Last Thursday Chloe had to be put down. Sad day for me and Mum. Chloe was my dog but when I moved the UK she went to go stay with Mum and they really grew close over the years. When I moved back to SA and then to Kidds Beach, Chloe stayed with Mum. She was getting old by then and struggled with mobility, but they also had such a special relationship so it seemed unfair to split them. So she stayed and was her stately self till the end.…

Yesterday an absolute gem came into my life, Mal. An absolutely beautiful animal in his nature and looks. Not only has he already made himself at home, he has made himself a little home in my heart.

On Friday morning he left his siblings and made his way to the Durban airport where he would…

What a week. Usually when folks say this on a Friday they talking about the manic week they’ve had at work and how pleased they are the week is finished and they can relax on the weekend.

Best way to describe it would be to imagine yourself nice and content having…

This morning one of my dearest friends passed. His name was Bono, he was my friend, my companion and I will miss him. Where ever he went he brought his own joyous mixture of love and affection for all those around him. Touching lives where ever he went and bringing a smile to all those that met him. The world is a poorer place today. I’ll write more about this amazing animal again, but for now enjoy some pictures and wonderful memories with me. Click the images to enlarge. More…

Woke up this morning a touch later than normal but still nice an early! Decided to get the day and year off to the right start and took myself and Bono for nice walk. As I stepped outside I was greeted with a great rumbling… a storm approaching. It’s been so hot that it’s really not unexpected, perhaps even surprised that it’s taken so long. Anyway I figured even if we get wet it will be awesome so off we went. Got some great pics down by the tidal pool.…

Sad news tonight. Speaking to my Mum earlier and she told me my lovely Chloe is not doing so well. Her hips are causing her a lot of pain. She now has to have a weekly injection to help. Miss you Chloe, wish I could give you a big hug you big teddy bear.
