EASTER HAZARDS – NEVER WAIT, GET TO THE VET!
Easter time, the daffodils are shining bright yellow, the lambs are frolicking in the fields, the weather is British and there are copious amounts of chocolate about. We all know chocolate is bad for our furry friends. The rule of thumb is the darker it gets the more dangerous it is and white chocolate has…

Would you believe it? 1,000 TONNES of dog poop is produced every year – as estimated by the Keep Britain Tidy campaign!!!! That’s a lot of poop, isn’t it!!! We all know it’s the law to pick up your dog poop. You can be fined up to £80 or even up to £1000 if taken…

36 DAYS TO GO! Sometimes it’s best to stick with what you know, the grass isn’t always greener on the other side. Last week I purchased some new Salomon Trail Runners (Pulsar Pro). The reviews were excellent and I liked the anti-debris collar (so that I could save a few grams and not bring sock…
