Each story (which is weekly serialized) focuses on one particular muttwit from the pack, forced off his furry butt to do something extraordinary to help out his best mates. What should be a simple enough ask mostly ends up in pure doggerel, lots of ear-flapping, and a quick bite or two of both friend and foe.
The blog is presented in the style of a graphic diary with the manga-inspired illustrations drawn or doodled beside the text which [‘”wot’] is written in a colloquial London voice. The stories are created to be family-friendly so there is no gratuitous language, sex or violence either written or…

Cool is 1950 hip slang meaning what rad or awesome means today, For instance, the Beatles were cool and John Lennon was the coolest.

After you created Foxy, you have a fan for life! And being a coffee addict, I’d love having a coffee bar named after me.😏

Well, here’s a bit of insider knowledge – as yu already know Foxy’s got history with Checkers (that’s ThreeLegs to the intimates), but she’s got some real challenges ahead when she has to stand up for Checkers against all the other muttwits in West Pid. who wanna drive him out of town…erh, but that’s a story for the future. But, for sure, Foxy’s a real star and true to her snifz-mates 🐶🐾
