A man wearing a short sleeve collared shirt is holding a large wooden tray. A silver tabby cat is standing on the tray, smooching his arm with her tail up in the air.
Toni let me pick her up on the tray! My arms got tired before she got sick of the ride ๐

Close-up of Peggy, a ginger dog, with her ears back and her chin on my hand. She has a dusting of grey hair around her muzzle.
Peggy just did a very loud fart, and gave herself a frighten! ๐ถ #AotearoaPets
Patti helping with her first flat pack build. She would like to chew this fresh pine pls #ikeakaha #aotearoapets

Pork bones and a hock in a pressure cooker with onions, spring onions, garlic, ginger. There is a silver tabby cat looking up from inside the window.
Cooking tonkatsu broth today in preparation for Valentine's. Toni got one whiff of the bonito flakes and she's obsessed!

The fluffy scruffy black cat, sitting in his usual one-paw-forward โroast chickenโpose, but today his floofy hindquarters are exhibiting an unusually spiky and accidentally haute couture profile. Fresh off an Issey Miyake catwalk perchance?
Issey Miyake โCOVER AND FOLDโ sculptural pants, menโs, black, 100% polyester. If you can afford them, theyโre here https://eu.isseymiyake.com/products/cover-and-fold-trousers-black - and if not, just maybe lick your existing pantaloons the wrong way? Works for Loki, the accidental fashionista!
In these tough times, glad at least one of us can afford high-fashion trousersโฆ #aotearoapets
Photo of small Australian cattle dog lying on her side with her legs folded giving the side eye, in her crate, door open, blanket bunched up beside her
Pointed sighing and thumping turning in her (open) crate. She really is so (not) chill about just working from home with me today. #patti #acd #blueheeler #aotearoapets
Loki, a black Newfoundland dog, is lying on a blue duvet, with a green ball in front of him.
Well that's a first. I didn't even know he could get on the bed. He'd better not get too comfortable! ๐ถ #AotearoaPets

Moglet's current favourite spot is hanging out on our CCTV controller box. I guess it's warm? ๐ฑ๐ณ๐ฟ #aotearoapets
Kip is a schipperke x cocker spaniel/poodle cross. He's pictured stood on a log on the beach with a bandana.
Kip from a few days ago, looking very shaggy with a long winter coat, panting on a dark leather sofa.
Kip reclining in the same place, very short hair by comparison, with fluffy ears and bushy tail.
Kip's been groomed, nay transformed! and is looking very dapper in his summer coat. Cooler too.

Loki, a black Newfoundland dog with a white patch on his chest. He has been clipped short except for his giant pom-pom head. He's sitting looking at the camera.

Finally got a couple of halfway decent pics of Loki with his extreme haircut! Big head and skinny legs. But he's so much more comfortable now. ๐ถ #AotearoaPets
Sox snoozing on a white floor mat, belly flat on the mat, head resting on her cheek between her white paws, as if prostate before her god.
I take far too many photos of these cats, but when you find them snoozing like this, what can one do? ๐

Witnessed a dog attack on the beach today, territorial misunderstanding by the looks, no harm done but prompted me to repeat this plea.
Dogs behave differently away from home territory. Please be aware.
Meri Kerimete & Happy New Year!

I was honestly about to weed-whack the bank ๐

Kip with his snoot poking out of a blue cotton blanket and an unsure look on his face, the furry tip of a grey paw is visible too.
I semi-swaddled Kip on the sofa and he love hates it ๐

The fluffy vampire cat sprawled on his favourite corner of the red rug, fangs bared, one bright eye open, tuckered out at the end of a loooong week.
Out for the count ๐ง #aotearoapets
Sitting in the garden on a gorgeous early summer Friday evening, gazing up at the blue blue sky, I discover I am being coolly surveilled from the patio roof by a vampiric being in the form of the fluffy fang-faced black cat whoโs got himself up there and is now complaining about it.
I feel seenโฆ ๐โโฌ๐ง๐ฆ #aotearoapets
Kip our schipperke spaniel cross reclining on the sofa, snoot propped on the armrest, his scruffy grey face looking up with ears alert.
I don't know why, but I like the way he's gazing at me as he falls asleepโบ๏ธ

Oh dear, poor little Peggy isn't enjoying this thunderstorm nearly as much as I am. #AotearoaPets ๐ถ
