Via Dogs Trust:

Most of us humans are delighted with the easing of restrictions and the return to ‘normal’ life…..however, not everybody feels the same, especially many of our furry friends.

Puppies and young dogs may never have known a home without people in it and even older dogs who were once used to their owners leaving to go to work, have become used to human company throughout the pandemic.

We have lots of tips and tricks to help prepare your dog for spending more time in their own company, and to teach them vital skills that they can apply in any situation.

By signing up to receive a very special Life After Lockdown pack, you will receive a guide on how to get your dog ready, what do if you’ve just brought a pooch home, and how to help prepare them for life after lockdown.

“Wherever animals are used for entertainment and profit corners will always be cut. Cruelty, exploitation and death are a sad reality of the horse racing industry here in Ireland and the UK.

“The industry is not glamourous, it’s not fun and it should come to an end because of the immense exploitation and cruelty involved.

“We call on kind people everywhere to tear up their betting slips and would urge progressive members of government to axe any further grants in the upcoming budget to this deadly industry.”

Wholly Cow Burgers, Newcastle Road, Galway

‘With the Government making the decision on whether indoor dining can resume this Wednesday – we have decided here at Wholly Cow Burgers that we WON’T be opening indoors.

We have made this decision as we simply don’t feel comfortable policing our customers, whom we are so grateful to for supporting us through an incredibly difficult 17 months for our industry.

We will still be open in our newly refurbished outdoor area, along with click & collect through our website.

We are waiting until everybody is allowed to enjoy indoor dining before opening. Thank you all once again.’

Oh.

Bill Clinton turned down tea with Britain’s Queen Elizabeth because he fancied a curry, formerly classified documents reveal

Most leaders wanted to be seen
Sitting down for some tea with a queen
But was until
A fellow called Bill
Declared that that wasn’t his scene
