We’re still here, too! And the Mountain Fire is not even on our bucket list. Frisbees, treats and getting adopted are. Reunited this week were Monty and Mugsy. Merlot, the chow-mix, strutted her stuff at the Pet Expo and caught the eye of her forever human. And she will always be best in show in […]
