Off-lead hooning at our favourite SniffSpace

Here's a photo essay on why we don't take our dogs to dog parks. Let's just say their play style wouldn't be everyones cup of tea (and I didn't even include any photos where they're hanging out of each other with mouths full of neck)! So when we heard about...

Adopt Me 06.22 – Adopt a Dog Sydney

This month's adoptables are all from Fetching Dogs and if they're wearing a fancy collar it's made by Ruffined Designs (me!). The fleece vests were also made by me for those puppies when they were sick but they'll no doubt be adopted long before they grow into them!...
