A morning with the Townshend bunch

Last Sunday morning, I had the privilege of photographing 5 dogs and 7 cats at the Townshend's. That was only two-thirds of the feline population that live at the Townshend residents. The pets clearly outnumbered the humans. We went around the neighbourhood with the dogs and met the cats on the patio. I had so much fun interacting and photographing that bunch — who are very well looked after, and well behaved. I just love seeing cats and dogs being themselves and the Townshend bunch is just that. Thank you all for a wonderful time!

ps: I've put together this blog post with the help of Oliver, 'dad' of the bunch.

Dogs:
Me Too (aka MeMe, the one-eyed Pekinese who sleeps with the other eye opened and can hold two balls in her mouth at once); Hairy (a stray dog rescued by the Townshend from the pound a week after he followed Blossom and Womble on a walk); Pebbles (a former Australian champion Frawai Rebel); Womble (or Valentine, was rescued off the streets on V-day 2000 by the Townshend); Bossom (or 櫻 originally - yes the dog's name is in Chinese, was purchased from a gardening shop in mid-1999).

Cats:
Steed; Arwyn; Eowyn (Mother of Faramir, Galadriel and Arwyn); Galadriel (the bossy one); Faramir; Simon Templer aka The Saint; Bondy (aka James Bond but not quite a James Bond).
