Posted to: News & Entertainment
OK, so I am not happy. My boss evaluated a dog as appropriate and sent it to my play group Sunday. No sooner does the dog get into the hall then it bolts right for Sequoyah (only dog in the room at that moment - the lady was a few minutes early). She flattened my dog and scuffed her ear with a bite just...
