    I don’t think my wants are unreasonable. I am not after a lottery win or a dream holiday, just an ordinary life. Over the last year everyone has had to adjust to living a different life and living with restrictions to their lifestyle in order to deal with the Covid pandemic. For me life has…

    Oreo is nearly 7 months old and just as with babies she has changed a lot. In fact according to the information I found she is almost a teenager! She is certainly showing that sort of behaviour! I can’t cope with 2 teenage girls in the house!! Hopefully due to having being spayed Oreo will…
