My dog Max, now reaching the 5-year mark, has been told by his Vet that he needs to go on a diet. He’s being cut down to 3 cups of food and has been told to get more exercise. Max is glad about the exercise, but not thrilled with the food cut-back.
Talkin’ Trash
Today I had over 16 large trash bags full of trash, and two large garbage cans full of trash. Last night as my neighbor set his trash out, I noticed he did a double-take when he saw my plethora of garbage. I was hoping the trash guy would take it all. He quickly threw [...]
