OMG, I didn't know this....

The world's smallest dog was from Lancashire like me!!!!!!:D :eek: :eek: :eek:

Not to give away too many details about where I live (mum would go mental!) but I live very close to Blackburn and go there quite a bit. I never knew that fact about it! Thanks for sharing! You learn something new everyday!
