Buying a puppy from a breeder is already a shady endeavour. There are a lot of breeders out there peddling purebred chihuahuas which turn into golden labs over time, aren’t purebred or are ill. If you have a breeder you trust, you still will have a lot of questions to ask them. The breeder will…
It has taken me over a week to write this post. Mainly because every time I did, I cried. I don’t think any words will be sufficient to describe our dear dog Rosie who died last week. I began writing about her death and how I found her in the morning but I don’t think…
We have almost had Baby Bell for six months now. From the teenie tiny guinea pig sized puppy, she has grown quite considerably but she is still small. We have a baby gate on the kitchen door and she still manages to squeeze through that, although her tummy does sometimes get stuck so she has…
If you have ever owned a dog, I do not need to explain to you about that unwavering, unbreakable bond that is shared between canine and human. They don’t refer to them as man’s (or woman’s) best friend for nothing. I am sure you are aware of my deep, love for my furry friend, Rosie…

So last night, a new programme was aired on BBC One called Nigel and Adam’s Farm Kitchen. I am married to a farmer and we live on a farm so I watched it with interest. At one point in the first episode, there was a statistic that many people don’t bother cooking a Sunday dinner….
I am uneasy with Halloween. I don’t mind the dressing up per-say but it’s the trick or treating which I am the most uneasy with. You see, when I was growing up, my parents would never let me go trick or treating and, at the time, I was gutted. Why couldn’t I go and get…
