Tick, tick, tick…

March 1, 2014 By Sandy

Being March, we may all be thinking of longer days, getting out and about, and possibly enjoying country walks as spring is surely on its way.  By no means trying to put anyone off such honourable pursuits, I do, however, remember that towards the end of last year, a case was presented of a late … [Read more...] about Tick, tick, tick…

Puppies aren’t just for Christmas – they can be good for you!

December 1, 2013 By Sandy

We’ve acquired a puppy this year, which has been very exciting for us.  However, owning a pet is not a new thing to us.  We’ve had pets in our family even before we had children and we feel our children benefit from having animals around them in many ways.  Has anyone heard of the Hygiene … [Read more...] about Puppies aren’t just for Christmas – they can be good for you!
