1. Ivan is my first dog My cousin bought Ivan as a puppy. When he was seven he asked if we could take him. I wasn't overly keen, but Dave was, so we agreed on the condition that I could get a small dog too. I'd always owned cats growing up, I knew nothing about dogs...
1. Angel thinks she's in the army She likes to drop one shoulder and do a commando roll and then jump up and look around to see if anyone was watching! 2. Angel is not an Angel She came with the name. I wanted to change it to Pixie, but my husband thought it would...
1. Trixie was our third foster Chopper was dog #3 and our first foster failure. It took a long time for him to settle in. When we moved house and built runs I asked Dave if he wanted to try fostering again. I swore blind that I didn't want four dogs, three was enough,...
1. Chopper was our first foster We took on Ivan in March 2006 and rescued Angel three months later. When I told my husband in September that I wanted to foster a dog I promised him that I wouldn't keep it. I did mean it when I said it, but Chopper won us both over...
I bought some off camera lighting gear a few months ago. It's been sitting in the corner of my office ever since as I thought learning how to use it all was going to be a really steep learning curve. I've been trying to learn Adobe Fireworks and Adobe Dreamweaver...

Towards the end of 2008 I started learning leather craft. I found the process very frustrating at first as there were no people who specialised in dog tack nearby who could teach me. I took some classes to learn the basics, but then I bought all my own equipment and...
Chopper was my first foster dog. When he turned into a foster failure it took a long time to convince Dave that it wouldn't happen again. About two years later we moved house and had dog runs set up and I got "permission" from him to try fostering again. I promised...
We offered to foster Chopper about three months after we got Angel. He was 10 months old and he'd been living at the shelter for three months already. He'd been bought from a pet shop as a pure bred Staffordshire Bull Terrier [buyer beware!] and the reason he was...

We adopted Angel about three months after we got Ivan. I wasn't necessarily looking for a Stafford, but when she came bolting out of her run and jumped up and gave me a cuddle I knew she was exactly the kind of dog I wanted! She's very loving, more than a little...
