POST TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER AFTER GERMAN SHEPPARD ATTACK Bob and I were taking one of our many daily walks. Bob is of the view a tired dog is a happy dog. He sure has that one right.

RORY INSPIRED BY THE SOUND OF MUSIC! I had been listening to radio and television advertisements promoting a revival of the musical “The Sound of Music”.

BRAVE NEW WORLD As a FOB, as all puppies are, life graduates in excitement day after day assuming you have caring and attentive masters.
