Please welcome, Bugsy to my family!

Please all welcome, Bugsy to my family! Mark and myself got him last week! He’s sure been a hell of a lot of work so far! Sure, he will come good in the end!

He’s not had the best start in life! So will need more, training, looking after, and loving than any other dog, that I’ve had over the years!

Of course, think Cooper, would be so happy, we are going to give another dog, a very, very loving home!!

P.S. Want to help Mark, and myself support Bugsy?!?!? Please check out, our amazon wishlist at www.amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/ls/2NX6LRZ6RFUZF?ref_=wl_share
