| A family of five, Te Puke |
Te Puke beckoned with the promise of 5 dogs who live on a farm (as opposed to ‘farm dogs’!) who needed our company for a week in February/March 2020.

| Son and Mum ... Bailey & Vienna |
 |
| Mum and Son .... Max & Sian |
 |
| Jess, the pretend farm dog, who wandered in one day looking for a better place to call home |
The cats, Fluffy, Millie and Oscar were extremely self-suffient and only ventured in at night to sleep on the spare bed. They all appreciated a pat and a cuddle too.
We had a lovely time
making homemade lemonade from the lemon tree in the yard which was
full to overflowing with ripe lemons. We walked the dogs around the
farm. Sian was too old and immobile to come with us but Max, who is blind, managed
really well as long as one of us kept in contact with him the whole
way both by voice and touch.
Another reason we
were drawn to Te Puke was that we like to fish the Maketu cut. The
couple of times we ventured there we didn’t catch any fish, but
neither did any of the other fisherman. There has been a lot of
reclamation work done in the area since we were here last which is
awesome to see.
As usual, everyone ... humans and furries alike, all had a wonderful time enjoying lots of attention and cuddles.
