How we love Shirley’s dogs Hank and Luna who think our Umami recipe is just great. They are joined as you can see in the photos below by Cooper. Their dedicated Mum Shirley (who makes such delicious-looking batches of plant-based food) sent us the photos with this in the e-mail –
It has been a bit of a hectic few weeks, my father in law has been diagnosed with the virus (he already has cancer) so you can imagine how stressful it has been. Luckily he seems to be on the mend and has been sent home from hospital to self isolate. We are hopeful he will make a full recovery.
In the meantime, we have his little dog Cooper staying with us, who I am pleased to say also loves your food! I have attached some pics of the three of them waiting for their fresh batch earlier tonight.
Sending so much love out to Shirley, Hank, Luna, Cooper and Cooper’s Dad. Our dogs become even more important to us during this time of self-isolation.
