My Castle

On the main page at the bottom you see me sitting with a sad castle. Shaun and I were given a disability holiday at Byron Bay about 18 years ago. Shaun went off with the carers while I went off with others like myself. Well my man went into a charity store, a hobby he enjoys, and found this sad castle for me, so even on a holiday he got a dollhouse for me! I put a family of mice in the top and in the dungeon underneath a witch lives and holds meetings there.

Johnny

Our gorgeous big black boy passed away suddenly as I have mentioned. Well I didn't want another dog but my family pointed out that along with losing Sirius, I had lost my Independence. Shaun worried about leaving me home alone as well, without Sirius Black to keep me safe. So Johnny came to live with us. He is a two year old white Standard Poodle who ha is a supermodel like our Daisy was. Johnny flew from Adelaide to Brisbane and my hubby had to drive three and a half hours to pick him up and they arrived home another three and a half hours at 11.30 at night. Johnny had slept all the way, so now he wanted to play!!!!. The girls were nervous of him at first so we put him to bed and here is a pic of him on his new bed.

The girls didn't take long to get to like their new brother. We call him Johnny Feonix because he rose from a puddle of tears to spread rays of sunshine which he does every single day for us.

My mum said we spelt the word wrong but our special boy deserves a special way to spell his name. He answered from the start to his new name so it was truly meant to be, Johnny Feonix coming to live with us. He loves our garden and is with the little girls, BellaDonna and Emma most of the day.

More Furry Family

Once Wunjo passed away, Sirius was extremely depressed, so we found a little mate for him at a rescue centre. BellaDonna is a moodle, and a bossy little girl, though the smallest in our family. For four days or so we told Siri he was getting a little sister and he was so excited although he didn't know what a little sister was!!! He was getting one!!! We met the rescue lady at the top of our island, and BellaDonna was handed over to Sirius who barked his hello, Bella barked back and has had the last word ever since!!! We drove to the other end of the island to show my sister our new girl. Sirius was fine with his aunty Chris holding his new 'sister' but when she took her to meet Chris' two dogs, Siri got very upset and woofed his head off. "She is MY little sister, give her back." Once Bella was back in the car Siri calmed down. He had his sister!!!

Shaun still missed Wunjo a great deal, I had BellaDonna to snuggle at night, Siri slept at the end of the bed and Shaun was lonely for his cuddly Wunjo. So we got Emma, another rescue poodle who brightens everyone's day.

Here is Emma driving our car and Shaun with his fan club.

Emma fell in love with our 17 year old cat Freya.

Furry Family

We recently lost our wonderful Sirius Black standard poodle who was so clever he deserved a medal. He helped me in the bathroom as well as fetching my medication from two different places. He also was the one to tell me when the night pills were due to be taken. He saved me from many falls, usually every day at least once. This fellow passed away simply because he drank water too fast, and too much of it. Everyone with a large dog please read up about bloat and try and prevent it from happening at your house. We knew all about and warned him all the time to drink slower, but this happened anyway. Here is my hero with my hubby Shaun.

Sirius had a best friend in our Wunjo, a miniature poodle who passed away at fifteen years old.
