For us, every day is Animal Day!

My regular readers will know that I am a bit bonkers about animals. I was the one at school called to rescue a bat swimming in the toilet. I still carry the scar on my arm from when, as a child, I came across a horse in a field tangled in barbed wire. I successfully […]

Caring for your dogs this Easter, and caring for bunnies in the past

The Easter bunny will be visiting many homes in Mid Sussex this weekend, I imagine, bringing along many a chocolatey treat that can sadly be harmful to our canine pets.
