- Hello you!
As you know, when we moved from London to Southampton in 2021 we planned on eventually getting a dog. It's the third instalment of our ongoing diary as new puppy owners. Marshall has had his second jab, but cannot go out for two more weeks. * sigh * However we do take Marshall on a coffee run and try and settle him upstairs in the living room.
Watch the whole series here: • Mr Marshall Diaries ||...

Puppies are surely a full time job. It’s crazy! Our Bernese is 2 years old now and it was well worth it to go through the puppy and teenage phase but it sure came with lots of frustrations, crying and regrets at times. All normal feelings. He is such a cutie!
Thanks Melanie - glad to hear you’ve come out the other side x
Wow he has grown so much you are doing so well it will be very exciting when he can finally take him outside for a walk❤️👍🏻
It has made such a difference, Linda. We’re very grateful that’s for sure.
Thanks very much for all your vlogs! I've watched them from the first all through the apartment covid days, the move to house with garden and now your puppy baby. Love you both.
That’s super sweet of you to say. And thank you for sticking with us! You’re a glutton for punishment - but we appreciate it, J x
Love the Marshall diaries, he's a handsome boy! And he's doing so well. Looking forward to further updates on his (and your!) progress. Best Wishes 💕
Thank you!
Hiya 🤗 Marshall is surely a full time job 🫣 you are doing so so well with him, you really are. I hope things will be a bit calmer and easier for you soon 😊 thanks for sharing these updates cause it’s great to see how you are getting on and to see him grow and his progress. Sending lots of love and virtual hugs cause I think you need that at the mo ♥️ xxx
Bless you Lee - much appreciated. Xx
He’s so beautiful 🥰. I wish you had had Marshall before I had my George, I would have had a great idea of what to expect. Unlike all the liar liar pants on fire instagramers with their cutesy perfect butter wouldn’t melt puppy pics, with you it’s a honest and true experience of having a puppy.
It’s hard, you cry, regret, and have many sleepless nights.
Stick with it guys! You’re doing great and will be rewarded with the love of your lives, I promise! xx🐾
Ha! We know what you mean Sue - we feel a bit duped by the positive skewed things we saw beforehand- but having said, even if we had seen more of the stress and chaos, we question whether we would have let that influence us and stopped us from getting Marshall.
It’s ‘lovely’ to hear that this is ‘normal’ and that so many others have gone through it and come out the other side. Thanks for the reassurance xx
Oh I still would have gotten George too but with the honesty your video shows I would have been prepared and braced myself. I genuinely thought I’d been given an unloving aggressive pup ( first time pup mum🙋🏻♀️) and he almost broke me 🤦🏻♀️I had no idea he was just being a puppy.
Your honest experience would have helped me SO much. Keep doing what you do xx
Little boy growing up so quickly and good for you being honest with yourselves about the occasional "What have we done?". You're doing so well and the fact he's already learnt how to show you when poo poo time is needed is great. Can't wait to see how he reacted to Christmas time.
Cheers Errol x
Thank you for your honest reaction to having a new little puppy, puppy blues is real! Doesn’t mean we don’t love them 😊
Puppy Blues have been real. Unexpected. But real. Would be easier if we didn’t love him for sure, Angharad!
I’m thoroughly enjoying this honest insight into owning a puppy. Can see how frustrating it can be but also the love and enjoyment it gives too. He is adorable and he has two wonderful adoring dads.
Thanks Julia. It’s definitely a double edged sword!
Great update on Marshall. He's growing so fast 😊 He'll settle down once he's through the bitey toddler and teenage strop fazes😂😂 Rosebud was a little terror at times, hanging off my slippers and biting my ankles but they bring so much joy into our lives ❤
Ha! Thanks Helen. Baby teeth are dropping like flies and adult teeth are less torturous! Now anticipating teen stops!
Am loving the Marshall diaries.
Thanks very much Kay - sorry that we’re behind with them. 🤦🏼♂️
Don’t worry. I love anytime they are out.
Marshall is growing quickly. ❤❤
He’s a beast, Lee! Like a toddler in a dog suit!
