We had a great time at our 5K this morning! We had a great group of runners and walkers who participated this chilly Saturday in Rancho Santa Margarita.

Many thanks to Mike from Pacific Coast Race Timing … [Read more...]

I was passing out the grain when I walked by Titan's stall, and noticed him choking- he had green gunk coming out of his nose and mouth and seemed to be suffocating on his own bile. I immediately called the vet's office … [Read more...]
