Nonchalantly, I asked Cherry to get off the couch so I could fix the blankets. As she jumped off, I murmured thank you without even thinking about it, then I realised it’s not something I normally do. This got me thinking, why don’t I say thank you to her? I talk to her like a […]
Cherry is obsessed with the vet
This is no joke. Cherry is obsessed with going to the vet. I have known dogs to be well behaved at the vets, even sometimes a bit excited for the treats… but my dog is not normal. I purposely do not walk within the 5 minute radius of our vet’s office because the moment I […]

We brought home a 5 year old foster dog from the shelter. She was rescued from a puppy mill and had never seen the outside world before. Once her last litter of puppies were weened, the shelter began socialising her but she was too terrified for kennel life so she came to live in our […]
