Win A Wine and Cheese Hamper with Boutique Gifts
Welcome to day 4 of the One Frazzled Mum 8th Blog Birthday Competitions.
As you might have noticed, I am back running a series of competitions to celebrate my blogs 8th birthday. I cannot believe I have managed 8 years and still not learnt how to be a proper blogger! This is officially the longest I have ever stuck with anything in my life (aside from parenting).
For this year, there is a lot of newness in our lives. It is the first time I have started the year as fully self-employed, doing a job I have always wanted to do and love doing. This means new routines, new home dynamics and, more importantly, a new addition to the family.
Introducing Tegan.

Tegan is our gorgeous 12-year-old tri-colour beagle. Olivia has been desperate for a dog for so long, and as she is 16 in March, I decided this year would be the year. Plus, any dog we did get would be her birthday present. We agreed on the adoption route, and back in October/November, we began trawling Dogs Trust for dogs who would be suitable to live with us. In January this year, Oliva caught covid almost one year to the day after I did (and we all remember how that went), and during this time, we received a call from Dogs Trust regarding adopting Tegan.
We were the proud owners of a new dog within the week, and she is quickly settling into life with us. She is the queen of blanket stealing; she loves belly rubs and long walks with all her favourite people (all people she loves everyone). She is super fussy with food and can often be found on the sofa snuggling into at least three blankets at a time, chilling and watching TV. She hates it when I work, but we’re generally good if I am in the same room.
Talking about her being fussy, we have gone through so many different types of food trying to entice her appetite, and while she isn’t a fan of treats unless it is chicken or blocks of cheese, we have finally found a food she wants to eat. Boutique Gifts have kindly sent us this gorgeous personalised plate for Tegan. She currently eats out of a bowl but likes her chicken on a plate (spoilt much!). It is the perfect addition to her feeding mat alongside her bowls.

Now, I can’t speak for Tegan but I personally think the plate is so nice. I am big on personalised gifts so being able to have something for Tegan with her name on is perfect – it goes with her feeding mat perfectly too. The plate is a similar size to a standard side plate but features text alongside two paw prints.
It is perfect for her to eat her treats from, and by treats, I mean chicken because Tegan isn’t really a food-motivated dog unless it is chicken. She absolutely loves it. Plus it feels like she is really eating with us when she has a plate too.

If you want to order your own personalised dog plate, head over to Boutique Gifts now to check out the range.

Their cheese and wine hamper looks delicious! 2 of my favourite things!
I have a new German Shepherd puppy that I’ve named Milo, he’s teething at the moment so he’s nibbling everyone and everything but he’s a good dog.
We have a rescued Persian called Vango and a miniature Labradoodle called Nora
All of our cats and dogs have been from rescues
I have a 14 year old cat called Humphrey. He is adorable.
Our cat Cosy is 14, our daughter was always cat and kitten mad when she was young but we didn’t want to rush into getting another cat, (we already had 3). So we made her a ‘kitten voucher’ which was left on the Christmas Tree for her along with litter tray, kitten food and toys. It explained that she could exchange the voucher for a kitten when the time was right. Cosy was a rescue kitten who was rejected by the family that adopted her, so she came to us. She’s much loved and very spoiled not only by our now 20 year old daughter but by the whole family.
I have a dog called Jack….he is 7 and a Jack Russell x Chihuahua. Love him so much!
We have a lovely rescue dog, she’s smart and we’re her slaves!
We don’t have any pets at the moment but my grown up son and his family have a dog named Ralph who keeps them all busy!

Tegan is gorgeous! I have two dogs – Elton and Ria. They’re both older now; Ria is 11 and Elton will be 13 in May. I’d be lost without them.

We have fish in our pond including a big ghost koi called Dyson who makes a splash in the middle of the pond at feeding time and then swims round and round the edge of the pond sucking up the all the food as the food goes to the edge!
I have a Dalmatian rescue dog. His name is Marshall and he came to live with us 18 months ago. He had been ill treated but he is the most loving dog and fits in so well with our family. I can’t imagine life without him now.

I have a cat called Lucky but he is not as friendly as I would like, he bites me often.
We have no pets but my daughter has a labrador.
I have a very cheeky black and white cat called Archie. Sometimes he looks at me like I am his world and other days he looks at me like he could set me on fire. He loves to hide and jump out at me, race around the house with his ball and although he runs off when anyone comes to the house as he can get anxious around other people, he has a weird obsession with the bin men and runs up to the window to watch them. He makes me smile every day.
We used to have pets when the children were small just to help them understand live (& death !)better but now the youngest is 19 we have replaced the last as I am now disabled and it wouldn’t be fair toask my wife to care for a pet as well as being my carer.
