Yesterday was my husband’s 45th birthday…birthdays are always a good reason to celebrate but for us, each one is now a wonderful gift. Because when he turned 40, life was looking rather bleak…he was so sick with end stage liver disease and every day was a struggle. He was bright yellow…a walking skeleton…and our days […]
Happy birthday to our littlest furkid, the famous Miss Charlotte! Five years ago you came into the world, and joined our little family a couple of months after. You may have been the smallest of the litter, but there was never nothing small about your attitude! You quickly let your older brother..and us…know who was […]
Today marks another milestone…it’s my husband’s birthday. It is significant because it is another year that he wouldn’t have seen if he hadn’t had a much needed liver transplant. He barely made it to his 40th birthday….he felt and looked terrible. Very jaundiced and so tired all the time, his body was slowly giving in […]
Today is our Bill’s 16th birthday…can’t believe 16 years have flown past so quickly! He has been with us through all the tough times…and is thankfully still with us now things are going well! My husband had never heard of a cairn terrier till I bought Bill home…but he was quickly converted, and they have […]

Today is our favourite city’s birthday…Melbourne is 180 years old! Settlers sailed from Van Diemen’s Land (Tasmania) in search of sheep-grazing land, and on this day, August 30, back in 1835, their ship Enterprize moored off what is now William Street. It is this landing that is officially recognised as the founding event of what […]
Today, our youngest furkid, the fabulous Miss Charlotte, turns 4! We just can’t believe how quickly the years have flown past since we first met this little fluffy dynamo! Since her last birthday, we have noticed that she is maturing…a little…she is still stubborn, opinionated and always has to have the last word. But she […]
Today our youngest furkid turns three….guess you could say she is a big girl now….but she definitely ain’t out of the teenage years yet! Miss Charlotte is a feisty brindle Cairn Terrier…she is a pure bred with papers, and has an attitude to match….but we absolutely adore her! She joined our little family after we […]
