    Today we not only walked but we cleaned up waste. Sadly there was so much the effort seemed to make no dent but little by little maybe someone seeing a family cleaning up with be motivated to ‘be better’

    Our dog sheds just too much. Keeping up with the shedding includes brushing and sometimes even ‘vacuuming’ shirts in addition to the recommended method thru this exercise.
