A tube of Primula Original Cheese to be precise. Zeke loves all living things. All the work I’ve put into making sure he’s ready for the big wide world, getting used to the sights and sounds of life has paid dividends. He loves people and dogs and cats and squirrels
As I’ve mentioned a few times already… I’m currently studying animal behaviour. In support of this, I’ve become a behaviour volunteer at a Bristol rehoming centre. It’s only three hours once a week, but it’s tremendously rewarding. I’m aware each rehoming centre has a different catchment area, and that means
Who would believe I’d have written so many, I think it has more to do with the rhythm of writing one a week. That, and setting off on a new journey with Zeke. I am planning a refresh of my site, which is a little overdue. It won’t happen for

I read that the late Queen had over 30 dogs in her lifetime. That’s phenomenal. Zeke is my sixth dog. With Winston as my first dog in 1990, that’s 32 years! Where does the time go. I remember each and every one of my dogs, as if it was yesterday.
