I asked Kerry about the work both she and Hayley do to raise awareness of the condition and the progress that they have already made. Despite being told she would probably not make it past her thirteenth year, Hayley is fast…
If you like books and you like dogs then this book is a match made in heaven 🙂 We never read a autodogbiography before and we loved this one!
This is a very original book idea because the story is written by James Barklee, author and illustrator of this book, an ordinary small dog living an ordinary life. And because of this, the story makes you reflect on dogs’ lives.
James is…
Any household containing children will be more than aware by now that Christmas is starting to rear its head, now being under three months away. Most of the supermarkets are now displaying their selection boxes and tinsel, while toy shops are urging and inviting you to buy this year’s must-have toys and games to make sure your little darlings don’t miss out on the big day.
