the National Grid!
First things first... WALKIES! I absolutely LOVE a good walk. After that I had a quick game of ball before deciding I'd earned a power nap,
Mum packed me enough food and toys to open my own pet shop. My favourite? My pink and green squeaky bone. It squeaks... I squeak... we're basically twins.
She also packed my bed... bless her. Did I use it? Did I heck! 🤣
The sofa in front of the TV was clearly the superior choice. Then when I went to work with Sharon I upgraded myself to the office chair. I mean... if you're going to holiday, holiday in style.
Friday & Saturday
Apparently I'm "nosey."
Excuse me... I'm conducting neighbourhood security checks! Every window needed inspected.
Ian seemed particularly fond of me too. I simply couldn't stop giving him kisses. You're welcome, Ian. 💋
Now... let's discuss meal times.
Some dogs eat politely.
Not me.
I believe food should first be artistically distributed across the walls and floor before being licked back up. Zero waste. Environmental king. 👑
Whenever I smelled human food I'd magically transform into a meerkat... balancing perfectly on my back legs to investigate exactly what Sharon was trying to keep from me.
Highly suspicious behaviour if you ask me.
Sunday Morning
6:15am...
I decided Sharon had slept long enough.
A nice sloppy kiss right on the face should do it.
Mission accomplished!
"Garden please!"
Then...
"Breakfast please!"
Then...
"Walk please!"
Sharon appeared wearing that famous white dressing gown, looked at me and said...
"Zac... gie us peace until after 9... it's Sunday!"
Fine.
I waited...
Until exactly 9:00am.
"RIGHT... I'M READY NOW!" 😂
Behind the Scenes
Do you Hounders know your Chief Hounder is completely bonkers?
She's up at all hours making pet portraits!
I still haven't had mine done!
She keeps saying,
"You'll get one later, Zac."
I'll believe it when I see it...
She's forever adding new things to her TikTok shop, changing products around, making videos, editing clips and muttering,
"It's only just opened... sales are slow and steady... that's normal..."
Honestly... the woman never stops
My Big TikTok Debut
Then she announced...
"We're doing a TikTok LIVE later!"
Excuse me?!
You haven't even groomed me!
I'm supposed to be the star!
Anyway... I carried the whole show like the professional influencer I am. 😎
Over 400 views...
6 new followers...
You're welcome, Sharon.
I expect payment in treats.
Or steak.
Preferably steak
Holiday Life
Long walks?
Absolutely!
Rain?
No problem!
Sunshine?
Even better!
Sharon happily took me out whatever the weather...
Although I really think someone needs to have a word with her about those white Crocs.
They're... a choice. 😳😂
Evenings were the best.
I'd snuggle right between Sharon and Ian in bed.
Maximum comfort.
Maximum cuddles.
Maximum bed ownership.
Home Time Friday - today
When Mum & Dad picked me up I heard Sharon say...
"He's welcome back anytime."
Result! 🥳
I had the best holiday, made everyone laugh, supervised the neighbourhood, became a TikTok celebrity, shared my food with the floor, woke everyone up nice and early, and even let Sharon think she was in charge.
Until next time...HOUNDERS
Lots of Woofs
Paws and Kisses,
Zac 🐾❤️
P.S. Sharon... I'm still waiting on that pet portrait...!
