No More Smelly Nellie

I was so scared. Mom took me to the vet again, but this time she left me. They put me in a cage, just like when I was at the shelter. I heard them say they would put me to…

On My Mind

I’ve had a lot on my mind lately. With the addition of Nellie our pack has grown to four mutts, not to mention people, goats, chickens and wild critters. I used to be a frat boy. Barked, played, ran off…
