💔 Tonight, at 8:32 PM, marks ten years since my beautiful, very special boy Chase was taken from me far too soon. It’s still so vivid, that moment when my entire world was shattered. Chase wasn’t just a dog—he was my world, my confidant, my cheeky little sidekick. Losing him felt like losing a piece of my soul.
For weeks, I was lost in a fog of grief, struggling to eat, sleep, or even get out of bed. Chase was more than just a pet; he was my family. People often say losing a pet is a lot harder than losing a human family member because our pets are the family we choose. They are our companions in the truest sense, and their absence leaves a void that’s deeply felt.
The pain of losing Chase has never faded; it has just become a part of me. I carry his memory with me every day, finding comfort in the most joyful, fun filled moments we shared. His spirit lives on through Chasing Perfection Dog Training. To anyone who’s experienced the loss of a beloved pet, know that your feelings are valid and your grief is shared by many. It’s been a real tough day for me today, but I’m so lucky to have my 3 beautiful babies comforting me. Hug your fur babies extra tight tonight. My beautiful Cheeky Chase Kepano Hannelly 14/4/11-2/8/14 forever loved and missed 🌈🐾

🌟🐾 Meet Shadow: Our Olympic Star at Carramar! 🇦🇺🏅
Today, our favorite therapy dog, Shadow the Border Collie, brought a touch of Olympic spirit to Carramar! Decked out in her Aussie gear, Shadow dazzled everyone with her cheeky charm, parading through our dementia unit and lighting up the room with her playful antics. 🎉🐶
The atmosphere was electric as Shadow’s performance sparked a wave of nostalgia and stories. Residents and staff shared memories of beloved pets, old farm tales, and even a heartwarming story from one resident about growing up in Paris. Her excitement about the upcoming Paris Olympics made the day even more special! 🌍✨
Therapy dogs like Shadow offer incredible benefits to dementia units, bringing joy, comfort, and a sense of connection to both residents and staff. Their presence fosters positive interactions, stimulates meaningful conversations, and creates lasting memories. 💖🐕

I am so very proud of these two. Ollie used to pull Kenzie down the driveway, and not listen to her. Now look at this power team go. Today I got Kenzie to teach him some new tricks, spin left and spin right, and go through. To watch these two encourage and grow together is just beautiful. Their bond is really forming. #positivereinforcementtraining #positivereinforcement #sciencebased #buildingtrustnotfear #dogsofsunshinecoast #sunshinecoastdogs #teachingkidspositivereinforcement #kidstrainingdogs #ndisprovider #ndisregisteredprovider
Little session with these guys!
An afternoon on the river with people and dogs walking by and 3 very calm border collies. I can tell you it doesn’t just happen… especially with working dogs. You need to teach them to relax and how to be calm. These guys have nailed it.
And we made it in again!
So this happened 😍 we got published again!!! @apdt
And I wonder why Shadow doesn’t want to go in the ocean…. She’s hooked with me watching when sharks attack!
Where’s Zoe? These guys just search out objects to pose on 🤣.
I got Zoe this special doggy pram for when we go on extra long walks, runs, or lots of hills. Trouble is Phoenix loves it more than zoe. I can’t wait to attach it to the bike and take them riding.
Shadow had a real spring in her step today as Hammond cares own therapy dog. She did such fantastic work today with the residents and staff putting on a show for everyone!
Paws up with Bruno and Fred!

Teaching door manners, working on impulse control and working on those boundaries. Such a vital thing to teach your dog!

Animal assisted therapy
So very proud of Ashton today. Gaining more confidence, direction and self esteem.
After this video, Ashton then showed his neighbors just how well his dog training is going.
Animal assisted therapy (AAT), provides multiple benefits for both children and adults. My girl @shadow is helping Ashton and Jai break down barriers, learn and further develop their skills.
It gives them a feeling of confidence and helps boost their reading ability

This Cake is a huge thing for me. My first dog Chase had to put up with what I thought was good cooking (raw pasta, thinking it was cooked was just one thing to be mention, and not the worst. I lost my heart and soul, Chase, suddenly at 3, Zoe’s love of her life. ) My family dog Kelly made it to 15.5 but ever since Chase, every birthday is a blessing and one to be celebrated. Especially Zoe turning it 10. It was 9 years ago today Chase and I went to Sydney and it was instant love. She came home with us on her first birthday and we have never looked back. Zoe is my special girl, unique and misunderstood. Once she knows and trusts you, she will love you forever. I’m just so happy and thrilled Gayle form Underwater Dogs Haircare saw this.
Yes she has celebrated in true celebrity style. Chicken for breakfast, treats and walks throughout the day, fresh salmon for dinner and then my
Masterpiece of a cake for dessert. Every dog should be spoilt and celebrated
What an @uwdogs pamper day looks like with @shadow_a.k.a_brutus @phoenix_the_big_boy @zoe_the_stunner with special thanks to @blackdogpetfoods for the very yummy treats.
