Trusting The Turtle Made It
The day started out with me and Dude and Frisco chasing ‘resident, over-fed Canada geese’ off our pond where the small amount of water flowing in, and lots of goose excrement piling up on the shore and in the water is not to our liking. Folks across the way in Major’s Choice are feeding these […]
