It's hard to believe that just a week ago we were

It's hard to believe that just a week ago we were wallowing in the buttercups thinking Summer had arrived early. Tonight we are receiving an absolute deluge! Who else is soaking in the weather right now?!

This handsome boy is named Toby and he visited the

This handsome boy is named Toby and he visited the farm recently for a farm photography experience with his little brother and sister. The amazing thing about Toby, apart from his good looks, is that I met him way back in 2014 when he was at the pound! I couldn't believe it when his pawrents told me he was from the same pound I used to volunteer for out at Austral. I went searching through my archives and I found three photos I took. He had already been adopted that day but I remember I couldn't resist snapping a few photos of him. Who would have thought he'd be visiting the farm all these years later 💗💗💗

We've been gorging out on mulberries this past wee

We've been gorging out on mulberries this past week as we have a mulberry tree which is fruiting unbelievably for a not so large tree. Last year we were in a drought so we didn't get much of a crop at all. The strange part is that our mulberries don't seem to have any interest from the natural world at all... birds, insects, or mammals. Well, actually, just one member of the natural world... Chrissie Hynde! This little lady loves mulberries and as you can see from her stained face, she's getting her fair share. We adopted Chrissie in November last year and early this year she somehow lost half of her bottom beak and had a huge abscess on her cheek as her wattle disintegrated in the process. We had to have this lanced and since then Chrissie has powered on and is the leader of the flock. She constantly looks surprised... we love her and she loves food. She loves mulberries... a lot! 😹😹😹 #ChickenTuesday

In loving memory of Schnitzel 💜 Another star o

In loving memory of Schnitzel 💜 Another star of my "Teeny Tiny Dogs and Their Stories" book has joined the stars in the sky to watch over his family who loved him so much. You may remember Bear, Schonda and Echo who I photographed for the same family back in 2016 just before I lost my Mum unexpectedly. I'll share their photo in the comments. Well it was this same beautiful family who adopted Schnitzel after Bear and Schonda passed away within a few months of eachother. Bear just a week after the photo session. This is the heartbreak that comes with adopting senior dogs, which is outweighed by so much more joy than ever imaginable. Schnitzel helped bring joy back into the home when there was so much sadness. He became great mates with Echo, who sadly passed away in February last year. Since then Rosie and Winnie joined the family and are also stars of the Teeny Tiny Dogs and Their Stories Book. They are missing their Schnitzel greatly too. Schnitzel's Mum Kieran has been through so much heartache these past four years, and she was there for me when I was going through the heartache of losing my Mum. I feel so honoured to be the photographer of choice for the family's beloved furkids. Honouring people's dogs is what I do for a profession and it's times like this which really bring home how important it is to have beautiful memories to cherish. Our dogs deserve nothing less. Big love and hugs to Kieran and her family who are still hurting at the loss of Kieran's "wing man" Schnitzel who passed on 27 September 2020. I'll finish up with a quote from Kieran that was part of Schnitzel's story in my book: "I love everything about Schnitzel but if I had to say what makes my heart sigh it would be his eyes. He has the most deep and expressive eyes and when he looks at me I can see the love and devotion. Can’t help but get a bit teary-eyed...how did I get so lucky..." 💗💗💗

On Saturday morning met this little guy just minut

On Saturday morning met this little guy just minutes after he was born. I got the call to hurry as his Mum Dolly was finally about to give birth. Despite waiting a few weeks after his due date, it seems he was keen to join this world as it was a very quick birth! This is the first time I've photographed a newborn foal and it was one of the most amazing experiences to date. I spent almost 2 hours observing and it's incredible how quickly they progress in those first few hours. By the time I left he was doing zoomies with his Mumma. It's foaling season so I'm sure I'll be meeting more newborns soon, but for now, I have loads of photographs to look through... I'll be writing a blog to share more and will share the link here when it's done.

Happy First Gotcha to Henry O’ Henry 💗💗💗 This post is way overdue, however I've been a little crazy here behind the scenes due to a big wind storm and a power surge and four-hour power outage 10 nights ago here in Wootton. It wasn't until the next day that I discovered it destroyed the hard drive on my main work computer, my iMac. Thankfully I have a very stringent data backup process and all my files were backed up both locally and in the cloud. The process of restoring though is a long and tedious one! Anyhoo, in the midst of all that was a very special First Gotcha Day for our big boy Henry. Henry came into our lives after he was next on the list for euthanasia at the local pound up here. I put my hand up to foster him and the rest as they say is history! We failed and Henry joined our family permanently a few weeks later. Even though he's a big boy who adores us, our 3 little dogs, our chickens, and our ducks, he is also the neediest dog in all the land. I'm not sure what his past was like, but he craves love and affection like no other dog. He's a big wuss but we love him to bits. He enjoys rolling in fresh cow poo and eating it too sometimes, much to his gut's dislike. Henry's number one favourite toy in the whole world is his footballs... all four of them. Although I need to go out and buy some more as he's punctured two in the last week, including the one in this photo. Henry isn't a fan of posing so much for me, but give him his footy and he's as happy as Larry. Happy Gotcha Day Henry O' Henry Lyons 💗💗💗

Sneak peek of darling Peggy the senior Pug 💗💗💗 Sweet Peggy and her younger sister and fellow Pug, Knuckles, came up to our farm for their farm photography session. Their Mum was a trooper and drove them all the way from Kellyville to spend a beautiful couple of hours relaxing with them on the farm. Peggy is almost 14 years and her Mum adopted her from a rescue at 6.5 yrs. Peggy was very overweight (16.5kgs and is now under 9kg), and the second Peta met her at the rescue she fell in love and knew I would do anything to make her happy and healthy again. Peggy has developed degenerative myelopathy in her senior years and has limited movement in her back legs so cannot walk unaided. It was such a heartwarming experience to see the love and care puts into making sure Peggy is comfortable, happy, and loved. I could see the love... Peggy adores her Mumma 💗💗💗

Sneak peek of teeny tiny Marlie <3 This little ba

Sneak peek of teeny tiny Marlie <3 This little ball of fluff spent a chilly afternoon on the farm on Saturday with her family including her brothers Ollie and Toby. Marlie's Mumma describes her as wild, adventurous, alpha dog, cuddly, determined, boss. All these and so much more! So much personality packed into one teeny tiny body. "Marlie, a 2kg pocket rocket is the boss of the house - no one questions this! Marlie is our wild, fearless and adventurous girl who loves loud noises and helping her dad who is a builder - especially when he has the loud power tools out! In Summer (and winter, but mum doesn't approve) Marlie loves to jump in the lake and go for a swim with the ducks! She's a big dog stuck in a Pomeranian's body! Marlie only plays with Plant pots - throwing them into the air and catching them all day long!" Priceless! 💗💗💗
