In a UK poll of 10,000 people this week for the favourite dog of 2019 Staffordshire Bull Terriers came out on top. Were you surprised? I wasn't! It is nice to see the breed shaking their aggressive stereotype and becoming known for the loyal loveable pets that they are. I have two gorgeous Staffies Marley and Minnie and the thought that people judge them for their breed makes me really sad. Personally I have experienced people crossing the road when they have seen me walking with them on their leads and parents that have been fine with their children coming to play at my house knowing that I have dogs, but on finding out they are Staffies have quickly changed their mind. A mixture of bad ownership and massive negative media attention has only fuelled the fire when it comes to how they are perceived but finally it seems they are getting the appreciation they deserve. Here are just a few of many pleasant facts that Staffordshire Bull Terriers should be known for -

So it's 2019 and I have just turned 30. While grieving for my youth I realised that 30 didn't have to be so bad. Just as it's the beginning of a new year it's also the beginning of a new decade of my life so how can I make it productive and fun? So along with the usual boring New Years resolutions of being more organised (i run late for everything!) and stress less about the little things (i stress about everything!) I am starting my blog Just Holly Marie. Not only is today special because it is the launch of my blog but is also my son Connors 10th Birthday! He is having a great day and feels much older because he has just hit double digits. I on the other hand as well as being proud of the handsome young man he is growing into can't believe he is 10! Where has my little baby gone? If you don't already know I am completely addicted to entering competitions. I have won so much and I have fun doing it. I enter competitions on the school run, while i'm on holiday, in waiting rooms and even if I can't sleep in the middle of the night. You might say it's a problem I would say it's the best hobby in the world :) We are only six days into 2019 and I have already won a bundle of Nella the Princess Knight toys from Friendlings magazine and all it took was an email with the answer to a question. 10 seconds of my time. Head over to my Win Gallery if you wants to see pictures of my wins and other comping bits and pieces. Thanks for taking the time to visit my blog. Just Holly Marie x x x |
