I was watching the National Geographic Channel the other day and a show called The Last Days of Hitler came on. As is the case with many of these types of documentaries, it was fascinating. As they recounted the various battles that took place over the last year or so of WWII, I was struck […]
After Munson passed away and before we adopted Anderson, I read a couple of books on how to raise and train a puppy.
