Well after photographing sunset at the Angel of the North last night, I was back there two hours later for the Aurora. I got there just in time before it faded and I’m so glad I did. It was a wonderful sight.

This is sweet little 'Jake', a memorial portrait from almost two years ago!

Jake's portrait was commissioned by my lovely customer as a gift to her adult daughter, who clearly adored him. 💕

So many of my soft pastel portraits make the journey from my home in Australia to various states of the USA as did this one. I never imagined my work would end up all over the world! What a privilege. ❤️🇦🇺🇺🇸

As handsome collies go we reckon Johno is high on the list. Sadly his owner passed away and Johno was found wandering around the local village before coming to us from another rescue.

Steptoe and Son Ride Again (1973)

"Steptoe and Son Ride Again" (1973) is a British comedy film directed by Peter Sykes, featuring the iconic father-and-son rag-and-bone men, Albert and Harold Steptoe, portrayed by Wilfrid Brambell and Harry H. Corbett. The film follows Harold's attempts to revive their failing business and his struggles with his scheming father.

An interesting fact about the film is that it included a stunt involving a horse falling into a basement, which sparked controversy and led to questions in Parliament about animal welfare, highlighting the growing concerns about animal rights in film production during the 1970s.

My Story

Pet and Livestock Services (PaLS) Specializing in House & Pet-Sitting (in Homes, Small-Holdings, Farms) to give owners a break - whether its a night, weekend or a full week away (or longer). I mainly do dog walking during the day, as well as fitting in pet visits - such as feeding cats or letting dogs out in the garden etc.. Other jobs required such as horse work or livestock work I can do early on a morning or /and early on an evening to fit around my regular dog walking jobs. I also do relief milking!

I am a mature (50 something) friendly, competent and reliable person, who has had years of experience working with various animals such as cats, dogs, alpacas, geese, horses, cows, sheep, pigs and chickens - being a farmer's daughter from near Barnard Castle. I worked for ‘Animate Animal Minding’ for two and a half years after I left Harper Adams University in 2012. I decided to set up my own business - ‘Susan E. Wilkinson - Pet and Livestock Services (PaLS)’ in November 2015.

In July 2019 we achieved a 4* Dog Boarding Licence with our ‘Brydale Lodge’ Luxury Dog Boarding Kennel - which can house up to two* dogs from the same family. (*we are hoping to be able to offer ‘Brydale’ for up to three dogs this year (2020) as we have added another ‘bedroom’ area since the Inspector came last time...hence we need to get him back again after the Covid restrictions are lifted.)

I've also worked with various injured wildlife such as hedgehogs, various types of birds inc. swans and birds of prey (whilst on my placement year at Harper Adams University) at RSPCA Stapeley Grange Wildlife Centre and Rehoming Cattery (near Nantwich) during 2009 - 2010.
