The late May Bank Holiday once again saw me travelling up to Birmingham for the annual pride event. With excellent weather, it was great to see so many pups out and about … and so many other people too. It’s a bit strange being asked by the Chief Constable of the police for a selfie though! With thanks to Wolfy and Halvor for organising the walk, I think the pictures of the day say more than I could in words!
There’s a selection of pictures of me… and a few of the rest of the pups too!
Having been the first Mr Puppy UK back in 2015/2016, I’ve always enjoyed watching the title go from strength to strength… and that goes without saying as the title passes from Buumi to Trumpet for 2019.
The handover was planned, quite rightly, to be at Club Scritches, an event that Buumi has set up during his title year that runs in the Eden Bar in Birmingham. This was in January, and since I was free, it would be rude to not go along. This also marked my first visit to Scritches in the time that it has been running. *paws over eyes*
With the event happening in a large enclosed area of the pub, it was a really enjoyable event – plenty of good music (which lots of pups – including me – ended up “dancing” too!), lots of play space and lots of pups!
It was also nice to have a few puppies come up to me and want pictures with me or to talk to me as being part of the reason why they’d got involved in the pup scene.
With speeches by Buumi and Trumpet, the formal handover was completed, and the pups continued to play and party. Then, it is onwards to the rest of 2019.
With Thanks to Pup Snap for the photos 🙂
It’s been a couple of years since I’ve attended London Pride, mainly due to various work commitments. However, I’ve always enjoyed it in the past and looking back through these photos shows how much the pup group has grown!

I’ve been quite busy recently at work, and combined with having had a horrid cold before that, life has been a little slow. I thought, since it was a new year, it would be a time to reflect on some of the things that I’ve done in the past.
Over the years, Spot has participated in some walks for The Zentai Project around London. These pictures are a selection of some of the walks I’ve done. These started way back in 2008 and most of these photos are from 2008 – 2010. These may not always be the best photographs, but they are memories of a great time!
Puppy made the annual journey to Brighton for Pride, this year watching the parade and having a wander round and my photo taken a bit!
The weather was actually quite warm, so it was a very good day out but at little uncomfortable at times.
As we don’t pay to attend the actual event (and we’re glad we didn’t when we saw the news later) we still had some fun… in fact Pup got to go down the Zip Wire as a pup (minus hood and paws) and also had a trip down the Volks Railway as well.
A few pictures from the day are below!
