Looking back on everyday events with our Labrador Lila, I am struck by how a total stranger has entered our lives and made herself so utterly at home. In our minds. In our hearts. (On our sofain our cupboard!) She has found a place with us. And we with her. So quickly have the years gone by that now I wish time to slow its course that we may savour each new moment.pawprints

We live ten minutes from an off lead sports oval where Lila has spent much time with dogs of all shapes and sizes, negotiating the quirks of their wildly ranging personalities.The two moodles (aka maltipoos) Topsy and Turvy have never once offered to play with Lila (too much brown dog), but she always greets them with exuberance. She loops round and round with delight undaunted by Turvys snarl-snap. But Turvy is also a romantic with a fetish when it comes to some of the girls.And then theres...dog park days

My farrier tells me that hes the only person who can enter a certain clients property without being set upon by the resident Rottweiler. When he turns up to shoe the horses, this ferocious dog flashes a broad smile and prances alongside his ute all the way to the stables. The Rotty knows that the farriers visits bring a banquet of hoof trimmings. Horse hoof. A doggy delicacy. Last week I took our Labrador Lila to meet the farrier. I thought it might broaden her horizons. She could see what...little puppy visits big brown dog

ving a stones throw away from each other, my border collie Rosie and Anns German shepherd Ette were destined to become best friends. For ten years, just the mention of the others name would prompt a surge of excitement. And they made sure that Ann and I came to the party. Our friendship ran parallel to theirs.And now, with both our old girls gone, we have embarked on a journey with two new dogs. The other morning Ann rang asking if Id mind if she stopped by with her eight-week-old GSD Jass....a morning at the market

Many months ago Id taken our Labrador Lila to the local farmers market when she was still small enough to carry in my arms (for a limited time!). Everyone rushed up to my sweet fuzzy pup and gushedvery gratifying for a proud mother. I figured a bustling market was the perfect way for an 8-week-old to experience the world.We recently revisited the same market. With Lila fully grown and making her way around on her own four feet. Except when two would occasionally leave the ground to greet a...
