Retro Boys

A few weeks ago hubby and I visited a pet store to get some bits and pieces for the boys. Whilst there I noticed the small animal tanks, there were some winter whites tumbling over eachother, and a group of gerbils running around. As I got close to the gerbs, all but one ran away. [...]

Rupert arrived home with us just over two weeks ago. In case you were wondering; he’s a greyhound. Years ago hubby and I said that if we were to get a dog, a retired racing greyhound would be what we’d like. A few weeks ago we thought we’d have a look and see if there [...]
