I am trying to focus more on getting Caleb used to other dogs. Whilst we may never get to the stage that Caleb will greet and play nicely with other dogs, I am hoping at least to get him to the point where he will not get himself all worked up when he spots another [...]

Two dogs, one human
On Friday, I will become a cycling widow for a month as Lelak leaves to cycle from Melbourne to Sydney. It will just be me and the dogs – for a whole month. Therefore, this morning we had a practice of going for our morning walk with two dogs and one human. We have a [...]

Dinner With Friends
Last night to celebrate Australia Day, we had a good old fashion BBQ at Bin and Claire’s house. Bin and Claire have just come back from living in the UK for the past 2 1/2 years. It was so wonderful to see them again and it made me realise how much I had missed them [...]

The Joys of Swimming
I really love swimming. I love the feel of water on my body and how relaxed being in the water makes me feel. I use my swimming time to unwind from the day and to think things over. I even construct blog posts in my head whilst making my way up and down the pool.

Decisions, decisions
I have been thinking over the past couple of days that I have a lot of pet knowledge gained when I was working as a veterinary nurse that I would like to share. I am sick to death of seeing all this misinformation out there on the internet about pet care and would like to [...]
