Street Dog Smart: Maboneng and Newtown

Joburg is boring… There’s nothing to do in Joburg… How do you live in Joburg? It’s so ugly! Any of this sound familiar?

  • "Why you so beautiful?"⁠ ⁠ "Are you the cutest?"⁠ ⁠ "Do you know how much I love you?"⁠ ⁠ "Do you love me?"⁠ ⁠ "Are you the best dog in the world?"⁠ ⁠ These are a handful of the sweet nothings I whisper to Floki (and Rocket) throughout the course of the day 😂 hbu?⁠ ⁠ When Emma asked if she could spend an afternoon in our home to take "documentary style" images, I wasn't 100% sure what result she was going for...⁠ ⁠ Then as I scrolled through the photos yesterday, I got it ✨ ⁠ Moments like this are rarely if ever, documented. Because who is going to take the photo?⁠ ⁠ You might live alone with your furry love, or you might have a partner to snap a candid moment here and there.⁠ ⁠ But if your partner is anything like my hubby, you're probably not going to get the result you're after 🤦🏻‍♀️😂⁠ ⁠ Thanks to Emma, I have plenty of gorgeous images of my boys 😍 ⁠ If you'd like to capture these moments too, you can get 15% off an At Home Documentary Style Shoot with her when you use my discount code: DOG-BLOG at checkout. ⁠ Click this image on the link in my bio to book, you won't regret it!⁠ 🤩 ⁠ Much love and light,⁠ Lisa & Floki x⁠ 📷: @emmaobrienphoto
  • When life gives you birthdays... eat cake 😋 My little Floki love is 3 today! I still feel so lucky that we decided to “just go look” at the puppies up for adoption, the day he was ready to go home 🥰 Thank you universe ✨ #itsmybirthday #cakeislife
  • Where did this tiny tot go? 🥺 Well to be fair... he’s still tiny 😂 But I’d still give anything to go back in time and take more pictures and videos of him! 😭 Have you ever had professional photos taken of your furry love? If not, then I highly recommend you snap up one of @emmaobrienphoto’s fantastic discount vouchers before it’s too late! Even if you have had a photoshoot, is there such a thing as too many photos of your dog? Especially when Emma’s images make the perfect wall art! 😍 Click this image in my linkin.bio, book a shoot as soon as you can and enjoy your beautiful dog art 🥰 Much love, Rocket & me xx
  • Dear South Africans... Black Lives Matter is not a trend or a hashtag or a random Instagram shout out and that’s it. This is REAL LIFE. These wounds run deep. So before you start preaching about understanding your privilege and give yourself a pat on the back, I suggest you check yourself. It’s easy to jump on the #justiceforgeorge bandwagon and join in the global outrage when Minneapolis is 14 000 kms away. If black lives mean so much to you then start truly acting like it and keep that momentum going after you’ve long forgotten George Floyd’s name... Black people are starving to death in South Africa every single day and will likely now starve AND freeze as winter sets in. Do their lives not matter? Will you be there when another xenophobic attack happens on our doorstep? How about when a child is raped and murdered? Men and women attacked and killed by “over enthusiastic” police officers? Will you use your platform and your voice to hold the powers that be accountable in the future? If the South African government can pull together and come up with an intensely detailed and structured lockdown plan, to “fight” the spread of covid, why can’t they apply the same attitude to everything else? Covid-19 is not a pandemic. Racism is a pandemic. Crime is a pandemic. And lastly... I leave you with an excerpt from my beautiful friend @tammyjadels post; simply put for those who do not understand or question this movement: All lives matter - all the time. That’s not the question is it? Who is saying all lives do not matter? Making a point about all other police shootings is like saying “why is there a Cancer research charity?” What about AIDS, Polio... etc etc. There should be just one charity “All Diseases Matter” ... the point being each cause can have it’s own individual struggle. All struggle is not the same. ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼✊🏻
  • Quarantine but make it Fashion⚡️⁠ ⁠ Almost exactly 2 years ago, I published an interview with one of my favourite dogs on the planet, the iconic Fashion Hound aka Jane 🤩⁠ ⁠ The tables were turned on me this week as I had my first ever interview with Jane's momager and photographer, Emma O'Brien 😮⁠ ⁠ Emma asked me to talk a bit about the blog and what my favourite blog post is. We both got so chatty, I forgot to mention that Confessions of a Fashion Hound is definitely a firm favourite!⁠ ⁠ ⁠ Jane is a regal beauty and master of her craft and if you're in need of some comic relief (especially after the news that we are crawling down to Lockdown Level... 4.85? 🤔) then I highly recommend you click through to the article via my link in bio 😂⁠ ⁠ If you feel inspired by Jane's tips and tricks, have an obliging pooch and are looking for a creative outlet to help pass the lockdown days along, I'd love to see what you come up with!⁠ ⁠ Tag me and Emma so we can share the laughs and keep everyone smiling on this crazy journey!⁠ 🤗⁠ ⁠ xo⁠ ⁠ Lisa⁠ ⁠ PS. I'll be sure to let you know once my interview with Emma is live eeeek 😬
