The Spirit Specialist

The Spirit Specialist would like to issue an apology to the dogs (and their owners!) of Howden - unfortunately the high winds have blown the dog treat box off the wall and it appears to have been run over by a car, so there are bits everywhere 😫

There'll be a hiatus in the Dogtail Bar until I can get some kind of replacement - it was purchased from Wilko and that's now non-existent so I need to go searching!

Image shown is my imagined reaction of at least one dog in the area!
