I dedicate this blog to anyone who has lost a much loved pet; where the bond between animal and owner have developed a greater depth and meaning than many would think possible.

Susie

I acquired Susie and her sister Sasha as tiny kittens twenty years ago. Sadly, the slightly older Susie, died on Monday. I’t a joy looking back at some of the many photos I’ve taken over the years, capturing Susie in different poses and actions. If  you’ve got a pet, get snapping. You’ll be glad you did!…

Deceivingly ‘kittenlike’, Susie gets the studio treatment aged 19!
