May is here, bringing a little extra magic in our home… because it’s Gia’s birthday month, another year of memories, growth, and the little moments that mean everything! A reminder of how quickly time moves when you’re busy living it fully. I have Gia, Kiki and Zamba to thank for keeping me on my toes and our house filled with chaos and love.
We might be a few days late (because of Easter) but, today we celebrate our handsome boy, Zamba… three years of love, loyalty, and a bond that words could never fully capture.
From the moment Zamba came into our lives, everything changed. There’s just something about him, the way he carries himself with quiet confidence, the way his eyes soften when he looks at Gia, the way he protects, loves, and feels so deeply.
Rottweilers are often misunderstood. He is gentle, patient, and deeply connected to us in a way that still amazes me every day. Especially with Gia… their bond is something truly special. It’s built on trust, loyalty, and a kind of love that is pure.
Zamba’s Birthday Feast: Raw Mince Meatballs
This year, we’re celebrating Zamba in a way that suits him perfectly… simple, natural, and full of goodness.
No fancy cake needed, just something he truly loves: raw mince meatballs.
Ingredients:
Fresh raw mince (beef or chicken)
Optional: finely grated carrots or zucchini for added nutrients
Optional: a raw egg for binding and extra protein
Directions:
Combine all ingredients in a bowl.
Roll into medium-sized meatballs.
Serve fresh (or slightly chilled) as a special birthday treat.
Happy 3rd birthday, our beautiful boy. You’re everything we could have ever hoped for in a dog… and more.
April is here, bringing soft sunshine, fresh starts as we head into autumn over here in the Southern Hemisphere.
This month feels extra magical as we celebrate Easter and our big boy Zamba who turns 3! We’ll be celebrating him in the best way we know how, with treats, cuddles, and all his favourite things so stay tuned.
I thought I was doing everything right for Kiki and Zamba… until I realised there are things you can’t always see when it comes to their health. That’s what led me to trying the Pets Are Kids Multivitamin Chews.
What I liked about these multivitamin chews straight away is that they’re not just a basic multivitamin.
They’re designed to support:
immune health (which matters more than we think)
allergy support (especially as seasons change)
gut health (which affects everything)
and overall daily wellness
It’s that all-in-one support that made it make sense for me. It’s easy to buy something once… but the real question is, will you actually keep using it?
For me, that’s a very easy YES! It’s one chew a day for Kiki and a few for Zamba, they taste like treats so they both really enjoy their multivitamin and it fits into our daily routine without me even thinking about it.
What I’ve noticed in the few months Kiki and Zamba have been taking them is nothing overhyped or unrealistic. Just that they are happy, extremely active, their gut health is in tip top condition and so is their skin and fur!
You don’t need to overhaul everything you’re doing, you don’t need to do anything drastic. But adding something like the Pets Are Kids Multivitamin is such an easy step that actually supports your pups a lot more than you realise.
Honestly, this is one of those products that just makes sense. We absolutely love the Pets Are Kids Multivitamin and they will remain part of our daily routine for a very long time!

Today is a very special day in our household… it’s Kiki’s third birthday! It feels like just yesterday that this tiny Boston Terrier stole our hearts with her big eyes, tiny wiggly tail, and that unmistakable sassy attitude that has kept us on our toes ever since.
Kiki isn’t just a dog, she’s a whole vibe. She struts around like she owns the place, demands snuggles only when it suits her, and has perfected the art of giving the side-eye when she doesn’t get her way. And honestly… we wouldn’t have it any other way. She’s our little bundle of joy, mischief, and unconditional love.
