Growing up with dogs

As I mentioned in my post here I am currently working on a collection to benefit the stray dog. I am happy to say it is well underway and I am working on it quite furiously. More on that in the next few posts.

For right now many of you have written in to ask me why dogs? I say why not? I love dogs, I’ve grown up around them, they were always part of family…

After Rana we were too heart broken to keep another dog. But fate had something else in store for us. My parents and I had the absolute joy of having Natasha or Tasha (as she was called) with us for two years. Her original family were posted to Russia and she would never have survived quarantine for two months. So we dog sat her 🙂 She was an absolute doll, a gorgeous golden Labrador again. It was heart breaking to give her back to her original family but I wouldn’t trade those two years for anything. Sadly I can’t find pictures of her. Will update as and when I do.

My kids are at that age where they are now demanding a dog. And I am finding ways not to get one. Mind you, I am fast losing that battle. But with our current situation and living in a flat, with two VERY active kids, a husband who travels…. very hard to do.
