24.01.2022 Just before I left Perth, Cindy contacted me asking if I could squeeze in a photo shoot for the adorable Revs, Baci and Capri. Two cavaliers and a shepherd? How could I refuse? The shoot was so much fun and the dogs were just amazing. Baci (the blenheim cavalier) was always looking to her mum to make sure things were ok, (their bond was obvious right from the start of the shoot), Capri was more than enthusiastic about the treats and ready to do anything for food, (maybe even ...get it out of the treat bag herself if I took too long) and Revs, the German shepherd, who posed so well it looked like he’d done this whole "photo shoot thing" a thousand times before. These three made up a very cute and loving fur-family and I hope that comes through in the images. Heartbreakingly, about a week or so after the shoot, Cindy and her family lost Baci to her heart condition. It was a terrible loss and I know Cindy misses her every day. I feel truly lucky to have been chosen to photograph Cindy’s furkids and will treasure the time I had with them all. <3

24.01.2022 So I have a thing for Cavaliers... and it's hard not to really, when they are as cute and kissable as these two! Holly and Keiko are special to me (and to Charlie Noodle) as they are the furkids of our good friend Fliss, who we met around four years ago at the Cavalier Play Day in Perth. Fliss is a very special chick and I am incredibly lucky to have her as a friend. I think I'm even more lucky that she wanted me to take photos of these two spunk rats!! I hope their happy faces brighten your day as they have mine! :-D

24.01.2022 Earlier this year I had the pleasure of photographing Harley the rabbit, although I'm still not sure Harley was all rabbit... he was part human I'm sure! This little bun really knew how to own the spotlight. So expressive, full of personality and character, it was incredibly sad when I heard Harley had passed away. Thank you Emma for bringing him in for photos, it was wonderful to meet him and have shared this time with you both. <3

23.01.2022 Perfect model one minute, absolute derp the next! Kyah kept us laughing the whole time. Both gorgeous and a total sweetheart, her mum loves her to bits, and I completely see why. Also how do you resist a head tilt like that? Argh SO CUTE! Thank you Erin for bringing Kyah in for a shoot, she was a delight! :-D

