This day was created in 2000 by the World Veterinary Association to highlight and promote the work performed by veterinarians around the globe.

Zizzi rustica pizza jackfruit pepperoni

Now I love pizzas. If I was to have a last meal it would most likely be a pizza of some sort. The downside however, is that pizza does not love me.

Of course, the macros of the products are some … Continue reading Squeaky Beam pastrami →

Should you keep your cat indoors?

I have seen this debate going around online quite a lot in recent months. There are obviously a lot of different sides of this debate so I thought it would be interesting to address these arguments. Now I will preface this by saying that I am a very nervous pet parent - I think after … Continue reading Should you keep your cat indoors? →
