Obviously a sucker for a sob story.
So my eldest wanted a new hutch for Lola, her bunny. Yesterday she got paid and told me she had seen quite a big one at pets at home and pleaded with me to run her up in the car. I did. While we were there I noticed a section called 'adopt me'. I saw some really cute guinea pigs that the previous owner had become allergic…

Pet lifetime cover == lifetime higher insurance premiums?
I'm looking into purchasing insurance for our new 10 week old border terrier pup. All the options are 'on the table', including self-insurance. At the moment, for long term peace of mind, I like the idea of lifetime cover. My understanding of lifetime cover is that it's not transferable. You cannot transfer the lifetime…

New puppy...
Well took the plunge & brought home my new puppie. Pretty much as soon as we arrived home, I let her out to do her "business". Once she had been, I brought her back into the house & guided her into her doggie den. It's been about 4 hours since she went to the toilet & she has been really sleepy. I did coax her into having…

I know that tea tree oil…
