About Kaya and Luna

To be revised - Kaya is no longer with us.

Welcome to our photo blog! I'm Kaya, a two year old fawn Great Dane who lives in Australia. I have a sidekick (ok, sister) called Luna. Luna is a Great Dane too, coloured blue (the trendy name for grey) and one year old (nearly one and a half, she reminds me) and used to try and be a show dog. Now she does agility instead!

My special talent is modelling. I get lots of practice because our Mum is a dog photographer, so whenever she doesn't have other dogs to take photos of, she practices on us. I'm very talented at modelling and Luna is well, not quite so talented. She does try though.

We get to do lots of different things with our Mum and Dad - going to the beach is a definite favourite. We love sharing our many adventures with the world through our blog. Oh and we also love receiving comments - hope to hear from you soon!

Izzy and Me

Well, I’ve been heavily berating Mum for her lack of postings lately and I’m happy to say, it’s finally paid off! You’ve already met Izzy from the sneak peek post a while back… she’s very little… (well compared to me anyway)

2009-08-15-0504

Izzy came to visit me for a whole weekend! She’s a 9 week old Great Dane x Ridgeback x Mastiff (mostly Great Dane though) and her colour is called brindle, isn’t it pretty? Izzy likes to chew on sticks, I guess that’s the Great Dane in her coming out.

Unfortunately, she also likes chewing on me.

2009-08-15-0535

I put up with it, she’s just a little puppy…

2009-08-15-0538

She does have very sharp little teeth though!

2009-08-15-0541

I make sure I don’t bite her with my teeth, so I end up looking a bit gummy.

2009-08-15-0542

Izzy seemed to have a bit of a fascination with my belly. I think I might have reminded her of her mummy?

2009-08-15-0577 2009-08-15-0578

Mum thought Izzy was very pretty, and talked her into doing some modelling. She didn’t do a bad job, for a newbie!

Okay, so Izzy is just a little bit too cute and a little bit too good at the whole modelling thing. I had to think fast! I didn’t want her taking over my job, so I thought I better regain my superiority. What better way than proving my dominance with the stick! I lulled her into a false sense of security…

2009-08-15-0610 2009-08-15-0612

Drew her in, let her think she had a chance, then boom! I was off! No catching me!

2009-08-15-0615 2009-08-15-0616

It was kinda nice having Izzy to visit, someone to play with is always good! Maybe one day I will get another sister or maybe even a brother, but for now, it’s pretty cool being the centre of attention all the time!

Love and licks, Luna xo

Tribute to Kaya

Ana from Portugal is one of Kaya and Luna’s biggest fans. Today she sent me a link to a gorgeous tribute she made for Kaya from a selection of images I’ve taken of her. Set to some beautiful music, it really is a tear jerker, but I just love it. Thank you Ana.

Ana - I'm really happy , that you put my video in here. Thank you so much :) xoxo

Ahliah - sniff - beautiful! We miss ya Kaya...

Heather in Minnesota - That was lovely. It was good to see Kaya's face. I still can't believe she's gone, and I still feel your loss, Charlotte. Hugs to you and your guy and to Luna.

Mitch H - Great tribute to a good friend. I wished I had this for my dogs but they are always so easy to remember...:) I don't know you or Kaya but that still got me teary eyed.

Aleka in Vermont - Wow... What a wonderful tribute. It's amazing how many people around the world were touched by her. Luna, Kaya would be so proud of you!

Susan Bourne - What a lovely tribute to the beautiful Kaya! Tuk, Jack and I miss Kaya's lovely face and funny stories. Big love to sweet Luna. Susan in California.

Angela & Ben - That was an amazing tribute to wonderful Kaya!!! She touched so many people...We miss you Kaya xx

Michelle Hogg - what a beautiful tribute for a wonderful dog. memories are precious. kiss kiss kaya.

Boxen N Bella - What a beautiful video! We really miss seeing Kaya all the time and hope that she is happy playing at the beach over the bridge. Give your mom and dad a big lick from us Luna! Love Boxen, Bella, and Benjamin

Jackie - wow. That is a beautiful tribute to a beautiful Dane. Thanks for this. Thanks to Charlotte for sharing her girls with us.

Cindy - This is a Great tribute...Although I never met her, I feel I knew her through the wonderful photos you shared with everyone

acey porter - Thank you for allowing me to share Kaya's life. I so miss her. I hope Luna gets a new sister soon.

Courtney - That was such a wonderful tribute to a wonderful girl! It touched me and I am so truly sorry for your loss Charlotte. I am deeply saddened by the passing of Kaya.

Rosalynne - Great heavens, I lost it at the first frame, pull out a towel - I almost had the ugly cry going! How very sweet and moving, Ana, you did a wonderful job.(great music!) Charlotte, it must have been hard to see this, thank you for sharing it. Dogs give such unconditional love, not only have you captured it in frame, your girls have captured our hearts at my house! Much love - Rosalynne (and her pups)

Cheryl - Wow that was heart wrenching, but beautiful. I almost made it to the end without crying!

Pamela - Ana that was so beautiful. As Kaya's Grandma it is very special to me and the tears flowed yet again.

Jenny - Wow! That was just beautiful and yes heart wrenching. I think I cried before I hit play. Kaya is such a beautiful girl that was so loved by not only her Mom and Dad but also by us out here in computer land that you so lovingly shared her with. Ana, that was a beautiful tribute... Charlotte thank you again for sharing your family.

ChicagoBeth - This is crazy! I never properly even met Miss Kaya and her family...and here I sit, sobbing again! Ever since that "Puppy of the Day" photo, I was hooked! But Kaya did "choose love", every single day of her life! Looking deep into those amber eyes, I just know that she knew how much she was loved back by all who knew her. I will take the "paw it forward" advice...thanks, again, for sharing her with us, Charlotte (and deep gratitude to Ana, for this stirring, wrenching tribute)!

Caroline - Hi, this is the hills are alive from flickr...just want to say I was really moved by the video. What a fabulous presentation of your pix, and lovely, lovely dogs.

I’m still around!

I’ve been missing in action for a while so just thought I better get Mum to post something up quick to let you all know I’m still around and ok! Mum has been off playing in that very intruiging looking cold white stuff (I think it’s called snow?) for a while but now she’s back!

Here’s a sneak peak from a post coming soon…

2009-08-15-0610 2009-08-15-0589

Oh and before you all think otherwise, the pup is called Izzy – no unfortunately she’s not a new sister – but she did come to visit me for a whole weekend! Full post of our adventures coming soon!

Michelle - I have been missing reading about you Miss Luna. Good to hear we'll get more news soon. I did get excited and think Izzy might have been a new sister for you! Wonder if you'll be getting one anytime soon?

Roxanne - Luna I've missed you. :) I thought for a second Izzy was your new sister too, but she's a cutie any ways. And you are still beautiful. :)

Angela & Ben - Welcome back Luna.. we've missed you loads!! carn't wait to hear about your new friend!!!x

Rosalynne - What a cute pup to make friends with! I hope you and your mum and dad enjoyed the visit!

Claire - that puppy is too cute for words! and of course it's always good to see luna's lovely face :)

Nancy - What a beautiful tribute and two gorgeous danes they are. I am so sorry for your loss, just 3 short years with Kaya. Having been there several times, it is heartbreaking and you are truly lucky to have Ana as a good friend to put that tribute together for you, for us. How beautiful. Hugs to all of you as it has been such a short time since your loss and feelings are still raw, however, I do know those feelings. Thank you for sharing. Get Luna another sis/bro soon as she is in mourning also. Hugs from Ormond Beach, Florida
