Breaking out the old reliable cactus dress for #MeMadeMay today, as the weather finally decided what it's doing and turns out what it's doing is Being Hot.
This is the Peppermint Everyday Dress, a very beginner-friendly option (with pockets!) that I will always recommend to nervous would-be sewists.
World's best trainee guide dog sold separately.

Foster dog Kath has had a sleepover at a potential forever home, and nothing is certain yet but it's looking like a good match for her.
I'm having emotions. Here's a pic of her failing to sleep in her bed.

Today we were invited out to see Kath doing a proper guide walk in her harness and omg, she is so clever! We're super proud of our girl!
That's me tentatively figuring out where the kerb is, after she'd walked me to the edge and then stopped to alert me.
I had my eyes shut and could't see a thing, but she helped me navigate around bins and parked cars and was just generally amazing 😭

Back from guide dog school early today. She thought she had enough energy left to play with me but we made it one fetch of the favoured green ball, a half-hearted chew, and now she's fallen asleep with it instead.

Today is the kind of day that calls for happy distractions. So here's one!
Her name is Kath, she's our new trainee guide dog foster, she's very cheeky and I can't get a better photo right now because she's just settled and I don't want to move and disturb her.

#lokiOfPineview has done an excellent job giving her appropriate corrections. it's fascinating watching dogs speak dog, something i'm simply unable to do. he's quick, has great bite inhibition, and backs off immediately once she complies with what he's asking.

DOG DAYS ARE HERE
On Nov. 14, 2025, I had the honour and pleasure of taking in a foster dog named Charlie.
I did not make the choice to foster a dog lightly. As someone who grew up with a dog, I knew how much responsibility and time caring for a dog takes.
I can now confirm that the adage of rescue dogs saving the people that take them in is true.
Since COVID-19, this seed of loneliness was planted in me, but having Charlie around has helped me regrow my curiosity for life and the great outdoors.
Charlie is a half German Shephard, half American Dingo. He grew up in Texas and he was left to fend for himself on the streets for about six months before being taken in by a kind lady, who contacted the Dog Rescue Society (DRS).
The DRS is a foster-based, volunteer-run organization based in Kitchener, and their mission is to rescue, rehabilitate and re-home dogs in need, while creating a supportive community of adopters and fosters. Usually, their foster programs take about three to four months.
For the first few weeks, he was in what is known as the decompression phase—what he needed most was a quiet, structured and safe place to be.
I remember our first walk together was around the block outside of my apartment building. He was skittish and anxious, much like me. I felt like maybe I was in over my head, maybe it was too long since I had a dog and I was not equipped to be a good dog parent.
But when he looked up at me with his hopeful big brown eyes on the elevator ride up to our apartment, I felt like we were in this together.
For the first few days we were on a strict structured routine of waking up at the same time, eating at the same time and walking at the same time during the day. It was a way to introduce structure to Charlie’s life, especially since his life was turned so completely upside down. The more time has passed the more Charlie’s personality has manifested. He is a confident dog who takes life in stride. Though doubtless he feared me when we first met, he was nothing but cordial to me. He is curious, playful and full of energy for life. All things that a depressed human like me lack sometimes.
Since the start, we’ve settled into a similar but less rigid routine. Due to some difficulties with mental health issues, having another reason to get out of bed and get some exercise has been a lifesaver. I’m happy I got to help Charlie, and he in turn has helped me quite a lot.
Charlie is currently up for adoption. If you are interested, check out his profile and others on the DRS website at thedogrescuesociety.net.

Back in the studio working on new material with the help of my little friend 🐶🥳. First song of my next EP is almost ready! 🎶
Also if it still takes a while until everything is recorded and arranged I’m already very exited! The roots of the songs go back 12 years. Crazy!

On Saturday @Jamies and I drove down to Exeter for a meet & greet for Foster Boy Basil. All went well and he's now off on trial with his (hopefully) furever family, including a chocolate Labrador (which we said when he first arrived was probably exactly what he needed!)
On the way back through Sydney we picked up Betsy, who is Basil's littermate and even cuter! She's a beautiful, friendly, energetic young girl who is sure to bring plenty of fun and excitement to her furever family.
Betsy has met our resident cats and has shown no real interest in them (yay!)
Betsy has been in foster care for a few weeks already (we're taking over from another foster carer), so her profile is already up and she is available for adoption.
Take a look at her petrescue profile! Feel free to reach out to me directly if you have any questions.
