Hello and Welcome to Jack’s Blog!
We hear it all of the time, “My dog is too small to hike!”, “My dog is too small for your classes”, “My dog is too small for WHATEVER!”. Guess what?! That is not true!

You are not allowed to disperse camp at Whiskeytown and Trinity Lake was too low so we opted for Lake Lewiston. It is part

There is a lot to learn about using these so we asked Nicole from Pupologie what she has found out by using essential oils. Here is what she had to say…. Working in the pet industry my eyes have been opened to how difficult it is to get
