My Happy Birthday #Blogust Post

Approximately 1 in 4 dogs develops a tumor of some kind during his lifetime. At the University of Pennsylvania, Dr. Nicola Mason is literally prolonging the lives of dogs with her studies.

Teaching our Children about Gun Safety
America has changed and I am at a point where I am literally scared to see the future due to all the violence I read about on a daily basis. I can sit and complain OR do something already!!
