This too shall pass... this is something I always remember to tell myself during tough times. An unfortunate situation happened last week when my dog Millie was playing in the garden with my other dog Stanley. She was running and injured her leg. I brought her to the vet and an X Ray revealed she had broken her hind leg. It's been bandaged up and a splint applied. We will be assessing it on a day by day basis as the vet is uncertain if the splint will work as the break is quite compressed. If this is the case...

Thank you to everyone that has commissioned custom pieces with me. I'm putting commissioned work on hold for the meantime. However if you are interested in being put on a waiting list for when I start working on custom pieces again, please get in touch. At this point, I dont know when that will be but if you wish to express interest, please email me at sarahhartist@gmail.com and I will keep your details on file and contact you by email when my books reopen.  Thank you ❤️

Meet Stanley! Well, what can I say about my man, Stan. He's a brindle whippet lurcher and arrived here as a foster from the pound in carlow.

I also soon discovered his reactivity on a lead. So, I had...

Meet family member number 2. Sally, a beautiful tiny blue whippet. Sally came to live with me on new years eve just before Covid hit.

Unlike any of the dogs I'd fostered or adopted in the past, Sally wasn't a stray, she had come from a home situation. Unfortunately she needed to be rehomed due to a marriage breakdown. From that night on, she just fitted in seamlessly. It was like she'd always...

Time to introduce the rest of my family, I'm talking about my 3 dogs of course! I love them to bits and they all have their own funny individual quirks. First up is little Millie, I've had her the longest. I estimate she was about 2 when I adopted her so she's possibly 10 or 12 yrs old now. She was a rescue from Cork Dog Action Welfare. I dont know much of her history apart from that she was picked up as a stray and found herself in the pound. She was beyond terrified when I first brought her...
