Spike’s tummy was rumbling. It has been rumbling forever. He has very a specific gastronomical constitution. His guardian has tried raw feeding, wet food, low-fat diet, grain-free diet, freshly cooked food to no avail. It was upsetting. Every morning, he would wake up stretching his abdomen in discomfort, followed by a bout of vomiting afterContinue reading “K.I.S.S.”

It had just rained. The grass was wet but not waterlogged. The smell is distinctly clean and fresh. Bertie was running with his older brother (from a different mother) in a game of chase. He was 6 months old and his brother was 2 years old. His brother was naturally faster, spanning his long legsContinue reading “No Rush”

Frankie sits patiently looking at his guardian, relaxed and contented. He lifts his paw and receives a treat in return. He places the paw down, spins a full 360 degrees to face his guardian again, only to receive another treat. He then rolls over on his back, promptly sits up again, and is rewarded withContinue reading “Habits 3 – Habits that last”

The sucking of the door seal as the fridge door opened was heard by Bryant. The rattle of the dry biscuits in his food bowl was well recognized. Lastly, the holler from his guardian, “Bryant… dinner time!” was all too familiar to him. Immediately, he leapt up and saliva dripped from his jowls as heContinue reading “Habits 2 – Your Thoughts”

The sun was setting, laying a brilliant hue of pink across the sky at dusk. It has been a long day of playing, walking and exploring for Mossy. It was time for rest. He scratched his bed frantically for a few minutes, circled around it clockwise three times and then four times counter-clockwise before layingContinue reading “Habits 1 – The Power”

This was written in gratitude to one of the greatest teams I had the honour and pleasure to work with, my Amity Team. Thank you, Ella, Sarah, and Madeleine. May you continue your journey with me to fulfill our greatest potential together. A rabbit nibbled at the grass oblivious to the danger it was in.Continue reading “T.E.A.M.”

Rosie sat by her guardian watching all the dogs play. She was waiting for her playmate, Rory, who was also her brother from the same litter. They had been playing since they were born. The guardians were siblings who walked them together often. They enjoyed walking in the woods, in the park, along the beach,Continue reading “Family”

Nando’s eyes lit up. You can see the sparkle in them as he grins mischievously. There is a lightness to his steps. He jumps in the air and twists in glee. His sharp bark is filled with joy. He runs from corner to corner at times. If you saw him, you would not have realiseContinue reading “How free are you?”

Hector, a handsome three-year-old German Shepherd, was hopping up and down as it was walkies-time! It was drizzling slightly, typical for the start of the late April/early May shower. His guardian, Pam had been at work at day and was looking forward to some nature and fresh air. Once his collar was put on andContinue reading “It is SO BORING!”

Saffy has had a full day. Apart from her usual twice-a-day meals and two walks, she had barked at the postman, enjoyed nipping around his ankles (but not actually biting), and been amused by him jumping around, posting the letters before running away. She had chased a ginger cat up the wall only to findContinue reading “How do you sleep at night?”
