Change your life with some help from your dog!
Not that I need an excuse to post another photo of Riley, but the email I received from Tony Leiker, the owner of the Adirondack Cheese Company, proved to be the perfect incentive!

When I found myself renewing it for the third time, I knew I had a keeper. For those of us who are already well-versed in dogspeak, reading this book will be like settling down in a comfortable chair with your feet up, knowing that … [Read more...]
