Last month was crazy busy, so I’ve skipped September and fast-forwarded straight to October. Basil and I have got some exciting posts coming up but this one is dedicated to what’s buzzing around our heads that we think you HAVE TO know about.

I’m super excited to share the news of my collaboration with Housetohome.co.uk, to guest write for their #PETEMBER spotlight, which celebrates dogs, cats and all the furry and feathered friends that bring so much joy to our lives.

When you’re hot-pawing around town from one pawbiz event to another, it's nice to let your fur down and enjoy some dog-friendly adventures in the woods. That’s what #BigEarsBoysClub founding members Basil and Winston did on a recent trip to Epping Forest – an endless landscape of dog-friendly fun. 

Sun’s out, fun’s out and we’re sizzling for all kinds of doggy what’s hot-ness. From palm prints for pups to a canine-catered art exhibition, read on for the buys and doggy do’s on our radar this August, and in our carefree, relaxed summer vibe, we've even let the pussycats claw their way in too. 

The subjects of safety and car care don't exactly get my motor going but when it comes chauffeuring round Lord Basil for his woodland walks, photo-shoots, trips to grandmas… we always BUCKLE UP. And when your BF lets you and your barking bae drive round to said doggy socials in his sporty, leather-seated, sexy, purring beast one feels obliged to take care of his wheels.

Following yesterday’s B&A (Bark & Answers) with Winston The Corgi, we are doing a show and tell of his fantastic new greeting card range – With Love From Winny The Corgi.

It's no secret - we freakin’ love Winston of @WinnyTheCorgi Instagram fame. His smiley cuteness paired with his clever use of prop-age and puns are a source of joy in our day. Working with his human Rachel for Basil’s recent all-star photo-shoots means that we get to hang out with him fairly often too and we can confirm in addition to his good looks, he’s one swell guy.

Like this week’s sizzling temperatures, human and hound style pairing is so damn hot right now. While it’s fairly easy to embrace this trend – colour matching their collar with your bag, twinning a dog bandana pattern with your top and more, we’ve spotted some buys that do the style thinking for you. Taking their lead from a dog’s accessory basics (collar and leads), we share three pet brands and their buys that will have you and your fashion hound walking in style, with serious wrist appeal for you.
