Miss A is crazy about dogs, and cats, and rabbits, and guinea pigs. Not a day goes by when she doesn't ask for one or all as a pet(s). She talks about Noxie Dawg often and whilst she's glad he's found a new home, she still calls him 'my dog'.We have a cat lady living... Continue Reading →
Dancing Queen
Miss A is mad for a bit of dancing. We can be in a store and she bops away to the music in the background. She dances at the dinner table, she shimmy's in the back seat of the car and sometimes I catch her just marching around the backyard!Click here to see Miss A... Continue Reading →
