Its competition time!

With Crufts coming up, and a brand new Instagram account all about Maisie, it looks like its time to run a competition. We toyed with the idea of giving away a toy or a bag of treats but that never felt like enough, so instead Maisie has chosen to give away a whole Mystery Box to one of her fans for their dog!

Everything in there will be suitable for your dogs size, and it could contain anything from toys to collars to treats and so much more. There are lots of items in the mystery box and one lucky pup will win it all!

To enter, simply follow the instructions. The more things you do, the more entries you get! The more entries we get, the more items we add to the box!

Crufts Countdown!

Im sure many people reading this are as excited as I am. Crufts is the worlds biggest dog show, and you see some of the worlds most beautiful dogs competing against each other for the coveted Best In Show title!

I am heading up to Birmingham NEC on Toy and Utility Day, especially to see my favorite breeds, the Chihuahuas, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, and all 3 sizes of Poodle. Thanks to the Discover Dogs section I will also be able to go and say Hi to nearly any breed of dog you can imagine!

Lots of photos to be taken and lots of toys and treats to buy for my own pooches!

So excited!

Fun Fido Facts - Dogs!

1. The scientific name for a dog is Canis Lupus Familiaris. They have been domesticated and companions to us humans for around 10,000 years.

2. It is widely accepted that the Chihuahua is the worlds smallest breed of dog, although many Yorkshire Terriers and Pomeranians are very close.

3. The worlds largest breed is often accepted as being the Great Dane. However it has been argued that many Mastiffs are larger, or at least heavier, and that the Irish Wolfhound is sometimes taller.

4. The oldest dog ever recorded was an Australian Cattle Dog named Bluey. He was 29 years and 5 months old when he passed away. In human years, this makes him around 160 years old!

5. Most dogs are born with their markings, however there is an exception! When Dalmation puppies are born they are completely white, their spots develop over their first few weeks.

Why must the world fight?

The attacks recently are so awful, and Louis says it best - Why must we fight? This world is big enough for us all, if only we could learn to share and to get along with each other.
