Rupertโ€™s Report 08-03-26 ๐Ÿพ

9th Mar 2026

WOOF WOOF HELLO HOOMANS!!! ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ˜„ This week in Ballyhenry has been SO busy that my tail nearly flew off from overโ€‘wagging! ๐Ÿ•๐Ÿ’จ

๐Ÿšช๐Ÿ• New Door = New Smells

We started with a NEW WAY to get in and out of the building and I was like “WHAT IS THIS SORCERY?! ๐Ÿคฏ๐Ÿšช” but then my nose went sniffโ€‘sniffโ€‘SNIFFFFFF ๐Ÿ‘ƒ๐Ÿถ and WOWEEE — new door, new smells, new adventures!!! I trotted in, out, in, out (and maybe in again… research purposes ๐Ÿ–๐Ÿ”ฌ), and all the peeps did AMAZING using the Junior Door โญ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ’ช.

๐Ÿšœ๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ’จ The Mystery of the Missing Diggers

I also heard a rumour (the BEST kind of rumour ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿ‘€) about BIG DIGGERS coming ๐Ÿšœ๐Ÿ’ฅ and I LOVE diggers — they’re like giant metal doggos that go RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE ๐Ÿ˜ but they DIDN’T COME ๐Ÿ˜ญ so I stared dramatically at the horizon like a heroic movie dog ๐ŸŒ…๐Ÿ•… maybe next week!!!

๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿพ A Week of BOOKS (and I didn’t eat ANY of them!)

The whole week became BOOK WEEK ๐Ÿ“šโœจ, which is funny because I didn’t even eat ONE book (selfโ€‘control: 10/10) ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿ˜‡. On Tuesday, we had a Cosy Night In ๐Ÿ›Œ๐ŸŒ™ with stories and blankets, and I nearly fell asleep doing tiny dog snores ๐Ÿ’ค๐Ÿพ. THEN I met TIM BAILIE ๐Ÿ–Š๏ธ๐Ÿ‘“ — a REAL AUTHOR HUMAN!!! He read to the pupils and my ears did happy wiggles the whole time ๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿ‘‚โœจ. He said he might WRITE A BOOK ABOUT ME (WOOFโ€‘STAR ENERGY โญ๐Ÿถโญ), so I started practising rhymes...

Rupert is a labradoodle,

Soft of paw and kind of noodle.

With waggy tail and gentle eyes,

He helps the kids feel calm and wise.

Thursday was COSTUME DAY ๐ŸŽญ๐ŸŽ‰ and OF COURSE I joined in — duh — I dressed up as WINNIE THE POOH ๐Ÿป๐Ÿฏ (but I wasn’t allowed honey, very unโ€‘poohโ€‘like behaviour ๐Ÿฅฒ). Everyone looked PAWโ€‘MAZING ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿ‘ƒ๐Ÿ’›. Reading is such a SUPERPOWER for humans ๐Ÿ“˜ ๐Ÿ’ฅ and even though I can’t read (yet… maybe someday… who knows ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ•), I’m VERY good at lying beside someone reading and looking wise and floofy ๐Ÿง โœจ.

๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿพ Purple Paws Gala: I Was There in Spirit!

On Friday Mrs Knocker went to the Purple Paws Gala ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿพ๐ŸŽ‰ and I stayed home because apparently “too many dogs” would cause chaos (lies… partial lies… okay maybe half true ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿถ). Echo, the first school assistance dog ๐Ÿ•๐Ÿฆบ๐Ÿ‘‘, and Lexi, the friendship floof ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿ’—, represented the canine crew, and I hear it was a PAWโ€‘TASTIC PARTY!!! ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ’œ

And THAT was my week — full of sniffs, snuggles, stories, costumes, and hopefully SOON… DIGGERS!!! ๐Ÿšœ๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿถ๐Ÿ’ฅ
