Bye Bye Hoppy
We said goodbye to our dear cat, Hoppy today. She was 18 years old, and the last of her family that was brought into our lives by their mother many years ago. She was an adorable cat. She would accept rubs and loving ear scratches for as long as you’d do them. She only ever…
Happy Gotcha Day, Diego!
Diego, our chihuahua, came into our lives on this day many years ago. He’s a little older now, and maybe a little wiser too, especially when it comes to treats and getting cuddles. He loves playing with toys. He has a strong fetch instinct, and he will run back and forth across the kitchen to…
Diego in his blanket
Diego in his blanket after waking up from a sleep. This is an old photo of him from 2017, but I’m posting it today because he’s at the vet’s office after getting an x-ray. He hasn’t been himself for some time and let out loud yelps from time to time but he was diagnosed with…
Diego says Merry Christmas!
An old photo of Diego from a few years back when he was dressed up as Santa. He’s used to wearing coats and I think he looks adorable in this one!
My comfortable Pets
First up is Hoppy. She’s around 13 and only has three legs but she’s a fast mover. In the past she didn’t mind the cold but now she likes to avoid it. Here’s Mommy Cat. She’s Hoppy’s mom. She’s around 16 as best we can guess, as she was around for a few years before…
Diego, king of the castle
Who rules this house? The animals do! Diego, our tiny chihuahua, sits in a bed sometimes claimed by one of our cats, Hoppy. She was very unhappy that Diego was in there. He’s the king of all he sees. Isn’t he handsome in his new jacket? It’s lovely and warm and made with love by…
Diego and Friend

Diego is Tired
Diego loves lying in the warm sun.
Hoppy and Diego “relaxed”
Our cats and our dog get on pretty well but…
Diego in Town
Dogs don’t need to wear masks around people, thankfully. He hates being left at home. As soon as he has an inkling that we’ll be going out he will sit by me looking directly at my face. If I’m not looking at him he starts jumping up looking for attention. He’s a small dog, but…
1,000 Days of Photos
Somehow I’ve managed to post a photo a day (with only one or two interruptions, one of which was because of a DDOS on my hosting provider) for 1,000 days. To celebrate I give you not one, but two photos of my dear dogs. Oscar was a cranky old soul, but we discovered his teeth…
Diego on the bed
It’s so hard not to spoil this dog. He weighs 2kg but he has a huge heart full of love.
