I’ve not been blogging a lot lately but last week was the pinnacle of bad. I started off by having to go home from work on Wednesday as my throat was driving me mad. I saw the doctor and he said I had a throat infection which blossomed into a chest infection and then an [...]
As he’s been a regular visitor in the last couple of weeks, we took Sushi to the vets yesterday night to see if he’d been microchipped. Sadly, there were no chips on him but the vet said he must have had an owner at some point because he had had his front tooth filed down [...]
