Mylo, a yorkie that was taken from the CSPCA Animal’s Home in Mahon, Cork. He’s looking a lot healthier than he was when he was adopted and left the care of the CSPCA. I was lucky to get this shot as he’s such an excitable dog he was jumping up and down, wagging his tail [...]

Here’s a Springer that played with my son Adam at the beach in Fountainstown. They had a great time together! Almost recovered. Stomach is [...]

When I say “family cat”, I of course mean, Gerry’s cat, because Gerry took special care of all the cats in the family until she got sick and the burden of care mostly fell on my father-in-law Frank’s shoulders. He will tell you [...]

Hungry Cat
Filed in Animals, Black and White, Canon 10-22, Canon 20D, Co. Cork, Cork, Ireland, UrbanA hungry, scrawny cat came up to us while walking around Schull in Co. Cork last weekend.
