A massive thank you for having our peanut while we was away! We will definitely be bringing him to you every time we get away on holiday. For everyone who is looking to find a bird boarder this really is the best option we had so many lovely updates about how well he was doing and his unusual bathing habbits genuinely couldn’t them recommend enough
