poor little Dolly. Our Fred was just the same. It is hard not to get annoyed, but stay calm and loving. Some day she will go over the 🌈. I still miss my little Fred after 4 years. He look exactly like Dolly. Lots of ❤ from Germany

You really need to get the kids sleep under control for their good they really need a settled night particularly now Rio is full days at school. They are both so intelligent that 2 or 3 nights of consistently putting them back in their own bed would sort this out. Absolutely love your videos and you are doing a great job Francis

Seriously thank you for keeping it real, sometimes it’s the smallest of things like walking the dog

Loving the positivity from this vlog!!
Rio is so grown up and so helpful, Rebel so sweet and so chatty now.
Poor Dolly, it’s heartbreaking when dogs start to get older. With the biting her bum it sounds like her anal gland needs clearing. Maybe get her some doggy nappies for nights but get her used to them in the day first. We found them a godsend when our dog was unwell a while ago.
Looking forward to the house planning vlogs x

Yes get doggy nappies at night once you got the blood results from the vet at least you know what's going on with her Rio and rebel are such sweet kids enjoy every minute with them Rio is growing up such a helpful little boy rebel is a sweetie take care guys ❤

Not sure if any of my suggestions will help with Dolly but I’m a long time breeder of show cocker spaniels, I would suggest limiting her access to the whole house at nights . I don’t use cages for my old guys but I use play pens the plastic ones that are actually children’s ones from Amazon they are brilliant they click together and are suitable for any area . I use them for my oldies and puppies in an area that is easier to clean ie not carpet . It takes them a few days to get used to it but they are so much happier not being in a cage after a life time of freedom . I do half pads and half comfy bed . Honestly it takes a few days of getting used to the new bed time routine but it does work and is so much easier to clean up in the morning. Hope this helps 😘 older dogs are as much hard work as are puppies. I can imagine what your mornings are like with 2 children as well .
My old guys are 14 and 15
Love you guys , I would expect Dolly to take around 1/2weeks adjustment for her new sleeping arrangements but trust me she will adapt and your lives will be so much easier xxx

Love yr family vlog..such beautiful kids with the best daddies..an sweet little dolly too...much love ❤️

Seeing how much fun you have with the kids is wonderful. It's such a blessing for both of you.

Try laying a cotton tea towel over the stains on the floor and using a dry iron to iron them out. I use this technique for water stains/ring marks in wood.

It’s understandable that this vlog was a bit chaotic, adjusting to the school schedule is challenging! Just take it day by day and things will likely get smoother 🙏🏼💞 Until the school germs come out…..

Rio is such a great big brother, and he's growing up so fast! ❤❤❤

You managed it well for the first day of school!  Good job, Francis! ❤

Dolly is like her owner !

You are so much fun to spend time with, quirky but fun lol. Keep being you 🤗
