Descrição
Hello, I am Smokey.....a dashing, intelligent, sensitive, kind, caring,compassionate and handsome German Shepard. My humans are Smyth and David and we live outside of Blenheim .
Smyth is a stay at home mum( she is wonderful, funny and kind) and David is a farmer( he seems a bit gruff but is the kindest of the bunch).
They have four children ages 21-11. They NORMALLY like to take day trips, but in August 2024, Harry(13) contracted a virus and has never recovered. He has been diagnosed with MECFS and POTS.
Before getting sick, Harry enjoyed surfing, swimming, motorbike riding, bouncing on the trampoline and traveling. Harry has spent much of the time in bed over the ladt 2 years, but since August has been steadily improving. He enjoys 3d printing(a hobby he picked up whilst sick but is now back outside on his boat and kayak where he is happiest. He is severely dyslexic, so we appreciate sensitivity in regards to this. He enjoys movies, crafts, cards, magic and good conversation. He is a kind young man with a brilliant sense of humor.
His little brother Louie (11) enjoys Minecraft, tabletop games and Anime
All of the kids are/were unschooled.
We live on a 5 acre lifestyle block in the top of the South Island where we share our home with 7 other dogs,5 cats , 2 cows and loads of pet sheep.We are a 10 minute bike ride into town and a two minute walk to the Wairau river.
They lease three farms where they farm sheep, cows and crops. One of their farms is near Nelson and is on the coast. They have kayaks and a private beach.There is a house and a self contained cottage that they use for our guests. It is their idea of paradise. -

Esther was an absolute dream to have around our family! We are a very wild and crazy family of six and patience and a sense of humour is a must!!! Esther has both of these qualities as well as a quiet, easy going manner. The children love her as do we and we will miss her terribly. She … read more
The kids are indeed a handful, but they're all very nice people that will slowly let you enter into their life, which is really rewarding !
