I’ve been rather hectic this week and, although keen to publish the R+ vs Alpha theory blog I am working on, I haven’t yet had time to fine tune it!
As far as doggy news goes, my sister’s Leonberger sadly passed away a little while ago and left (quite literally) a massive hole…he was an absolutely fantastic dog with a big waggy tail and an adoration for all things ball shaped (the squeakier the better!)
