World Vet Day

World Veterinary Day is celebrated every year on the last Saturday of April, so I am technically a day early with this. This day was created in 2000 by the World Veterinary Association to highlight and promote the work performed by veterinarians around the globe.

Bat Appreciation Day

17 April marks International Bat Appreciation day! I always feel that bats get a bad rep, since it seems many people assume they are all vampires.

She is easily the most spoilt rabbit in all of England (possibly the world) and I would not have her any other way. She is sassy, she is a banana fiend and she will literally lie there … Continue reading Floof Friday →

Cats Protection: Stop the Big Kitten Con

I believe there are many different ways to promote activism and to be an activist for a cause you care about.
