Doing their share
Recently, we had some rewards points to use at Amazon and there are loads of household goods I would love to get. Naturally, almost everything we ordered was for the dogs. This was partially because we didn’t want to add … Continue reading

Time heals many wounds
During Rusty’s time with us, he has made more progress than we initially thought would be possible. While interaction with other dogs and acting as his leaders during the first few weeks benefited him a great deal, he continued to … Continue reading
