By Trisha Gurley Be prepared – it’s the Boy Scout motto and a good motto for us all. Alas, I’ll be the first to admit that I am not always prepared. I’m doing well to get myself dressed and out the door most mornings. Keeping a decent food supply in the kitchen and enough toilet [...]

I don’t know about you, but I have never been so excited to see the pages of the calendar turn to March. Although this time of the year means windy days, I’m more than happy to have wind versus snow and ice. After a winter like this maybe we should pick up the neighborhood and [...]

By Trisha Gurley With warmer weather approaching, hopefully ushering out winter, your dog is probably raring to go. Just like people, dogs love to play in the sunshine and fresh air. The ideal is to have a spacious yard for a dog to play in or to take the dog to a park or other [...]
