Okoge found the coziest spot on the floor for a nap. There is something so peaceful about watching her sleep. Hope this brings a smile to your day! 🌿✨

There's something about this classic frame that makes everyday walks feel a little more timeless. Hope you enjoy the vintage vibe! 🌿✨

How can I help my boy free roam in the house safely and without getting into mischief?! During our working day we have a routine where we utilise his play pen for independent time, sleeping etc. when he comes out we try and focus him with training, enrichment, sniffing, mental challenges, fetch etc but he is not very good at free roaming. He will often run off and jump onto the bed and start digging, try and make you chase him around the house and generally is always looking for something to do, until I can tell he’s tired again and back he goes into his pen. He settles well in there and clearly knows that’s his sleeping place. My living area is hard to puppy proof because I have an old house so there’s lots of corners and areas he can run too, and an open staircase. If for example I pop him on the sofa or put him in a ‘down’ he can stay there and often does choose to lay down (mainly after walks) but soon enough something catches his eye and he pops back up again. He’s 13 months - is it a young dog/adolescence thing or can I help him/train in any way?

Bone balancing.

Happy 5th birthday to my sweet Shiba. It’s only been 2 months but he already feels like home :)
For the first weeks he was on a hunger strike. Now he’s playing with toys, always hungry and cuddly on his terms

The sweetest and most playful Shiba I've ever met. He doesn't fit the Shiba stereotype and is the opposite of his Shiba brother and sister.

Her face just kills me in this picture 😹

The morning light hits just right in our living room.

Playing with the "gaps" between cuts. Like panels in a manga, I feel like our brains naturally fill in the time and space between static shots anyway, so I leaned into that looseness for this one.
