OK, I'm going to be 50. I'm coming to terms with it.

I have everything I need and my lovely husband keeps the alcohol fairly well stocked up so I'm happy . I'm apparently not allowed any more actual dogs (well,  not on purpose anyway...) but I'd still like to help as many of the less fortunate ones out there as I can.

For those who feel they would have liked to buy me a gift - the thing I would love most of all is to buy some kennels for my favourite charity - Wonderland, Bid to Save a Stray. Their sanctuary in Romania is home to over 1600 dogs who have been rescued from very terrible things. 

Whilst they are well looked after and are free to roam across the many acres of the farm freely and safely, the temperatures drop quickly at this time of year and there will be snow on the ground for many months. We have a local company who make purpose-built multi-dog kennels for around £100 each. Every one of the kennels we send will allow some of the dogs to get off the frozen ground and stay warm through the worst of the weather conditions.

If I could send just one of these out to Wonderland as part of my Birthday celebrations it would be amazing.
