I’m how old? | Sydney Dog Photographer

Ivan got quite a shock today when he found out that it's his eleventh birthday! Because he shares a house with three adolescents I think he forgets his age sometimes. He may be 77 in dog years, but he can still run around and carry on like a fool just as competently...

Chopper’s new bling

Chopper’s new bling

Apparently Santa didn't get the memo this year about Chopper sometimes being a bit naughty, so on Christmas morning this shiny little number was under the tree for the boy. Doesn't he look handsome? It's 6mm thick brown bridle leather with solid brass hardware and...
