Family Lockdown Boogie with Maisey the Family Dog

Here’s a bit of fun from the Buchanan family of four who are in Covid-19 lock-down like the rest of us.

A Song Dedicated To Our Dogs

Just yesterday, a friend sent me an adorable video of her dog on a walk with her. He is a cute, determined little fellow who with all his might, has robust, enjoyable walks.
