Welcome

Hi 👋 We’re Bella & Winston!

we’re so happy you’re here!

I set up this website in January 2023, almost two years to the day that we brought Winston home. My goal then was to create a destination for small dog owners to come and find useful first-hand advice and tips from someone who has been there.

Where This All Began…

Towards the end of 2019, my husband and I decided we’d really love to get a Corgi. However, we’ve always been big believers in adopting a dog rather than getting a puppy. I put my name down on The Welsh Corgi League’s waitlist not expecting to hear anything for several months, possibly even years…

And then, as if by magic, we got a phone call to say there was a 12-month-old boy called Winston who’d happily live in an apartment in the city. Fast forward to today and we can’t imagine life without Winston.

We’ve lived together in Porto. We’ve successfully dealt with fleas. We helped him lose weight after putting on some lockdown pounds. We even got into a habit of brushing his teeth.
