Dont Poison Your Best Friend!
As we are approaching the vendange season I thought that I would remind you all that grapes can be poisonous to dogs. If you walk your dogs in or around vineyards please make sure that they don’t scoff grapes off the ground or indeed off the vine. If you do you are playing Russian roulette…
