...When you are preparing to bring a puppy home there are lots of things you need to have a bed, food and water bowls, toys, collar and a lead. Alongside all these items we also bought a Dog-it Animal Crate made by Hagen when we brought our puppy home in July. Why a crate? = Our breeder recommended a crate both for toilet training and also for providing the puppy with a safe area so he wouldn't come to any harm when we weren't there and also so he couldn't damage things when we were out. A crate is basically a large cage designed for your dog. The crate we bought We bought a Dog-it 2 door wire crate, our breeder was kind enough to take us to a pet cash and carry and these were the ones available there and we got it for a lot cheaper than it retails in the shops or online.

...It is, I think, a good idea to confront one's prejudices from time to time, and it would be hard to be more prejudiced than I am against The Sun newspaper. I hardly ever see The Sun in the usual way of things, let alone read it, yet if you asked me to describe it I would have no difficulty in trotting out at least a dozen derogatory adjectives, the most polite of which you will see listed as "Cons" in the summary points above. The fact that The Sun is part of Rupert Murdoch's media empire only serves to redouble my bias against it. The trouble is that I'm such a sad case of bleeding-heart liberal that I'm not truly content to live with knowing I'm prejudiced.
