You may have a perfect present in mind for a few lucky individuals, but what do you give someone who absolutely dotes on his or her dog?

This one was exceedingly small, had the most beautiful eyes that you could just about drown in, and is already developing a wardrobe to rival mine. Say hello to Holly. Holly is a Bichon Frise, the most adorable ball of white fluff with the sweetest nature. She doesn’t actually belong to me, she was a gift to my mom and dad from my brother, but…

    Reviewed – Bud and Roo’s Spectacular Adventures

    I have had a lifelong love of books and reading, and am now trying to pass this on to my little boy Joe, who has recently celebrated his fourth birthday. So when I was asked if Joe would be interested in reviewing a children’s book introducing the very lovable pair of dogs, Bud and Roo, I was delighted to oblige. Bud and Roo are a pair of gorgeously illustrated dogs, a Border Collie and a beagle.  They have been immortalised in a wonderful children’s story by Jessica Valentine, with illustrations by Suzy Jones Biggar. The story is a simple one, perfect for first readers, all about what happens when the…
