I will ask for advice, and you have to answer using only a quote from somewhere else on Mumsnet. Then you can ask for the next piece of advice. (best to quote the advice question you're answering in case there's cross-posting)

Okay, first question: What should I wear to my cousin's wedding?

If you are comfortable with crypto there are quite a few things that can be done if you have the inclination to get over the learning curve.

This isnt financial advise but in your situation (crypto-familiar and primarily fiat orientated), I would move half to eth, half to USDC, provide liquidity on Uniswap (uniswap.org/) and deposit on Visor (vault.visor.finance/).

You will need to operate on the eth network directly to do this - metamask (metamask.io/) is the best way to do this and it will link with your hardware wallet.

Do not chuck the whole £50k at this, but its worth investigating. Once you get confident using metamask/dapps/defi, there is a whole world to explore!

Find yourself a nice, small kennels where they will definitely have an enrichment plan and ask them what it is.
I wouldn't be worried about her, at 10 months she will have loads of energy, maybe she needs a mad half hour in the evening before she settles. As long as you don't mind, it is fine.
