22 / New Year, New Fur
The new Bulldog called Luna logo

Happy New Year and welcome to issue #22

2022 has been a year like no other, from global conflict to scarily out-of-control inflation. It's a year we won't forget. But as we reflect, it's important to recognise the positives - no matter how small they may be - and congratulate yourselves on your journey to being an awesome dog dad.

I'm grateful to every one of you for your readership throughout the year. And, I am excited to see what 2023 delivers.

Starting with a brand new look, I decided to create a new logo because, why not? Let me know what you think, it really resonates with me for obvious reasons.

I'll keep the rest of the newsletter short and sweet.
