I found a £50 discount […]

I should preface this by saying that I have never actually lost Izzy. I feel like that’s important context. But have I stood in the woods behind the village shouting her name in an increasingly unhinged voice while she cheerfully ignored me from a bush approximately six feet away? Yes. Multiple times. Have I had the cold-sweat moment where she

Contains affilaite links Once upon a time, and long after my brief goth years were over, black was a wardrobe staple. Elegant, slimming, practical; black is a classic choice for the tired mum with no energy for fashion but a deep desire to hide the wobbly bits and bolognese stains…. And then I got a yellow Labrador. Now, I own

There are two things that my dog Izzy loves more than anything; food, and other dogs. Me – the person who walks her for hours a day, feeds her and gives her a home? I’m way down the pecking order somewhere below squirrels, eating mud and (probably) burglars. On Saturday, we went for a walk around the park. She scampered

Ever since we moved to our new house, the kids had been going on and on about getting a pet. It’s entirely my fault; I promised them at some point in the distant past – quite possibly after a trip to the pub – that when we owned a house again I’d get them some guinea pigs, and they didn’t

This is a collaborative post: Having tarantulas as pets is amazing. If you’re not terrified of spiders, tarantulas can be remarkably decent pets. They’re fun to watch, uses less space, and are reasonably simple to maintain. And many of the most common species are easy to care for, docile enough to manage, and also some varieties can survive for more
