Jolene-Ann Erasmus Hi guys, our tiny minature pincher has gotten out of our new home in Hinton rd, Taradale while we were at work. Please let me know if you may have seen her, she is my baby! She is wearing a thick black citronella spray collar to prevent her from barking. She is a very nervous little girl so she may be hiding in someone’s garden 😢 please call me on 0273419450 😢😢
Lest we forget...
On this ANZAC Day, let's take a moment to remember and honor the brave men and women who have served and continue to serve our country.
Tell us who are you honouring today. Whether it's a story from the battlefield or a memory of a family member who fought in the war, we'd love you to share your stories below.
