Review – PetSafe Ultrasonic Bark Collar
As a pet owner, how do you react when your pet acts out? It's a simple question that may not have a simple answer. Our dog Buddy is reactive, oh so very reactive. For example, he barked at the wind in our backyard once. Heard it, didn't like something about it and wasn't stoic about it.

Quote for 10/25/2023
As your partners in this practice, the trees and forests welcome you. They recognize and call to your inner forest. Take a moment right now to remember a tree that was in some way important to you early in your life. Maybe you walked by a ginkgo on the way to school and for one week each autumn it lit the breeze with golden leaves.
