Carnival Post: A Rare And Unique Opportunity

I haven’t participated in the assistance dog blog carnival in…ohmygod…2 years? ish? But L-Squared caught my attention, just in the nick of time. When I looked at the theme, I thought something I was thinking of writing anyway would fit happily into that theme, so here goes. Wow, I made it into the carnival! Who …

New Favourite Treats of Trix and Tans

I thought I’d mention a couple of things that really make Tansy leap for joy. The first is anything that comes from a website called www.biopaw.com.
