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?

  • Did you know that my Mom is from Zimbabwe? 🇿🇼 I have often heard her say that she was born in Durban, raised in Zimbabwe and has been living in Joburg for 14 years. On Tuesday this week she spent the morning in tears, scrolling through her personal account’s Instagram feed... I didn’t know why she was sad but I made sure I curled up extra close to comfort her 💛 Later, I heard her telling Dad that her heart was sore for Zim, as she showed him many deeply disturbing videos and images, which have emerged across social media. She said the “Zimbos” are incredible people. She’s tired of seeing them suffer like this, it’s been ongoing for far too long and it’s only getting worse... The day our Instagram feed turned black, Mom questioned why South Africans have not cared to speak up before? After all, there are millions of people in SA living in poverty, dealing with extreme violence and corruption on a daily basis. Our black lives should matter just as much and this does not exclude our neighbouring countries. She saw no tributes or outrage (even on a national scale) for Collins Khosa- 1 of many killed by police brutality in lockdown. Or Tshegofatso Pule who was 8 months pregnant, found stabbed and hanging from a tree 💔 Only adaptations of overseas ideals, most of which hold zero relevance in South Africa. The more these headlines were discarded, the more disappointed she became. So she wants to ask again... “Will you be there when another xenophobic attack happens on our doorstep? When men and women are attacked and killed by “over enthusiastic” police officers? Will you use your platform and your voice to hold the powers that be accountable..?” And now, South Africa, will you stand for Zimbabwe? Our neighbours who are suffering? Our African lives... Or will you continue to support the tragic trends on social media because that’s all they are... a trend. We’ve attached a petition for Zimbabwe to this image in our bio. Please take a second of your time to sign it and another second to share 🙏🏻 Zimbabwe needs us. Much love, Floki x #zimbabweanlivesmatter Slide info via @theslacktivists 📷: @emmaobrienphoto

  • She believed she could but her dog was on her lap, so she didn’t 😅 Show of hands... who’s held in a wee till their eyeballs are floating so as not to disturb the dog 🙋🏻‍♀️😂 As you can see here, Rocket is more of a lapdog than Floki. He will insist on being on my lap no matter what. I recently had to balance my laptop, on my lapdog, in order to get some work done and he could care less! 🤪 Thank you @emmaobrienphoto for capturing my boys personalities so perfectly, even when they’re sleeping! 😍 Emma is offering a special “At Home” shoot package which includes a gorgeous magazine style album of your favourite images.

  • "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
