We Got a Dog

If you’re a long time reader / follower of my antics on social media, you’ll know that the jemjabella household is a bit of a zoo. OK, a lot of a zoo. Well, we finally added another head to that this year when – after ~3 years of research, putting it off, saving, more research,… read full entry »
