Focus On Pekingese Haven
Life gives us two choices – to live oblivious or removed from the plight of others, or to get involved and help where possible. We chose to look into the eyes of souls who need rescue, protection, and safe haven, and we committed ourselves to doing all we can to make a difference. Our passion is focused on the unique needs of a very misunderstood breed – the Pekingese. We’ve come to understand that, despite their undeniable cuteness and appeal as a fluffy addition to a family, not everyone is meant to be an owner of a Pekingese.

Should We Have A System To Identify Lameness In Sheep?
Facing hoof problems in a sheep flock can be overwhelming. Producers are often left to sort out hoof problems on their own. This can be partially because cattle are difficult to treat and require the help of professional hoof trimmers who can help producers to identify hoof lesions, as well as perform proper trimming.

Redefining Plett Rage
The call I received from my friend Alastair at 06h00 on a Friday at the start of our year-end holiday was inevitable during the advancing second wave of Covid-19 cases, but it was one I had hoped to avoid. His entire family had just tested positive for the virus and we had just given his son, Alec, a lift from Cape Town to Plettenberg Bay to join us for a few days of holiday. Alec qualified uncomfortably as a close contact, having spent eight hours in the car with us and then slept in the same dorm room as all my kids for two nights.

A Wahlberg's Summer
Wahlberg’s Eagles have always been close to my heart and when the opportunity arose to photograph a breeding pair at the nest, I grabbed it with both hands. It all started when Marius, my future son-in-law, told me early in 2019 about an eagle’s nest in a thorn tree near the Sand River on the farm where he lives in Limpopo. He sent me a photograph of the two eagles at the nest and I immediately recognised them as a pair of Wahlberg’s. To add to my excitement, one of them was a pale morph.
