OUR UGA.
The day our Uga, came into our lives was one that I consider probably the luckiest day of our lives. At least that's how I look at it. One day at a family BBQ, that was at my brother-in-law's house, we all were outside at the time, some were chasing kids around others tossing the football back & forth, and some were just sitting around and talking to one another.

Tiny Paws - Chum
Before I start, you'll probably think that I am a liar if I tell you that I had never seen a cat in my village. I still don't, there are so many dogs and even cattle but cats, I have no idea what's the deal. But I sure am the lucky one. It was like a blessing to have one if you ask me.

A Wandering Soul
In life, we are at times met with situations that cannot be explained by our own earthly terms. Events take place that leave us wondering how things fell the way they did, how our hearts could have gotten so lucky. When this happens, we tend to call these miracles. It's a word that, when taken into context, means an unnatural phenomenon. Something incredulous. Something that honestly had little to no chance of taking place. I would like to tell you the story of the time that I found mine.

A Second Chance
September 2019 our beloved Golden Retriever, Sophie, passed away at 14 years old. We were immeasurably saddened, moving us to tears for quite some time afterwards just thinking about her. In her memory we enshrined her signature red collar with a tag inscribed with the words, "Sophie, She Loved", because that is exactly what she did to everyone; family, friend, or stranger.

A Second Chance
For as long as I could remember, I was always drawn to animals, particularly dogs, with an intense desire to help any stray that crossed my path. At eight years old, I experienced my first rescue situation when my neighbor and I found three Rottweiler puppies under a wooden board in a park in our small suburb in Sydney. We ran home to grab blankets and pulled the puppies out, and brought them to my backyard. They were covered in fleas and looked malnourished. We fed them and gave them some water as I tried to devise a plan to convince my parents to let me keep them. When my mom came outside and realized what was going on, she explained that these pups would one day be full size, and with all of the traveling we had planned, it would not be reasonable. We called the RSCPA, an Australian animal rescue, who came and got the pups. Three weeks later, we visited the shelter, and the pups looked healthy and were going to their new homes. It was a special moment that has stayed with me through adulthood and increased my desire to help and to adopt a dog in the future.

Wings of an Angel
The day Vixen died was like any other day. Not the sort when you expect your 15 month old Border Collie to go downhill and pass in her sleep. There was no rhyme or reason to it. It happened so fast, no one knew how to react. That day, a piece of my brother's heart broke forever.

Adopt or shop?
Back and forth I’d go every week with my dad to the shelter about 40 minutes away from home, a place for dogs that have no place to call home. Walking through this building every weekend, it was clear that the little fluffy delights that sat in those cages where mislead by some people. From every angle dogs barked with excitement of my presence, but sadly also cried for my attention and hollowed to be noticed. While I paced the paths around the dog centre, my body carries me to every cage to greet each dog as I pass them.
