I Would Walk 500 Miles

Since we got B.B. (nigh on fourteen months ago) we've constantly struggled to give her the exercise she needs.  Malamutes require a significant amount.  Lots of dogs do, sure, but this breed in...

K and I have this little contest going on: who can see the grossest thing. Mind you, it's not something we enjoy, but it just seems to happen. I'm sure you've seen them, too. You look around the corner...
