It’s National Dog Day
Most weekdays I watch Daily Blast Live. It’s based in Denver, so the panelists/hosts are practically my neighbors.

Okay, so maybe not only in Colorado, but how often might you see this someplace else? Just as interesting was the accompanying article by Spencer McKee in OutThere Colorado: “Tips and tricks: … Continue reading Doggo rescue: So Colorado!
