It will be cold, so cold….our Hot Dog Campaign!
It doesn’t seem that long ago we were worried about keeping the dogs cool and now we have to think about how to keep them warm over winter. The South West of France is all about weather extremes and it seems crazy that not long after installing misting systems, we need to consider more heat…
When I’am Old and Grey..
