Here’s a bit of fun from the Buchanan family of four who are in Covid-19 lock-down like the rest of us. They make their home with their dog, Maisey, in Wellington, New Zealand, and give the world a bit of entertainment and levity during these trying times with a creative song and dance number. They’ve also been interviewed by RNZ, which is a New Zealand public broadcast service, and it’s quite fun to hear them talk about the experience of {Read More}

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.
