Available now for purchase. Dougie is a border terrier cross. He is a very naughty dog although butter would not melt in his mouth in this painting. He loves to snuggle and is so good when he is asleep. On the other hand, when he is awake, he is the naughtiest pup I know and love. He is into everyth...

Available now for purchase. There is nothing more that a dog enjoys than a good walk, is the journey to the walk.

Luna is a big cat. Not fat. Just a big cat and anybody who knows cats and I mean really knows cats will know what I mean. Luna has those lazy green all knowing eyes that peruse and take in all that she sees. But, do not be fooled! I am her vet and I cannot, for the life of me cut her claws. - Emma's...

Available now for purchase. Mr Foxy Fox is wiley and cunning but most of all he is one of the most beautiful British urban mammals.
