Like most people, I have not gotten out much lately (and by lately, I mean the past 8-10 months).

There is no denying the validity of guard dogs. They are known for being great protectors, and have a long hard earned track record for security and law enforcement positions. It is no wonder I have heard single people or families cite home security as a top reason they want a larger dog breed asContinue reading “Attack Cat”
Mr. Persistence
People will tell you that persistence is a good thing.
