Here we go with my first ever Blog post, I hope you like it.

Every pet is a personality and provides a story — a wet nose, a flicking tail, a bundle of fur (or scales, or feathers) that becomes part of the family. If you’re here, chances are you already know that life is simply richer with animals in it. I am currently living with two crazy Cocker Spaniels and a Tortoise who I adore. This space is for everyone who shares their home — and heart — with pets. From seasoned pet parents to those just beginning their journey, welcome.

The focus will mostly be on dogs and cats: our loyal companions, mischievous housemates, and four-legged friends who somehow manage to steal both the sofa and our hearts. But make no mistake — this blog doesn’t stop there. Don’t be surprised if a tortoise ambles in, a donkey brays for attention, or a chinchilla makes an appearance. All creatures, great and small, deserve a place in the conversation.

What can you expect from this blog? A mix of practical tips and advice, honest lifetime experiences and a touch of old-fashioned wisdom. Pet care isn’t just about knowing what’s written in a textbook — it’s about the daily realities of living alongside animals. From muddy paws at the back door and traipsed through the newly mopped or vacuumed house to late-night vet trips you didn’t see coming, the journey of pet ownership is joyful, messy, challenging, loving and so rewarding. Here, we’ll cover it all:

• Pet Health and Nutrition — from decoding pet food labels to spotting early signs of illness.

• Dog & Cat Training and Behaviour needs — because understanding your pet’s needs makes for a happier home.

• Pet Grooming and Enrichment — keeping your pet clean, comfortable, and mentally stimulated.

• Tools and Products for your pets — honest reviews of what actually works in real life.

• The Big Picture — from choosing the right pet to end-of-life care, and everything in between.

But this blog isn’t just about checklists and how-tos. It’s also about stories — the kind you can only tell after years of sharing life with animals. Stories of the dog who refused to walk unless he carried his favourite toy, the cat who claimed the sunniest spot in the house, or the rescued rabbit who taught patience better than any book ever could. Because at the end of the day, pet care is about love, resilience, and the small, everyday moments that add up to a lifetime of companionship.

Above all, this space is a celebration of the centuries old human-animal bond — one built on respect, understanding, and unconditional love. Whether you’re raising a rambunctious kitten, caring for a sick or a loyal old friend, or even wondering if a goat would get along with your Labrador (spoiler: it depends), you’ll find both support and community here.

So, let’s explore, learn, and grow together, because let's face it no one knows it all when it comes to caring for our 'chosen' non human family members. Pet care doesn’t have to be complicated — it just needs to come from the heart and be rooted in common sense. Because when those two things meet, both people and pets thrive.

Here’s to slobbery kisses, warm furry cuddles, wagging tails and the joy of living alongside animals — for the love of All Creatures Great & Small.
