The reality TV star previously confessed her Pomeranian Buddy had weed on her little girl just last year - leading to a slew of comments from fans online.
Now Laura is relocating from the flat where she moved into when she was eight months pregnant, and lived in for two years.
She took to her Instagram Stories to document her huge life shift, packing up the property before heading to a house with a huge garden.
Gushing over the outside space, she perched on her bed and told the camera in a short video: "I'm so excited to have a garden the garden's so big.
"Bonnie's going to love it, I'm going to get her a swing set.
"And Buddy's coming home for all those asking."
Laura shares the adorable one-year-old with ex Gary Lucy, 43, welcoming the tot in September 2023.
She has made no secret of the fact her beloved Pomeranian Buddy has been struggling to cope with the arrival of Bonnie and today stated: "I have said a couple of times, but it's been really difficult with Buddy.
"He actually bit Bonnie twice and it was just really difficult in the flat, I couldn't really keep them separated and when she was really young it was just so difficult.
Laura Anderson admits 'my patience has gone' as she begs fans for help with daughter
"But I think now I've got more space and she's older ..."
Laura, a former air hostess, added: "My auntie has had him for two months and yeah can't wait to have him back.
"They've [Bonnie and Buddy] met up a couple of times and are getting on good.
"And Buddy's going to love the garden too.
"So peace, over and out to flat life and onwards and upwards in a lovely big house."
Laura Anderson and Gary Lucy's relationship timeline
Laura and Gary met when they both appeared on Celebs Go Dating back in 2022
They announced Laura's pregnancy in February 2023
Just one day later, they revealed that they had split
Later in 2023, they appeared to have reconciled
Laura gave birth to daughter Bonnie in September 2023
They announced shortly afterwards that they were no longer together
In June, Lucy was asked if Gary had seen Bonnie, to which she responded: "No he hasn't since 2nd January if you would like to direct those questions to him as I have no control over the actions of others".
In August this year, Gary shared a video of himself with Bonnie
With Laura hitting out: "Instead of posting videos of the one time you saw your daughter this year, can you please reply to my text from 2weeks ago please, that would be great".
Laura marked Bonnie's birthday in September as she referenced her "beautiful daughter"
When someone asked where her relationship with Gary stands, Laura replied: "No matter what Gary has done and not done I will always respect him as Bonnie's father and I hope one day he is capable of being the father she deserves."
Laura has had Buddy since 2018 and used to take him everywhere with her before having her daughter with her now ex.
She previously said of Buddy and her huge flat: "I spent a fortune getting a place with a terrace specifically for him.
"Any tips are welcome. I know he must feel left out but I just don't have the time..."
TOUGH TIMES
The Scot was recently slammed for being "out of touch" after she complained about a First Class plane journey with her tot.
It came after she rushed Bonnie to hospital in November following a "terrifying" incident.
The drama was set against the backdrop of Laura's long-running feud with ex Gary, who is the father to her child.
The Hollyoaks hunk recently hit back at a troll who claimed he "never saw" his daughter.
As well as Bonnie, Gary, 42, has four other children. Two daughters and two sons with ex Emmerdale star Natasha Gray.
In June, Scottish star Laura claimed Gary hadn't seen their daughter for six months.
The reality TV favourite and soap star met and fell in love on Celebs Go Dating and after a whirlwind romance announced they were expecting.

Birmingham to host daytime rave for mums
A rave tailor-made for mothers is being held outside London for the first Saturday, Hockley Social Club in Birmingham is hosting Mums That Rave, a daytime dance party that aims to "smash stereotypes of motherhood and inspire mothers to lead a fulfilling life".It was launched by DJ Nikki Beatnik, after the birth of her child motivated her to prove that motherhood did not mean she had to lose her identity."I, for one, refuse to disappear into a life of school runs, stripy jumpers and school WhatsApp groups," she said. Since the first Mums That Rave party in 2019, there have been 22 events - until now, all in raves attract mothers from 18 to 60, although all women are welcome."It's a safe space for women and mums to claim their space on the dance floor," said DJ Nikki. "As a woman in music - I've been in the music industry my whole adult life - and as a mum as well, I know it's really important that we have these safe spaces."It's really important for mums' mental health, as well, to have fun, to have somewhere to dress up and feel comfortable and dance - it's about community." DJ Nikki said she had long been passionate about giving greater representation to mums in the "youth-obsessed" music industry, continuing to run club nights and tour with the likes of Kelis and All Saints until four days before she gave birth in 2014."When I gave birth, I realised that a few of the big clients and brands that I'd always worked with had gone quiet and more or less stopped booking me," she said. "The only thing I could really put it down to was now that I was a mum."When you're a DJ, you kind of look the same for years - but when you become a mum DJ that puts you in a different category." She decided to create something similar to her previous club nights, but at a time of day which suited women who wanted to get home for their children's bedtime, or who had to get up the next morning."It's the hardest demographic I've ever promoted parties to," she said, "because mums have so much scheduling, they take on such a big mental load."So to take an afternoon off and spend their money with me, I know I'm going to have to make that afternoon absolutely amazing for them."And the vibes have to be brilliant." Guests can expect what DJ Nikki describes as "non-mum-branded" music such as drum and bass, hip-hop, R&B, and dancehall are encouraged to attend in groups or solo, as DJ Nikki said she always made an effort to introduce new faces to regular have been coming to her parties since the start and have forged long-term friendships, she ultimate aim is to show women that motherhood does not define them."Mums that Rave really is a metaphor for the bigger picture of life, of grabbing life by the disco balls, and not thinking that everything's over for you," she explained. "Being able to pivot to another career, or another job, or make new friends."And get out there, dress up and look fabulous." Mums That Rave Birmingham takes place at Hockley Social Club from 14:00 to 18:00 BST on Saturday 7 June, with tickets available on the Mums That Rave website.