Hi there guys... Ooh , wee & poo diaries 🤣 ( err no not you 2 boys, but Marshall I mean;t 😛😛😛😛 ha ha ) He's soooooo cute!!! And he's grown so much now! Aww bless you both about wishing your old life back ( David's sad face & then teasing grin also... ) but its just the topsy turvy house that sometimes naturally is very challenging, hugs! Clever boy walking up those stairs, go Marshall 🤩 take care all of you & have fun xx
Thanks Debbilicious
It sometimes feels like he has an overnight growth spurt. He’s so big now - can’t pick him up 🤦🏼♂️ x
Marshall is beautiful, and with a stern voice saying no when he bites, he will soon learn not to bite.❤
Hmmmm, now you say that Tracy (as does the Dog Father) however it doesn’t seem to work with Marshall. Unfortunately (VERY unfortunately 😭) x
@@MrDavidMrIan I’m sure he will grow out of it as he gets a little older, and probably when he is able to go for walks, good luck.x
@@tracyamey6434 Taking him out was a game changer!
@@MrDavidMrIan that’s fantastic news, relax, breathe and enjoy him now.x
Loving the updates and patiently waiting for more videos whenever life lets you upload more ❤
Thank you.
There will be another diary next Monday and a Florida blog this Saturday. Marshall was calm and lovely yesterday so there was time to do stuff!
Hello you 3, you are doing so well. I know you will get there. Growing so fast and that's November We'll guys look forward to the next video. I am off to Madeira for 2 weeks this Saturday but will keep watching love you all ❤❤❤❤
Oooh how lovely Andy! Nice bit of January heat (we hope!)
He is growing quicker than we had imagined - he’s huuuuge!
Andy even asked me how often l’ve poo’d today. That’s how invested we are in Marshall’s Diaries 😅
Ah, but is he writing them down in a book?
If he is, l dunno whether to be worried or not
Chill boys , marshall loves you . Poo diaries 😂😂
He does Richard... but it’s true what they say, you only hurt the ones you love 🥰
Love the Marshall Diaries 💕 looks like Dadies have got themselves a new car too 🤔
We have John. We knew we wanted a bigger one than the Zoe and there was the chance to get one through work. It arrived around the same time as Marshall - and around the time Onto went into administration and started recalling their Renaults. So we lucked out with timing (and we love the new car).
He is adorable it is hard work at the beginning but your lives merge I have a westie called Bonny and she is my shadow she is 10 now but I still remember the day I picked her up as a pup xxxx
Way more challenging than we ever imagined, JMT 🤦🏼♂️
And how gorgeous is Bonny in your profile pic! Gorgeous!
Thanks ever so much for watching x
Hi guys! Love seeing the updates…just a quick ask, have you registered with a puppy class? We have taken all of ours to them over the years, and they give great advice and help when you most need it! Even when you are experienced dog owners. 😊
We have, Victoria ( and boy does he now need it 🤦🏼♂️)
@@MrDavidMrIan that’s great! It will be a lot of help! He is a beautiful pup and will be a wonderful companion! Well, I am sure he is now, when he is not biting 😂.
The Poo Diary continues
We realise that there is a lot of poo chat 🤦🏼♂️
This is our life now Craig!
My Fred had a hairy tip which he didn’t clean so I just chopped it off every so often.poo diary made me chuckle 🤭
We hope to God that Fred is a dog!😂 Need a steady hand! 😳
Poo diary continues to this day!
You boys should be reassured that the occasional "regret" is totally understandable given your prior daily lifestyle and comfort. Lord knows I would have had my car warming up a few times if I hadn't had my pug (admittedly a different breed and size) arrive as a potty-trained and non-arm-consuming three-year-old. And I can already see Ian's eye-roll when I offer the obligatory "it gets better", however, it does get better. In fact, these challenging days will be no match to the daily kisses, hugs, laughter, and a potty-trained, non-skin abrasive Mr Marshall will contribute to this threesome for years to come. But remember he already looks good in a harness and even has a hairy, well, you know. lol So hang in there mates!
Thank you for taking the time out to send us that considered message. It’s very much appreciated - and there was no eye roll reading it! Honest.
It’s a mix of two steps forward, one back and one step forward, two back.
He’s now ‘forgotten’ his name so his recall is shot to sh1t, so trying to work on that ahead of becoming a teenager and he ‘forgets’ again 🤦🏼♂️
Thanks again Chief x
@@MrDavidMrIan So on the good side, sounds like he's got some decent footwork on him - enough perhaps,, one day, to compete in the UK version of Dancing with the Forgetful Dogs. But big hugs to all as I'm getting prepared for another Winter Storm tomorrow and Wednesday. So remind Mr Marshall how fortunate he is to have his thawed-out bottom home! lol
@@chiefd3 Ha! We will!
