Halelujah! The New Year is upon us and the Pack is back! I figured instead of posting a list of sentiments and hopes on Facebook, where it will get buried quickly, I shall lay out Dog and Business Goals for 2019 right here. There are things I could […]
Never have I ever felt so…so…. Well, so lame-brained! Never have felt so dopey in my life than when I went to take the SARTech II test. I had one of the best teachers. I had the book. I had some time to practice. But once I got […]
While we’re on the topic of playtime with pooches, I gotta share with you this great, new toy I found! For all sizes and activity levels of dogs, as well as all ages of humans in your pack, your pup can now play tug to his heart’s desire […]
