Support the Guided Dog Foundation…and a 43 year old who's trying to pretend to be a 21 year old

September 1st, 2012 · No Comments · Animal Causes, Disability, Veterans and Military

Well, the last two posts have been on somewhat controversial topics, and so I thought I’d dedicate this post to something as non-controversial as you can get: PUPPIES!!!!!