Stay safe in the storms! X
I have a golden retriever she is now 3 yrs old. When she was a puppy up to the age of I would say up to around one and a half. She drove me crazy no matter how many times she went out the zoomies were exhausting! it was worse at about 6.30-7.00pm she slept in a very large extended pen which we made a front leading off it so the pen was left open into another enclosed area. We covered the pen at night over with a sheet so she felt safe and cosy inside. The front part we extended by a child’s play pen frame she had the wee pads on the floor and some water and toys. She loved being in there. We went up to bed at night turned off the light she didn’t murmur. When she barked we told her no bark and the same with biting. She only barks now very occasionally. Now she is very calm and I couldn’t live without her I am so glad to have persevered and be patient . It feels like forever for the calming down to happen 😂😂. But they are such intelligent dogs and very easy to train once you have that bond.
Loving following Mr Marshall, recommend a raised feeding station, really helps with digestion. You can trim his hairy pee pee 😂 be careful 😅
Thank you! Funny you should say that - we’ve now got his bowls on a step (as we couldn’t find a raised station that accommodated his ‘slower eating’ bowls - but on the look out for a better solution!
@@MrDavidMrIanAmazon, we have a multi height one(stainless water bowl, black slow feeder, brand PDTO £23.99), on a non slip mat (£5 @tesco)
@@brownsfamily24 Thank you! Much appreciated- we’ll take look! 🙏
Although I am not a dog lover I appreciate the insight into taking a puppy. So as you are being honest about the experience if you could wind the clock to BM (Before Marshall) and change your mind about taking one would you? Or does that answer vary?!
Oooooh Dave. That’s a tricky one. For me (I) taking out the emotional attachment I now have for Marshall it would be a non-brainer and I’d say no. At least no to a puppy. An older dog, maybe. Or I wish I’d seen vlogs and read accounts where the reality of having a puppy was more evident (or it could be that I had seen and read that but was seeing it through rose tinted glasses and my brain ignored it!)
But from the moment we met him and his mum and siblings at the breeder’s home we adored him - and that makes it more tricky to be totally objective about it. His arrival coincided with some other life stuff that has probably made it more challenging- and certainly autumn/winter weather has added an element that we hadn’t considered. A spring /summer arrival of Marshall would have taken the pressure off!
These past few weeks, aside from a couple of moments of craziness each day, have been totally different to how he was a month ago - but we know teenage time is coming, so it’s possibly the (relative) calm before the storm. Reading online, the 8 - 18 months time is when most dogs are handed over to rehoming services... so who knows what the next curve ball will be! 🤦🏼♂️
@MrDavidMrIan what an amazingly honest and open answer - thank you for sharing. I'm not a dog person but Marshall is (in my opinion) lovely but you can see nd hear the tiredness in your voice. Keep up the hard work :)
I’m really curious about the not being able to go for a walk with him. I wonder if it’s a UK rule in relation to their shots as I’ve never heard of that here in Canada. Usually we get puppies with their first shots already done at the breeder though and walk them as soon as we get them at 8-12 weeks.
Hey Kristen - puppies get two rounds of shots. First from about 8 weeks and then the second 4 weeks later. They have to be from the same batch/make. Our breeder used to get the first one done but as the buyers don’t have the same vets there is less chance their vet will have the same batch/make, is the process invariably starts again.
And we need to give it 2 weeks after the second shot for full immunity. So there is a risk that after the first jab they could still pick something up.
@@MrDavidMrIan Thank you! That’s very interesting about the batch/make, etc. We definitely don’t have that here!
Mr Marshall you are a bum
Haha! We call him a lot worse!
I enjoy your videos... however... posting a video from November 21, 2023 on January 8, 2024 is ridiculous especially when your page says that you post every week.
Thanks for watching!
Spoiler alert: there’s a Walt Disney World vlog from September coming out this Saturday 🙊
No worries. I'm unsubscribing.
That’s a shame but thanks for giving us try, it is much appreciated, and we thank you for your views and support thus far.
Sorry for not living up to your expectations and we’ll amend the wording on the channel (when time allows) to reflect what is achievable.
We’d hoped it was evident from the Marshall diaries how busy and tough life had got these past few months - and then add in Christmas and all the busy-ness that brings - and that putting out content had to fall down our list of priorities for a while. It wasn’t ideal, but something had to give.
Have a great 2024.
