I got up very early to get this photo of Butters. Generally his obedience is pretty good but he's basically still a puppy and loves testing the boundaries. This rock wasn’t far from a walking track where people had their dogs off lead and Butters had major FOMO (his...

You guys, it's nearly halfway through the year and I'm still on track with my 52 weeks project - this is my best attempt ever! Maybe having completed two books since I last tried to do a 52 weeks project has made me appreciate how satisfying it is to actually finish...

I shared one of April's 52 weeks photos in my last post so I only have three official pics in this round up. Butters is nearly 7mos now and still no sign of him stopping growing. He's overtaken Bruno but they're still the best of friends. He actually plays heaps with...

Butters is the sixth dog we’ve adopted but he’s the first puppy. We’ve fostered lots but they generally leave here by 12 weeks. Raising one that you plan to live with for the rest of it’s life is a whole different beast! Last week on my Facebook page I did a post a...

It's high time I spread some more Peanut Butter on my blog (messy, but yum!). It's week eight and I haven't missed a 52 weeks photo yet so I'm pretty smug about that. I have done a couple of lame last minute ones and the pain of having to see them included in the...

It will come as no surprise to anyone that we decided to adopt one of our foster puppies. The dog formerly known as Snoop is now called Peanut Butter – or Butters or Butterball or Butthead, depending on his behaviour - it's a very versatile name! With Chopper now 13...

I collected a pretty blue brindle dog from Hawkesbury Pound in April 2008. I'd never met her but the rescue group said she seemed like a nice dog so we offered to foster her. I dropped her at kennels to be quarantined before she could be desexed and then brought home....

Happy 8th birthday to my main man, Bruno 💗 I'm so grateful that he came into our lives seven and a half years ago. He makes us laugh, he's a great cuddle buddy and he gives the best kisses. Today he's going to do what he does best ... teach Mayhem the Staffy puppy how...

Happy 13th Birthday Chopper and belated Happy 14th Birthday Angel! I know they look all kinds of miserable in the first photo but even if they weren't having to wait to eat cake I can assure you they'd still look like sad sacks – that's their camera faces. Those fugly...
