Leave their face alone!

Onyx and Argos are my entire world and all I have.
Some people have expressed disappointment at me taking a break. Some to the point I told them they were selfish. Some have outright joked that I won’t cut it or survive. Those who know me know better. I only know too well that their time with me is limited. 3 more dogs I trained and knew passed this week. A piece of me always goes with them, it is an industry that can take a heavy emotional toll. I have felt guilty for some time that I couldn’t give Onyx the life I wanted. (Yes I know it’s more than a lot get) At 10 years time is running out. This is my chance to give her all I can and make sure Argos gets the same. This is my chance after the worst 6months of my life to rebuild me. You see when I first got Onyx she was supposed to be the centre. But life got in the effing way. Years have past, my world got bigger, hers smaller - she only ever wanted her dad to be with her.
Waiting for the chance that was promised long ago.
We get so busy we forget, yet they only have one yearning
- us.
They remember even if we don’t.
For all of you It’s not too late to make them your centre again.
So please - respect my choice - I am making this out of love for my dogs. Extreme or not I don’t care. In 12months the continuing evolution of the business will happen out there. In the meantime I continue to fight to achieve it with daily curveballs coming at me. There will still be content and adventures for all to see, tips and advice - and as always the blunt uncurated truth whether you like it or not. But please whilst few get a chance like this even a small change is huge in your dogs world 🐾🐕❤️

When you clean the rug and you turn around and the dog says not on my watch bitch 🐾

The importance of training. Some might say it’s just a group of dogs chilling, but - the tiny one is 16yo, the all black 10yo (used to be highly reactive after being attacked), other black one 3yo, little brown 1.5yo, Ridgy 6months and baby boy 13weeks. 1 male puppy the other 5 female. All different breeds and personalities. What links them all like this? Learning to be calm and respectful. We just effectively removed half the stereo type rubbish you see around. 🐾😍

So it was family vax session. As we prepare to move bush we wanted to make sure the kids were protected against Leptospirosis. Onyx is again comfortable after what happened and Argos continues to grow toward the size of his dad at 70+kg. Seiko and Shadow rounded it out with Dr Candice - 0450 084 347

Must you! Can’t I just chill? (When you realise the seats go all the way back for your dog)😍🐾 - don’t tell Onyx she pi**ed enuff she has to share the limelight.

If you have a neural diverse child you can understand the challenge it can be, even as an adult - just ask me. So if your in the area pop in to them - or help - or volunteer. As a small business owner I know how hard it can be - I also know how important community can be in this community. If you can help let them know. Even if it’s simple sharing to help awareness. The number of families who struggle and not know there is help is astounding 🐾

Just over a year ago, I reopened Little Village and started again from scratch.

After everything life threw at us — housing instability, rebuilding after domestic violence, raising neurodiverse children largely on my own, and trying to hold everything together emotionally - I still believed this little community space was worth fighting for.

And slowly… it started working.

Little Village has grown into a genuine community space:
🌈 neurodiverse-friendly groups
☕ parents finding connection
🎲 social groups and workshops
🏡 a safe place where people can simply exist without pressure

For the first time in a long time, I’ve actually gotten to the point where the business is mostly covering rent and day-to-day expenses.

But large unexpected costs — especially insurance and outgoings — have hit hard, and I now urgently need to raise $5,000 before the 20th to keep things moving forward.

People often tell me I need to ask for help more, but honestly, that’s something I really struggle with because of CPTSD. Writing this post is actually a pretty big thing for me.

I know times are tough for everyone, so there is absolutely no pressure. But if Little Village has ever helped your family, made you feel welcome, or simply feels like something worth keeping in the community, I’d be incredibly grateful for support or even just a share.

I am also still accepting applications from secret millionaire benefactors with excellent taste in community spaces ❤️ so if you know any- please share this to them 🤣
