Take extra care of your pets over the holidays and especially NYE

Deciding the subject of my last blog post for 2015 didn’t take too long.

It is no coincidence then that the theme and message in my book ‘Little Dog and the Christmas Wish’ – also the theme for this year’s Myer Windows – is that pets of all kinds need nurturing, looking after, feeding, loving, keeping safe and yes, it is for life.
