last week on the board I drew a slightly rushed diagram of how chickens formed their eggs via a suggestion I received on my last post. You can view this drawing in an image attached below.

As we are nearing the end of the month I wanted to do a fun survey with you deciding on your favourite dog breed. I have already had some suggestions and votes as shown by the tallies next to the answers and can say as of today German shepards are in the lead.
You can come into store and suggest a name to be on the board equalling a tally or ask for a tally to be added next to one already on the board. if you cannot come in store leave a comment on this post and I will add it for you!!!

The winning breed will have a board dedicated to them next week with a drawing and some fun facts about their breed and diet.
Get voting!!

Hello all, my name I Beth, and I work on a Saturday here at Botley Mills! I have been creating these designs on our whiteboard every week, to share new insights from my course at Sparsholt to help us all learn more about insightful topics that may be useful in our day-to-day lifestyles as pet owners. Attached below are some of the previous designs I have created during the past months. we currently have the ruminant stomach diagram as shown below; however, when you come into the store, it may have changed!

I am always looking for new ideas and different designs I can create that would spruce up shop life. I love the positive feedback I get from these drawings and how I can help people learn. I am always looking for new design opportunities, so if you have any suggestions, please leave them below!!!!! I am open to any animal-related suggestions, and I will be putting a new update post up each week, which I am in, and I hope you all enjoy them!

Please leave suggestions below!!😁
