Puppy camp just ended yesterday, I will try to put up a bit of video tomorrow. However, in case you haven't seen this video, it is worth the watch just based on how much work these guys put into it! Today, I on Easter [...]
Thanks everyone for all of your wonderful comments about the free podcast I am giving away. A special shout out goes to all of the generous "geeks" reading my blog that have posted suggestions to help others having difficulties with the download. Reciprocity rocks! Since [...]
