Olive and Pearl are enthusiastic gardeners, always keen to help out wherever they can.
“They’re little lawnmowers,” Ms Webb said.
“They eat the roses and all the scraps.”

Along with their gardening skills, Olive and Pearl also love to show off their canine characteristics, eagerly seeking pats and attention, and getting the zoomies.
“They just think they’re dogs, they don’t know any different,” Ms Webb said.
“They’re so funny, they’ve got real little personalities.”

Ms Webb brought them home from a breeder in Katamatite about a month ago, and they’ve settled right in to her Tallygaroopna home already filled with dogs, cats and horses.
After receiving her cancer diagnosis, Ms Webb has welcomed the distraction and caretaking that comes with looking after six-month-old Pearl and four-month-old Olive, who still needs to be bottle-fed.
“I can’t work at the moment, which is driving me insane,” she said.
“I thought, ‘you know what? That’d be a nice distraction.’
“They keep me busy, I feel like I’m doing something useful.”
