Ha, have just went through the monthly "white rabbit" ritual with my mum & sisters this morning 🐇🐇🐇 Hope you reap the luck this month!

I want to thank everyone who asked about my boy. Frank had a stroke & bleed on the brain, confirmed with an MRI on Thursday. He is recovering well, thanks to our wonderful vets. Folks with dogs, signs to look out for are a 'drunken' gait, circling, head tilt & lameness. #dogs #jrt

Love that some children see their stammer as their super power