23.01.2022 I’ve been trying to think of a way to write a post that sums up our lives with Noodle, all that he gave to us and how he filled our lives with more love and fun... and happiness than we ever could have imagined, but how do I do that? I couldn’t do that in his lifetime and I’m not sure I can even do it in mine. I think when I look back though the thousands of photos and videos of him and I read all the comments from his social media friends, I can rest assured that you all know my Noodle. He was utterly irreplaceable, so full of humour, charm, patience, persistence, life and love. His facial expressions always said so much and he could charm the sandwich right out of your hand. He was gentle with kids, loved everyone he met and was the best snuggler anyone could ever hope for. Every morning I’d wake up with him in The Nook; the space between my husband’s and my pillow which he slept in every single night. His head shared my pillow, resting beside mine and snoring loudly in my ear. His furry paws often kicked me in the head; I think he was just making sure I always knew he was there. In the last few months I had started working part-time in the morning away from the house, and Noodle did not approve. He would get up with me at 6am (a very distasteful hour for a Noodle) and follow me around the house, even braving to enter the bathroom (dreaded room of the bath for a Noodle) while I did my hair and makeup. I’d put my dressing gown on the floor for him to lie on or go and get his bed, and he’d fall partially asleep, always listening in case I left the room and needed to be followed. He really was the heartbeat at my feet as they say. When I had to say goodbye, he would look at me with his big brown eyes and his head cocked slightly to the side as if to ask me why on earth I would leave. We could be in bed right now Mum. Pained, I would kiss him goodbye on his perfect little head and say I’ll be back soon Noodie and go. He would trot back to bed and sleep happily until I returned. I know this for certain because his hearing was terrible, and when I’d come home he would be completely asleep, in his bed (or on our bed) snoring away. I would walk right up to him and wait for him to realise I was there, and his happy little body, squished little face (his mouth would often end up a bit squished on one side when he slept in one position for a long time) and wagging tail would happily greet me as if I’d been away for days. Heaven. We would often jump straight in bed for a cuddle, because how could I not? He loved this and would lie on his side and wait for me to rub his chest and kiss his furry little face. Oh God how I miss those special times with him. I have always worried about losing him to his heart condition and it was something Rob and I were always checking on. I can’t talk much about our last few days and what happened because I think I might die of sadness. It truly was the worst time of my life. I had always thought about his heart and how loud it would beat. It used to really scare me because sometimes I could hear it beating from the other side of the room. On the day before we lost him the emergency vet showed me how weak his heart was. It was so quiet I almost couldn’t hear it. I have never been so scared. My beautiful baby looked up at me with his big brown eyes and just wanted to feel safe. He wanted me near him in this strange place, with his sick little body giving up on him. We were there for him until the end and I am so grateful to my husband and the staff at the emergency center who were there for us so graciously at such a devastating time. The vet who was with us was the kindest, most gentle woman I’ve ever met. It was like she was sent by Angels, or maybe an Angel herself. I will never forget her and her kindness. I can’t say any more about that day. I just can’t. I had always thought that if we found out Noodle didn’t have long we would do a bucket list for him, no matter how sad and distraught we were. But it all happened so quickly we didn’t even get to think about that . After he passed away I told Rob while hysterical and in painful, heartbroken floods of tears that I had wanted to give him the most amazing bucket list he could ever have hoped for, but that I didn’t get the chance. He said something that has stuck with me and really helped me in the weeks since Noodle’s passing. He said Noodle didn’t need a bucket list, that he had a bucket LIFE. He ate amazing food, he went on wonderful adventures with his favourite people, he travelled the world, he had friends worldwide, he was loved every single second of his life from the day he was taken in to rescue with Paw Prints Private Rescue and Rehoming, while in foster care, from the first second we first saw him online and we will never, ever stop loving him. To honour Noodle, we have created a private fund called the Charlie Noodle Fund to which we have added the money we had planned to use for his heart surgery. This money is going to help other rescue dogs and cats so that they might get the chance to experience the love and full life that Charlie did, because we know that’s what he would have wanted. Well, that, and all the treats he could fit in his mouth. This dog, this larger than life character that lived with us and made our hearts full, has shown us how to love unconditionally. Now we are going to take the love we have for Noodle and give it all to all the rescue dogs and cats we can possibly find. The rescue group who saved Noodle has since changed its name but it’s still the same amazing woman running the rescue, and her name is Casey. She does wonderful work to help homeless cats and dogs and we will be forever grateful to her for entrusting Charlie to us. Here is her website and Facebook page: http://squishiesrescue.org.au/ And https://www.facebook.com/SquishiesRescue/ If you loved Noodle and you want to help us honour him please consider donating to a rescue group or shelter like the one above. These people are literally saving lives just like Noodle’s and need your support to keep going. I could write about Noodle forever but I will stop now and say something very important to me. It’s thank you. Thank you to you all. Thank you for your likes, your comments, your photos, your love and kindness. You all have loved Noodle and supported his adventures for many years and I don’t think I could have gotten through this heartbreaking time without your support. There is a famous quote that I know is true: Everyone thinks they have the best dog and none of them are wrong. Thank you for seeing what I saw in Noodle and sharing that love and light and happiness that he brought to the world. All my love, Kate Miller Charlie Noodle’s Mum

23.01.2022 Recently, while still in Perth, I had the absolute pleasure of photographing two of the most lovely dogs, Julie and Boof. These two are very special to their family and it always make my heart swell to see people who love their dogs as much as Bud and Jess do. It was both an honour and a pleasure to photograph them and I will never forget their gorgeous faces and loving and sweet personalities. <3

21.01.2022 Please help if you can, I’ve seen their work first hand and they are absolutely amazing.

19.01.2022 Janice and her cavaliers, Lola and Hope are the cutest little threesome in Perth. Every time I see them together I think how lucky they are to have found each other. There is just so much love between them. We had such a wonderful time in the studio together (I think Lola and Hope enjoyed it the most), SO MANY TREATS. There is no hungrier dog than a cavalier, trust me, I have one! It was wonderful to have had this time with Janice and her girls and Charlie Noodle and I miss them over here in the Netherlands. Thank you, Janice, for choosing me to photograph Lola and Hope, it’s so lovely to have spent this time with you all. <3

19.01.2022 Are you in The Netherlands and looking for love...? In particular, KITTEN shaped love? <3 These gorgeous rescue kittens are looking for homes so if you have room in your heart and home please contact Elisabeta Pacuraru for more information!

19.01.2022 Check out these gorgeous faces! This past week we (Robert Miller and I) spent our days photographing rescue dogs at an amazing shelter O Cantinho da Milú in #Setubal just outside of #Lisbon in #Portugal. These dogs are so utterly lovely and adoptable it was hard not to take them all home with us. If you’re looking to add a very special furry family member to your family and live in Europe please contact them. In honour of Charlie Noodle.
