Meet my Inspiration

Tobi was the heart and inspiration behind my Black Dog. Colourful Life series, which started in 2023 and continues today with 'Tobi Tuesdays'. A 15-year-old Black Lab and a certified 12/10 handsome man, Tobi filled my days with love, laughter, and loyalty. He could always be found sunbaking in 34-degree weather, snoozing on the couch, or following me from room to room—my constant companion and studio sidekick.

In April 2025, Tobi passed away, leaving the biggest paw print on my heart. He will always be my rainbow boy—guiding me with the same warmth, joy, and gentle presence that shaped both my life and my art.

Pablo was our 12-year-old white Chihuahua, cheekily named after a notorious cartel leader but best known for his soft heart. He was a little whirlwind of love, always spinning in excitement and handing out endless kisses. Pablo loved adventuring in the garden with Tobi, his best mate, and could often be found tearing around the house in hot pursuit of a fly. In 2025, we said goodbye to Pablo, but his joyful, affectionate spirit will forever be part of our family.

Carlita Chiquita—better known as Chiqui (pronounced Chicky)—was possibly the littlest girl in the world. Her name means “little girl” in Spanish, and at just 1.5kg, she was a 14-year-old teacup Chihuahua with the biggest personality. Despite her tiny size, Chiqui was the true alpha of the trio, ruling the household with confidence and sass. She passed away in 2024, leaving behind a legacy of spunk, sweetness, and the reminder that the smallest among us can hold the most power.

PALOMA & PEPE

Paloma and Pepe are the newest members of our rainbow pack, bringing endless joy, mischief, and love into our home.

Paloma, nearly 2, is our chunky, cheeky little girl and a true mummy’s girl. She adores her food, has a sweet, affectionate nature, and isn’t shy about showing her personality. Her confidence and playful spirit make every day brighter.

Pepe, our baby boy wolf, is still learning the ropes of life from his older sister. Energetic, fun-loving, and full of curiosity, he’s always ready for an adventure or a cuddle. Together, Paloma and Pepe share a strong sibling bond, with the same dad, Count Chocula, passing down his playful charm and good looks.

Watching them grow and explore the world together is a constant reminder of joy, love, and the magic of our family—one paw at a time.