Guide dogs attend Royal Ascot as part of training
Guide dog puppies have been attending Royal Ascot as part of their socialisation training ahead of the race research from the Guide Dogs charity suggests nearly one in eight dogs can be "confused and scared" when confronted with oversized puppies, who range from 12 weeks to 10 months, were exposed to "new sights, sounds, and scents" to help their development advisor at the charity Chloe Southby said Royal Ascot offered a "unique training opportunity" of being exposed to "extravagant hats and fascinators". Ms Southby said: "Some dogs are wary of new or unusual objects like hats and may find them unsettling, especially when worn by someone they know. "It can make familiar people seem unfamiliar."That's why environments like Ascot are so valuable for socialising our puppies – helping them grow into confident guide dogs who can support people."Corporate social values manager at Ascot Racecourse Jacqui Greet said: "We are proud to provide an accessible environment for all racegoers and welcome any guest with an assistance dog."

Cal: Helen Mirren Troubles film remastered 40 years after release
When Bernard MacLaverty's Cal was adapted for screen in 1984, it received widespread praise and even earned Helen Mirren her first major award, and briefly made Belfast's Queen's Film Theatre one of the highest grossing cinemas in the UK. However, over the ensuing 40 years, the film had become lost, the only remaining version a poor quality 35mm that left the author "ashamed". Now, the film has been remastered, and was shown again in Belfast on Friday. Cal, which was adapted from the novel of the same name by Bernard MacLaverty, depicts a young Catholic man, Cal, in 1970s Northern Ireland. Cal is a member of the Provisional Irish Republican Army, and is involved in the killing of a member of the Royal Ulster Constabulary. He later falls in love with the victim's widow, who is unaware of Cal's involvement in her late husband's death. Helen Mirren, who stars as the widow Marcella, won an award for Best Actress at the 1984 Cannes Film Festival. She was the first British performer to win the award in 12 film was also nominated for the Palme d'Or, as well as two the time, the Financial Times' Nigel Andrews wrote that "Cal is the most moving and convincing portrait of life in Northern Ireland the cinema has yet given us". Cal will be screened at the Queen's Film Theatre at 6.30pm on the 6th of June. Bernard MacLaverty, who wrote the original novel, as well as the screenplay for Cal, said it has been years since he has seen the film."The last time I saw it was in Glasgow University and I was so disappointed in [the condition of] it and ashamed of it that I said I would never talk about it in public again."It was in a bad state."Mr MacLaverty said it is "exciting" that the film has now been remastered, and expects the story to retain its appeal with modern audiences. "I think the storyline is one that is universal."It's a love story. One would hope that love hasn't exited from our lives."But he feels there is some risk to the film becoming available again."Maybe it will be badly written. It may date, and I'll be the one to blame."When Cal was first screened in 1984 at the Belfast Festival, it was successful enough to warrant a further run 42 consecutive sell-out showings. Such success meant that, during the initial two weeks of screenings, the QFT became the second-highest grossing cinema in the UK outside of London. Hugh-Olding Smee, Manager of Film Hub NI, said the idea to remaster 'Cal' originated when Queen's Film Theatre (QFT) was celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2018. "Cal is a very important film to the QFT. It was really the first kind of Irish premiere that broke through, and it was very successful at the QFT when it came out."It's a very emotional film about a particular time in our history."Mr Smee said he believes the re-release of Cal is important for young filmmakers in Northern Ireland, and described the film as an "important cultural touchstone"."People have seen it the odd time down the years, but the lion's share of people haven't seen it since it came out", he said. However, Mr Smee had no doubt that the film will continue to appeal to today's audiences."MacLaverty has a gift for creating stories that are individual but universal at the same time. "It was an important story then, and it's an important story now."Mr Smee also noted the film's relevance in the context of various conflicts that continue to take place around the world, and said that art can be useful in helping people deal with traumatic situations. "Films are empathy machines. Empathy is how things get healed."
