Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?

There are palatable tablets for worming and deflea-ing for my dog, but they don't seem to make any that my cats will eat, so yeah, worming time is a pain in the proverbial, and that's with two of us,...

Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?

Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?

Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?

My regular waterproofs leaked this morning, and forgot to pack my spare gloves so soggy cold hands for the ride home.
