Thankful Day
Qannik is sitting on Richland Balsam enjoying his time with The Herd. He loves his family, because his previous life was harsh. When we adopted him, his ears were bare from fly bites, his neck had open cuts from where he had a rope tied around his neck, and his feet were mangled from standing…

Normally, when we are having a howlfest and the human tries to get it on camera, we shut up. Not this time. We were way too much into the song and he got us. A lot. But we did have one last laugh. Well, a laugh in addition to the muddy paw prints on the…
