Introducing Teddy, whose main goal in life is to be the 'best boy' and earn as many treats as possible through paw shaking and wet kisses.

He takes pride in his two mummies, his fish-like swimming abilities, and his natural social skills. Always the last pup to leave the party, Teddy has done his best to greet all of his beloved Stoneybatter neighbours in the short time he has been a local.

For his virtual costume, Teddy is channeling an ambitious version of his famous mohawk... he thinks an outrageous red will be a great summer look for his Grangegorman hangs.

Love to all, Teddy x

Ralph Lothbrok - early Stoneybatter Settler

Ralph Lothbrok - early Stoneybatter Settler 

# data[].attributes.body
Ralph Lothbrok (Old Norse: Ralph Shaggy Breeches) was one of the earliest settlers of Stoneybatter, taking up residence in 879AD with Ivar the Boneless and Sigurd Snake-In-The-Eye. Since then he has spearheaded numerous raids on fridges across the country and has pillaged picnics from Arbour Hill Cemetery to Grangegorman Campus and beyond. He is known for his intense focus in the field of battle (usually the kitchen).

In recent years Ralph has hung up his sword, preferring instead to cunningly charm kindly strangers away from their foodly goods. He intends to spend his senior years mentoring newer settlers in this fine art.

Poe of Sitric Road

Along came a cute rescue kitten

His humans were straight away smitten

So playful and sweet

A pleasure to meet

No one (much) ever got bitten

So what to call this chap next?

The humans were very perplexed

And then quite delighted

On ‘Poe’ they decided

After a fella who wrote spooky text

“To Woofstock I really must go”

Announced the exuberant Poe

“I’ll wear me some bling

I know just the thing

I suggest a young cat-Pharaoh”

What could the young Pharaoh wear?

Poe requested some fancy head gear

The humans did make it

(He couldn’t go naked)

And Tutan-cat-mun did appear!

Throughout his photography session

Poe did a good bit of messin’

It wasn’t much fun

Then at last it was done

Said Poe, “that’s enough fancy dressin’!”

Hi everyone, I’m Jimmy. I’m 14 weeks old and have been living in Stoneybatter for the past 5 weeks. I love it! I’ve a big personality for a small guy. I’m really friendly, love other dogs and meeting people around the streets of Stoneybatter. I know my Pride neckerchief looks a bit like a cape but I’m hoping to grow into it for next years festival.

# data[].attributes.body
We are Derek and Bella. When Bella moved here during the winter, she was really cold and it was an arduous task to find her a jacket because she was so tiny. We ordered a few jackets but they were the wrong size and had to return them.
One day, the neighbors whom we had never met or spoke to, just popped in and gave us their dog's jacket as it was too small for their dog. It fit Bella perfectly.
We also meet loads of people in the park and a lady was kind enough to give an old harness which wouldn't fit her dog anymore.
It just shows how kind, loving Stoneybatter is and a great community spirit that it has. Up the batter!

Henlo Frens!

Me name is Bella. I am from Offaly. I moved to Stoneybatter a few months ago. Since I am a country gal, I was hesitant about moving to the big shmoke.
In my entire life ( 2 months ), I had never seen so many people, all the people I knew was me ma and brothers. I was so excited to see so many people and to introduce myself to them.
My dad tells me that kids love me but I think I love them more. I get along with those tiny hands people because I has tiny has hands too.
It was so scary to walk the streets with all these beep beep things (cars), I thought they wouldn't see me and run me over. It was really scary. But thankfully, everyone keeps an eye out
for a small dog like me giving me way on the streets. They're really nice. I was so scared when I moved here but now that I know everyone loves me, I can be free as a bird ( any bird but sea gulls because they keep chasing me.)

Thenks frens,
Bellaaaaa...oooooo

Our reserved little shopkeeper has an alter ego. She is a Festival addict and shameless party animal.  Django was a seasoned contender at the infamous Sitric Picnic Fancy Dress Competition between 2005-2015. There is no tying her down when an opportunity to put on her shades and strut her stuff presents itself. But she does draw the line at firework displays when you will find her buried in the compost bin.

Please let me introduce myself, I am Luna, Luna the Lunatic, the Queen of Shea's Court, well known by EVERY household in the estate.

I love growling at my parents all day looking for food, I storm out the house when I get none and wonder into my other parents' gardens (they think I'm cute and sweet, you see, I am a great actress because all I want is food).

I love Stoneybatter so much so that every morning at 4am I wake my parents up, I jump on their head and hop onto the window seal  hoping that one day the window will be open so I can wonder the beautiful streets of my neighborhood.

I am a purring machine... Eh... Joke! I'm a pain in the 🤬 but I'm so cute my parents always tell me they love me so much and wished they could cuddle with me and pet me.

Not a chance parents , I'm the Queen!

My neighbor is a princess you know, Diana the Pooches Princess, she entered the competition too, check her out, vote for her after you vote for me of course.

Minnie (10) loves cauliflower and pasta and bellyrubs and ear tugs and firm forehead pats and tickles.  She is not so fond of rain or early starts.  When she is not busy sniffing in hedges or chasing squirrels in the Park she likes to snooze on soft things in the sun working on her tan (which is kind of a long term project  in her case!).  Minnie just loves Batter life. Minnie sends a big tail wag to all the cats and dogs and all their housemates in the Batter and hopes everyone has a lovely time and gets plenty of belly rubs!

Fluff was adopted by Su as a tiny kitten after she was dropped into the local vet by an elderly lady who found her all alone in a garden. Fluff was scared and shy at first after the trauma of being abandoned. But she’s since become a playful little creature who is well-known in the streets of the Batter. She loves chatting with the locals, chasing birds in Billy Edwards Park and sometimes climbing in neighbours windows to have a snoop around! Fluff brings so much joy into Su’s life every day and Su thinks she’s the cutest little cat on the planet! Fluff is tiny for an adult cat and has the biggest and cheekiest personality! She’s definite proof that big things come in little packages!

Already gathering her admirers, Cilla leaps through the streets of Stoneybatter and charges through the grasses of Grangegorman, playing with her many doggie friends in the park, thinking that she’s bigger than she really is. She totally melts the hearts of her two Dads and is delighted to do a trick or two for a well deserved treat.  She likes nothing better than stretching out in the sun, soaking up all the rays. We are convinced she thinks she’s a cat !! #Cats of Stoneybatter watch out!!

Hi everyone!
You may have met us having one of our many daily walks in Grangegorman. If we tried to give you kisses and slurps, apologies, we just love life and think our kisses would brighten anyone's day. Also, thanks to all the dogs who kindly share their squeaky toys, we just think they are the best kind of toys ever.
We are sisters from the same litter and turned 1 last week. Our human parents were only looking for one puppy but then they met us and couldn't decide so we got to stay together, yay!
If you do see us, please say hello, we love making new friends, getting cuddles and having any treats going spare.

Hello my Stoneybatter peeps from Thor Baby ♥️

Thor just turned one in April and had a lavish birthday party that was obnoxious even by his standards.

Loves: playing in Grangegorman with his pupper pals and his squeaky ball, getting loose and chasing deer in Phoenix Park giving his parents heart failure (one time and one time too many!), cuddling his teddy Benjy to soothe him to sleep 🥺

Hates: Swimming, cycling and balloons

Thor can’t wait for Stoneybatter to be back up and booming so he can meet new people to tell him he’s a cutie 🐾
