Stationery is not just for humans. Pets love putting pen to paper too. Take Lil Wayne the dog, canine companion of Catch Rhys jewellery founder Catch Rhys Jones. This diary-keeping dachshund loves to play with his piles of notebooks (and is rather fond of dressing up as a pencil) so we just had to ask the little guy all about his stationery addiction.
He may be small but Lil Wayne has got big opinions when it comes to the paper stuff. It's fair to say we've never met a stationery lover quite like him.
