HOW AMAZING is Best in Park?
My dog Milo is the bomb. He’s mad as a meat axe, which I love, he’s also sweet, intuitive and talks to me. He’s regularly found chasing small dogs in the park, poo’ing, sleeping, lying on his mat, and trying to sneak onto the couch. He also pees on his feet like a girl – [...]
