Shiloh at the SAFE Show!

Dexter at the SAFE Show

Health Update: Emmy
This week we brought Emmy home from winter turnout at foster. We had a lameness evaluation done on Tuesday (video posted below) and sadly, she is still slightly off on the right hind. The time off has helped her some, but there is clearly something still bothering…
