Powered by tea, mud, and dogs

Just before writing this, I was probably standing somewhere slightly chaotic—mud on my boots, a dog making their own interpretation of “recall,” and me quietly accepting that dignity is optional. That about sums me up: animals first, everything else negotiable.

​

Dogs have been my greatest teachers. Clever, sensitive, chaotic, funny—always entirely themselves. And if you pay attention, they show you things about life you didn’t know you needed reminding of.

​

That’s what I do. I watch dogs. I notice the small things. And I turn what they teach us into stories. Not polished theories—just real moments that make you laugh, pause, and occasionally recognise yourself in a dog who has absolutely no interest in your emotional complexity.

​

The storytelling bit

I write Pawnderings—cheeky, heartfelt dog stories that are equal parts chaos and clarity. The kind that make you laugh, then think, then look at your own dog slightly differently.

​

The talks & workshops bit

I speak to teams and students about what dogs quietly teach us about showing up fully, belonging, and paying attention to what matters.

​

At the heart of it all

My work is simple: noticing what dogs already know, and helping the rest of us remember so that we can live a little more like they do.
