My step-father Andy found Ichabod as a puppy while walking through the woods. He was all skin and bones and he was inside of a flipped over pet carrier at the bottom of a ravine. He had clearly been dumped there and left to die. He had scars, all his ribs were showing and he… Continue reading Life Lessons From A Simple-Minded Dog

Now we all spend obscene amounts of time scrolling through and reading… Continue reading Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
