The most important meal of the day is getting even tastier! This May across the country friends, families and colleagues are getting together and holding Big Dogs Breakfasts to raise money for charity Dogs for the Disabled.
We've had some lovely long weekends during May thanks to Easter, May Day and the royal wedding, and we've made the most of it, getting out and about with our dogs. Thinking back over May they've had some very different experiences. We've all climbed to the top of the Stiperstones, where the air is clear and the view breath-taking, but we've also gone underground. When we visited the Snailbeach Mine, I had no idea they would be so dog friendly, but they assured us that as long as the dogs were happy, they were welcome to accompany us into the mine.
So off we set - Buddy and Star trotting along beside us,
