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.

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.

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.

So if you and your furry bestie are hot-footing around London town this weekend, swing on by Gallery Different in London’s Fitzrovia to check out “Canines & Companions – Women and their Dogs” exhibition, which explores the special relationship between women and their dogs. 

Amazing Insta-Dog sensation @TunaMeltsMyHeart has been shimmying his cute strawberry blonde butt around the UK on tour for his book Tuna Melts My Heart The Underdog with the Underbite. Luckily, his kind dog mum carved out some time in their jam-packed schedule to talk to Barkarama.

Basil and I caught up with the pair last week at dog-friendly Megan’s – a café, grill and bar on the King’s Road in Fulham…
