Now imagine that you were wearing a mini skirt and stilettos…

Shio’s New Scab

Over the holiday weekend, I brought Shio to Long Island to visit my family. They have a beautiful and grassy dog run blocks from their house, so I thought it would be a good idea for Shio to get a real run and play with other dogs while we were out there. While Shio was…

Chicks do dig scars, very manly. Have you threatened him with the cone of shame if he doesn’t stop his sneaky scratching? :-D
