While visiting with our Great Uncle recently, he told us all about the dog he and Grandpa had when they were boys. By the sounds of it, Cookie had a very good sense of humor. For you see he helped Grandpa pull a very funny trick on our Great Grandpa. Great Grandpa insisted that every […]
Asa here. Mom and I both have our annual physicals this week! However, whereas I look forward to seeing my veterinarian, Mom is a bit reluctant to see her doctor. What’s not to love? To show her there is nothing to fear, I decided to invite Mom to tag along on my yearly wellness checkup. […]
