TED's Home Stay

Sun’s out, tongues out… but the vibes couldn't be more different! ☀️🐾

At Ted’s home stay, we have two very different schools of thought on how to survive a hot summer day:

The "Tashie" Method: Sensible, refined, and frankly, a genius. Why run around when you can simply melt into the cool floor? She’s the queen of the tactical nap, proving that the best way to beat the heat is to become one with the hardwood.

The "Benji" Method: Total chaos. For this boy, the sunshine is just an invitation to go full action-hero on the water hose. If he isn’t trying to catch the spray mid-air, is he even really cooling down?

Whether you’re a "chill on the tiles" kind of pup or a "chase the water" legend, we’ve got room for both personalities!

It’s been a hot and sticky day, but we’ve managed to stay cool, calm, and collected! ☀️😎

We’ve had a busy day of fun:
Benji, our pool-loving Labrador is back and bouncier than ever! He has been making the most of the weather with plenty of cool dips in the paddling pool! 💦

A huge welcome to Frank, such a sweet and gentle boy, who had a wonderful and successful trial day with us. He’s been enjoying some relaxation time and play. 🐾

Our lovely older lady, Tashie, has been very sensible, finding the perfect spot for comfort on the cool kitchen floor for most of the day. 😴
And little Tilly, whose pawrents were out for the day, has been having the best time playing with her friends! 🎾

Between all the excitement, we’ve been keeping everyone refreshed with frozen licky mats, cool towels to lie on in the shade and taking it in turns to relax in front of the fans. A successful day all round for these gorgeous pups! 🐕🐾

What a pleasure it was to have beautiful, affectionate Eddie the cocker spaniel stay with us! 🐾

He fit right in, spending plenty of time playing and being an all-round good boy. 🐶

He quickly learned the nickname "Teddy thief"—he loved stealing the girls cuddley Toys 🧸

He settled right in, whether it was enjoying a well-deserved pint at the pub or having a proper cuddle on the sofa. 🍻🥰

Eddie, you will always be welcome back to Ted’s home stay! ❤️

We are so excited to officially introduce you to the newest member of our gang, Milo! 🐾

He’s officially passed the auditions and fit right into the group. Watching him watch over these crazy pups while they play is the sweetest thing.

Welcome to the family, Milo! ❤️

🚨 BREAKING NEWS: THE MUSIC WORLD IS GOING BARK-SH*T CRAZY! 🚨

Stop the presses! A new, high-octane trio has just stormed onto the scene, threatening to disrupt the entire industry with an unprecedented level of fluff and attitude.

Meet the headline act that has everyone wagging—the undisputed kings of the boarding house lounge: Bertie, Barney, and Bear. 🐾🎸

BUT… THE SCANDAL! 🐾📉

The air is thick with tension as rumors circulate regarding a recent, dramatic fallout within the group. Insiders suggest that Bryan has officially split from the ranks, citing that he felt he was "more of a solo artist" than a team player.

This has left the music world divided. We need your expert opinion: Are Bertie, Barney, and Bear simply a Troublesome Trio destined for disaster, or are they the most Handsome Boyband to ever grace the stage?

THE BIG QUESTION: WILL MILO MAKE THE CUT?
While the band plans to continue as a three-piece, whispers from the field suggest that a potential fourth member, Milo, is signing up for a high-stakes audition soon!

Is he the missing harmonic piece to this fur-covered puzzle, or is he just here for the free treats? Will they hit the studio to drop their debut number one, "Don't Stop Me Retrieving," or are they destined to retreat with their tails between their legs and retire to a life of napping?

WE NEED YOUR HELP! 📢
The band needs a name worthy of their star power. Drop your most hilarious, pun-filled band names in the comments below! 👇
