If you follow us on social media you may have already seen this exciting news. But we have a new member of the family joining us very soon! After losing Tally after almost 15 years, our house has felt very empty. I has been the first time in about 17…
Earlier this week I lost my Border Collie Tally. She had been a member of our family for nearly 15 years and I am sure that my younger brother and sister will struggle to remember a time when she wasn’t in our lives. I would have only been 10 when…

On Saturday Scottie will be moving to his 4th yard since I have had him. (But I haven’t told him yet so shhh!) The yard we are moving to is only a 5 min walk from my front door and I have been hoping for a space to pop up…
