Cyprus Pride House
Has anybody had any dealings with these people? What they do seems too good to be true - rescuing animals in Cyprus and re-homing them in the UK for just £100.

Is pet insurance worth it?
Hello I have a dog, min-pin, and it is my first puppy. I never had a dog as a child.

Gitdog’s Guide to (almost) being a Gold Good Citizen.
1. Road walk at different paces – prat around until mum sneaks a treat into her hand when the assessor isn’t looking. Perform the exercise impeccably.
